Methodology

How a search is run
inside our operating system.

Our practice is recruiting for digital health, and only that. Ten years across the functions that are hardest to staff at a venture or sponsor backed company: product, engineering, go-to-market, clinical, and operations.

  1. 01

    Plan

    A twenty-two point playbook, calibrated to the role and pressure-tested with your hiring team before sourcing begins. Your team sees the playbook from day one as the operating document for the search.

  2. 02

    Source

    Three sourcing channels run in parallel on every search. Targeted inbound, named outbound to operators who fit the rubric, and warm introductions through ten years of operator and investor relationships.

  3. 03

    Score

    Candidates are evaluated against weighted rubrics in two dimensions: judgment and behavior, and skill and depth. Scores are submitted blind and the shortlist is ranked. The decision is grounded in the framework rather than the strongest voice in the debrief.

  4. 04

    See

    FoundHuman OS is the dashboard for your search. Pipeline, scoring, channel performance, compensation benchmarks, and time-to-fill update as they happen. The data replaces the weekly status meeting.

  5. 05

    Guarantee

    A fifteen-month placement guarantee, five times the industry standard. Ninety-three percent of placements remain in the role at twelve months. If a placement leaves inside the window, we run the search again at no additional fee.

How we work

A dedicated team. Three sourcing engines.
Programs for every stage of the business.

01

Dedicated team per job

A senior operator runs the search alongside a sourcer, a scheduler, and a candidate manager.

02

Three sourcing engines

Inbound, outbound, and warm network. Every search, every time.

03

Pilot, then scale

Most engagements begin with a free pilot week on a single role. After that, week-to-week terms with no multi-quarter retainer.

04

Yours to keep

Playbooks, scorecards, candidate notes, dashboards. All proprietary to you.

05

Augments your team

Built to work alongside an internal recruiting function. The cadence integrates with your existing process and graduates into your team when the search work is done.

Before FoundHuman, recruiting was a sinking ship and we couldn't keep up. They built our talent acquisition strategy and grew our team by over 100 people before hiring and training our internal recruiters to take over. I don't know what I would have done without them.
