Recruiting services

Two recruiters. One agentic backbone.

Ben hires the engineers. Nhat hires the GTM. Both work inside the same agentic talent system that built Chosen — so the candidates show up faster, and they show up qualified.

Meet the duo

Two specialists. Two clear lanes.

No retention specialist. No account manager. The recruiter who sources your candidates is the same person who runs your weekly sync.

Engineering hires

Ben Gutierrez

Backend, ML/AI, infra, data, founding engineers, robotics. Ben evaluates engineers as engineers — not as a stack of keywords.

Multidisciplinary engineer with a data-science background. He's shipped production systems, built ML pipelines, and sat on both sides of the hiring table. He'll talk to your candidates the way your CTO would.

Nhat Nguyen
GTM, marketing & ops hires

Nhat Nguyen

Founding AEs, growth marketing, demand gen, RevOps, customer success leads, chiefs of staff. The roles that determine whether your engineering output ever turns into revenue.

Former Chief of Staff who lived the recruiting marathon — scheduling, screening, calibration, the whole thing. She has a sharp instinct for the hires that move a startup from product-market-fit to repeatable revenue.

How we work

From intake to placed in weeks, not quarters.

We move at the speed of your hiring need — because the agentic system underneath us doesn't sleep, ghost, or take vacations.

    1

    Intake call

    30 minutes with Ben or Nhat. We get the role, the bar, the must-haves, the deal-breakers, and the parts of the job description you didn't write down.

    2

    The agents go to work

    Our Sourcing Agent scans the open web for matching profiles. Match scoring runs against your specific criteria. Outreach drafts come back the same week — with the candidates pre-evaluated, not just pre-listed.

    3

    Human curation

    Ben or Nhat personally reviews every shortlist. The agent finds 200 — we send you the ten worth your time. We're the filter, not just the funnel.

    4

    You hire

    First interviews land in your calendar within seven days of intake. Most placements close in weeks. We stay in your loop until the offer is signed.

What makes us different

We built the system we use.

Most agencies run on a database, a few LinkedIn licenses, and a lot of grit. We run on the same agentic talent system we ship as software — sourcing agents that scan the open web, claim-by-claim match scoring, scheduling automation, semantic search across every candidate we've ever talked to. That's the moat. The agents do the legwork. We do the judgment.

What we hire for

Specialists in the lanes that matter most.

We don't pretend to recruit for everything. We recruit for the roles where a fast-growing startup either compounds or stalls.

Founding AE & growth marketing

First sellers and the growth-marketing leads who build the demand engine. The first 1-3 hires that decide whether the GTM motion is repeatable.

Finance, RevOps, CS leads, chief of staff

Finance leads, revenue ops, customer success leads, chiefs of staff. The operators that make the rest of the org legible — books that close, pipeline visibility, retention systems, executive leverage.

Backend & infra engineers

Distributed systems, platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, databases, observability. The people who keep your product upright under load.

ML / AI engineers

Applied ML, LLM integration, retrieval, evals, agent infrastructure. The hires that turn "we should add AI" into shipped product.

Founding engineers

Generalists who can ship across the stack, set the engineering bar, and recruit the next five hires after themselves.

Data & analytics

Data engineers, analytics engineers, ML scientists. The hires that turn raw events into the answers your board wants tomorrow.

How we charge

Just a 12% placement fee.

We earn on outcomes — 12% on every hire that closes. Your first placement also comes with a full year of our product, bundled in.
