Employers
Genuine Experience. Top Tier Talent.

We are your partner from start to finish.

Our clients, and candidates, return again and again because we deliver top talent quickly. 

Technology focus & experience

Hundreds of hours with Engineering Hiring Managers and thousands of hours of Developer interviews means that we get it. We’ve seen it all.

Human touch

Business is business. But we’re all really humans – and that’s how we approach every client, role and candidate. Clients and candidates love working with us for a reason.

Efficient process

All that experience and success means that we don’t waste time and effort; yours or ours. And that includes more “one and done” hires than you’d expect!

Growing Businesses

Partnering authentically where you need it and when you need it

Venture Firms

Working at the intersection of asset managers and startup leadership to deliver talent

Clients only receive top candidates to review

Typical agencies will fire over tons of candidates for Hiring Managers to review, just hoping to get one that sticks. That’s not our approach. Our goal is to save you time. We take the time to understand the role, carefully pre-screen candidates, and only bring you the best of the best to review.

Candidates get the best treatment

Typical agencies don’t care about candidate experience – they just try to process candidates as quickly as possible. That’s not our approach. Candidates are critical to your business – and ours. We take the time throughout the process to provide the best candidate experience

Top level technical recruiting experience

Typical agencies say they have technical knowledge…but it’s not really true. They may have hired some technical roles in the past, but it’s not their focus. Technical is what we do – and our stats back it up.

We focus on FTE roles, no "contract" roles.

Some agencies spread their focus across short-term roles and FTE roles. Great for them – but we think that creates a cycle of always chasing the next short term contract. Not us. We solve your long-term FTE needs.

How we work

Services we provide

Contingent Search

Pay contingent on us successfully filling your role(s). We have placed 100+ candidates over the past 6 years at organizations like yours in this way.

Container

Hybrid of Contingent and Retainer – Instead of engaging multiple contingent recruiters who will create noise in the market, you pay a small deposit to engage a committed search with a more limited contingent fee.

Retained Services

If you are looking to grow FAST and in bunches, a dedicated retainer gets you dedicated and embedded resources to hire waves of talent.

Executive Search

For those key, key members of your team. Retain one of our talented Executive Recruiters for the duration of the search.

Our process

Discovery and Scope

Our team has the experience and know-how to help Recruiters and Hiring Manager unpack what really matters for a role and candidate. We are happy to talk through your needs and how to achieve them

Candidate Sourcing

Typical agencies will fire over tons of candidates to review, just hoping to get one that sticks. Not us. Our goal is to save you effort and time. We listen to understand the role, carefully pre-screen candidates, and only bring you the best of the best to review.

Candidate Offer…and the “yes”

If we’re honest, this is the easiest part if we’ve done all the other pieces correctly. And that’s why clients love working with us. But we’re here to manage the final back and forth to get a “yes”.

Our challenging C-level recruiting project had specific requirements and targeted a non-traditional candidate pool. We wanted an efficient process without the usual formalities and fluff from large search agencies. Sabrina exceeded our expectations, sourcing strong candidates and securing an excellent hire for the role. What sets Sabrina apart is her authentic, straightforward approach and results-driven focus, which resonate with both candidates and board members alike.

Tom Seery
Exec Chairman & Founder

Sabrina has helped me hire dozens of candidates from entry level to executive level engineering roles. Her ability to introduce candidates whose value extended far beyond the written requirements for roles is an asset. She has a keen sense for the personalities of both the hiring manager and the candidate, and uses that insight to make amazing matches.

Evidence

Senior level to IC

This Series A, Healthcare Tech startup partnered with SHC to dramatically increase their engineering team after the latest round of funding. SHC helped add 10+ hires in ~12 months, including roles from Senior Level to IC, like Director of Data Science and Senior UX Designer.

An asset to large venture capital

The largest VC in the PacNW with over $2B assets under management and 130 active portfolio companies, backing founding teams in seed, early, and acceleration stages in the PacNW and Silicon Valley. Examples include OctoML (acquired by NVIDIA), Pulumi, ReadAI, and more. Genu Talent is their “go to” recruiting source for technical resources across their investments.

From 5 to 40 employees

Sequoia, Founders Fund and others have backed this Hard Tech startup in Los Angeles. Genu Talent worked as a Retained Partner over 14 months as 1st full Recruiting Lead to help grow the company from 5 to 40 employees. Worked directly with C-level for strategy and execution – including hiring their first FTE Recruiting Lead.

Empowering a senior engineering team

Founded by Garrett Camp (Uber co-founder), Mix.com is a simple way to discover great content matched to your interests. Genu Talent worked to find additional members of the senior Engineering team.

Sabrina combines creativity, strategic thinking, and leadership in her work. Her ability to identify top talent and assess both technical skills and cultural fit has been key. Her collaborative approach and consistent results make her an invaluable partner for building strong Product and Engineering teams.

Matt Witt
Talent Scout, Advisor

Extremely professional, hard working, capable of delivering and receiving feedback, and a strong extension of your recruiting team. I would 10/10 work with her again. She is highly trustworthy and easy to get along with. She was so much more than an executive recruiter and I am forever grateful I was introduced to her.
