How nothiring works

From briefing to a validated finalist — without you interviewing ten wrong candidates.

Tell us the role

Over Slack or a 20-minute call. Stack, seniority, team context. We do the briefing properly.

We source & validate

Our network and our own sourcing tool. We reach out on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, and screen every candidate ourselves — for technical skill, fit with your team, and how well they work with AI.

You interview & close

One or two pre-validated finalists. You make the offer. 15% of salary on signing. Free replacement under 3 months.

We source from our network, yours, and the open web. We screen every candidate — for skill, fit, and AI-readiness. You get the best fits, not a pile of CVs.

Built by engineers who judge real knowledge and attitude, not buzzwords.

Technical founders, not recruiters

We’re technical cofounders who’ve been engineers and engineering leads. We judge GitHub, architecture and take-homes — not “top-tier profiles”.

Proprietary AI + human judgment

We build our own sourcing and scoring tool. AI scales the judgment; it doesn’t replace it.

Asymmetric risk

No retainer. 15% only if they sign. Free replacement or 50% back if the candidate leaves within 3 months.

Common questions

What does it cost? +

15% of first-year salary, paid on signing. No retainer, no upfront fee. You only pay when you actually hire someone we found. Free replacement or 50% back if they leave within 3 months.

How are you different from a traditional agency? +

Traditional agencies send you ten CVs and you interview them all. We hand you one or two candidates we’ve already validated — technically and for fit with your team. We’re engineers: we read their GitHub and run a technical screen ourselves, and we check they fit what you actually need — not just the stack — before you ever talk to them.

How long does a process take? +

Typically we present the first candidate within 2–3 weeks of kickoff. Because they arrive pre-validated, you run two interviews, not ten.

What if the candidate doesn’t work out? +

If they leave within the first 3 months, we cover the replacement at no cost or refund 50%.

“AI-driven”... every agency says that now. +

True, it’s an inflated word. What’s different here is that the cofounders build the AI themselves — we have our own infrastructure for sourcing, scoring and screening.

Do you check if candidates can work with AI? +

Yes — it’s now part of being a strong engineer. We look at how a candidate actually uses AI day to day: where it speeds them up, how they review its output, and when they know not to trust it. Being AI-ready isn’t about buzzwords — it’s about shipping better, faster.

Do you only hire engineers? +

Today we only cover technical roles, because that’s where we have real judgment. We’d rather do one thing very well than five things poorly. For non-technical roles we can point you to someone who does it well.

What if you can’t find anyone good? +

Then we tell you. We’d rather say “this role is hard” or “your range is below market” than send you someone we don’t believe in. You don’t pay for a search that doesn’t close.
