John Doffing, the founder of START, has extensive operational experience as an entrepreneur and sales/marketing executive with multiple venture-funded technology companies. He has successfully recruited hundreds of candidates and has worked with countless recruiters over the years. With few exceptions, John found traditional recruiting firms to be ill-suited to the demands of creating a viable startup company. This sentiment was not particularly unique, as one might imagine, and START was itself able to recruit a decidedly top-notch team of like-minded individuals and advisors.

Quite simply, we set out to transform a moribund and anachronistic industry - and it seems to be working!

At best, traditional recruiting companies are too slow, too expensive, and lack a fundamental understanding of the operational requirements of a startup company. At worst, they are the telemarketers and used-car salespeople of the new economy.

Either way, they just don't get it.

We get it. And our testimonials speak for themselves...

FASTER!
Typical START searches take days, not months.

BETTER!
Let's be honest. The bar amongst recruiters is set pretty low!

Frequently disappointed with the alternatives, our clients have hired us to find the sort of specialized candidates that are NOT actively looking for a new position, but who would be available for the -right- startup opportunity.

You teach us your business inside and out (under NDA), and we use our experience and contacts to recruit the optimal team. The vast majority of the THOUSANDS of candidates who have submitted their resumes to START tell us that they have never posted their resume online, and most of our applicants share our disdain for traditional recruiting agencies. Our unique approach and broad network reaches the sort of top-notch candidates that traditional recruiting methodologies overlook.

CHEAPER!
START provides our clients with UNLIMITED RECRUITING for six months under a decidedly simple model - a single blanket retainer + a percentage of each successful hires' annual compensation, including options - which are vested along with the employee (we still believe in options!).

And did we mention that EVERYTHING WE DO IS 100% GUARANTEED?

Based on recent testimonials from both clients -and- candidates, our approach seems to be working!
