Recruiters spend most of their time on manual sourcing instead of actually talking to good candidates and closing roles. We want to fix that end-to-end.At this stage, everyone here is close to the product. There's no layer between you and the decisions that matter. If something's broken, you fix it. If something needs to be built, you build it. We move fast, we argue about the right call, and we ship. It's not for everyone, but if you want real ownership this early in a company, this is that seat.If this sounds like your kind of problem, message me directly or send your profile across. We're moving quickly on this one.
