Technical hiring is broken.
The traditional recruitment playbook was written before remote-first, before AI résumés, before live identity verification became possible. These two problems are what we hear from founders every week.
days to fill a senior tech role
Industry baseline. Each open role costs ~$500/day in lost productivity. Two months = $30K vanished before the candidate even signs.
success-fee from manual agencies
Plus setup fee upfront. Plus interview fees. Plus exclusivity clauses. On an €80K hire that stacks up to €18-25K, with zero AI verification.
A structured funnel that de-risks every hire.
A bad hire costs 25–40K. Our funnel replaces guesswork with behavioral tests and a weighted scorecard you co-design at intake. No black box, no opaque scoring.
Intake & scorecard
20-min call. We build a structured scorecard with weighted skills, must-haves, deal-breakers. Validated by your hiring manager before any sourcing.
AI-powered sourcing
Crawl4AI across LinkedIn, GitHub, specialist communities. Email verification for clean outbound. ~80–200 sourced per role.
AI video validation
Live session with 3 sub-agents: Yuka (technical), Sinda (soft skills), Olga (HR). Identity check, skill probing, recorded with audit trail.
Validated shortlist
3–5 candidates delivered with scorecard, validation footage, salary benchmarks, references. You meet only people who passed our gate.
Hand-off & 5% on hire
You handle final-round interviews. We support offer negotiation and onboarding. 5% invoiced after start date. 90-day guarantee.

Honest answers to questions founders actually ask.
We charge 5% success-fee on year-1 salary, paid only after the candidate starts. No retainer, no setup fee, no exclusivity. Every candidate is screened by our live AI video validation. Manual agencies typically charge 20–30% plus setup and hidden charges — €18–25K on an €80K hire for the same output.
It's a live verification system combining identity check with real-time skill testing during a video interview. Three AI sub-agents probe the candidate, record the session, and produce an auditable score — detecting fake CVs and identity fraud that phone screens cannot.
Yes, by design not retrofit. Recruitment is high-risk under Annex III. Our platform covers all four mandatory pillars: human-in-the-loop scoring (Art. 14), bias monitoring with audit trail (Art. 15), candidate transparency (Art. 13), GDPR-native data handling. Enforcement begins August 2026 — we're 18–24 months ahead.
