For Employers
First hires, senior ICs, and the leadership layer.
These are high-stakes hires. Getting one wrong is expensive. That’s why I only take a few at a time and focus properly on each.
- Founding engineers and first technical hires
- Senior and staff ICs
- Engineering leadership, handled discreetly
- Aftercare for months after they start
For Candidates
I won’t waste your time.
I’m not going to send you a job that doesn’t fit just to fill a slot. I take time to understand what you actually want, tell you the truth about each role, and stay in touch long after you’ve started. If I reach out, it’s because I think it’s worth your while.
- Senior roles at companies building real products
- Honest answers on comp, team and runway
- Prep and feedback through every stage
- A relationship that outlasts the placement

Track record
Don’t take my word for it.
Every one of these is from a client or candidate I’ve worked with.
Real names, because they were happy to attach them.
Sam helped us hire a senior founding engineer, a critical role we couldn’t afford to miss. He was flexible and quick on his feet when our needs shifted mid-process. He asked the right questions to truly understand what we were after, and his extensive start-up experience meant he got the nuances.
From kickoff to aftercare, the process felt professional and authentic, and we ended up with a great hire.
Mathias – CTO
I had the pleasure of working with Samuel, and I can confidently say he is a highly professional and supportive recruiter.
From the very beginning, Samuel showed genuine interest in understanding my experience, skills, and career goals. He maintained clear and timely communication throughout the entire process and demonstrated an earnest and transparent approach. Thanks to his guidance, the process felt smooth, personal, and human from start to finish.
I highly recommend Samuel to any professional seeking opportunities or any company looking for a recruiter who truly cares about connecting the right people with the right roles.
