BrainTrust can help you crush your hiring plan. Most startups have similar recruiting goals:

• Quality: Talent is #1. We want to find and hire the best, most appropriate candidates on the market.
• Speed: We need people yesterday, and the longer it takes, the more time before we launch our kick-ass product/feature/game, etc..
• Cost: Money matters. We need to be economical as possible.

BrainTrust can help you demolish the first two, and make the third, cost, a virtual non-factor. If you are interested in starting a conversation, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at 415.814.0014 or hiring@braintrust.com.

QUALITY:

We understand that your top employee is significantly more impactful than the average one. Our entire business is built to uncover these top performers and introduce them to you.

BrainTrust starts with a deeper, broader pool of talent.

It’s a simple fact — no matter the extent of your efforts, your company will likely attract only a small slice of the available pool of candidates. Most top candidates will never hear of your company.

BrainTrust works with dozens of top-tier startups, and the collective mindshare of that collection attracts an unparalleled pool of talent to jumpstart your search for top talent.

Most successfully-placed candidates originally come to BrainTrust for another client, but ‘discover’ their eventual dream job with another company via our introduction.

We match for more than just a skill set.

At BrainTrust, we strive the make the perfect match. Over time, we get to know both our candidates and client companies, and work hard to pair interests and cultural preferences (in addition to the typical required skills and desired experience).

SPEED:

BrainTrust can shave weeks off your time-to-hire.

A few quick facts:

• Much of the time and effort of hiring is on the front-end — sourcing and aggregating a pool of candidates.
• Most startups do not have the internal bandwidth to actively and consistently source for every type of position throughout the calendar year. Typically their efforts in an area rises and falls with internal demand.
• Building an adequate candidate pipeline can take months.

BrainTrust allows you to skip this entire step and tap immediately into a pool of active, engaged and pre-matched candidates. We are actively searching for and engaging with all types of candidates all the time. So whether you are looking for a UX Designer or Server Engineer or a Product Manager, chances are we’ve effectively already started working on your search.

We’ve been around the block.

Our experienced set of recruiters have worked with virtually every flavor of company, from giants like Google and Microsoft to startups like Playdom and Kabam to non-tech stalwarts like The Gap and IDG. And we’ve built most departments common to most companies, including (but not limited to) engineering, product management, art/design, UI/UX, marketing, business intelligence, QA, and customer service. As a result, our learning curve with each new client is a short one, and we can produce results quickly.

We predict smooth sailing.

We also facilitate throughout the process, making scheduling phone screens and interviews hassle-free. We’re flexible — we can be as helpful as you want us to be.

Want a piece of our mind?

Our principals have spearheaded large-scale recruiting efforts for a number of technology companies, and are always happy to help you shape your recruiting efforts for maximum efficiency. It’s a free perk of working with BrainTrust.

If the standard search takes 10-12 weeks (an oft-quoted industry average), BrainTrust can help you cut this in half. And that’s 6 weeks headstart on your project/product schedule.

COST:

BrainTrust is a cost-effective solution.

OK, this warrants a bit more explanation. This statement does not hold up, obviously, if the pricetag is evaluated by itself. We charge an industry standard rate for our services. However, if you incorporate the hidden savings of more talented employees and speedier hires — which we think you should — then that the actual cost is largely mitigated.

That said, we work with startups of all shapes and sizes, and can put together hiring programs that makes sense for their business. But, if you are solely focused on the price tag, than we are not a solution for you.

In the end, BrainTrust can help you accelerate your hiring timeline, find the best possible candidate on the market and do so in a way that is cost-effective for your business. Want to hear more? Contact us at 415.814.0014 or hiring@braintrust.com.
