Most digital health teams lose quarters to bad hires. We exist to close that gap.
Roles stay open too long. Founders spend nights running searches. Agencies show up at offer stage and disappear. The hire walks at month seven. FoundHuman is a recruiting firm built to take the entire function off your plate — end-to-end, week-to-week, accountable to retention.
Why FoundHuman exists.
Most digital health companies are losing quarters to bad hiring. Roles sit open. Founders run searches between board meetings. Agencies charge a percentage of salary, parachute in at offer stage, and vanish. The hire walks at month seven, and the cost shows up on the next board deck. The cost falls hardest on the companies that can least afford it.
FoundHuman was built around that problem. A decade inside digital health — GTM, product, customer success, engineering — made the gap obvious: clients needed an internal recruiting team, not another vendor on retainer. So the model is exactly that. Hiring runs end-to-end — sourcing, vetting, scheduling, candidate management, weekly standups — at near the cost of running it yourself. Flexible week-to-week. Pilot a single role. Scale when it's working. Augment an existing team when one already exists.
Underneath: a 22-point custom playbook for every search, weighted scorecards with dual rubrics and blind scoring, a live dashboard, and a 15-month guarantee. The framework that drives 93% retention at 12 months — roughly twice the industry average — and the reason ten-year clients are still ten-year clients.
Four principles, applied to every search.
Retention is the only outcome.
A placement that walks at month seven isn't a placement. We measure success at 12 months — and we run the whole methodology to earn it.
Process beats opinion.
The decision is grounded in the rubric, not the loudest voice in the debrief. Blind-scored, weighted, ranked.
Transparent by default.
You see the playbook on day one. The pipeline as it forms. The scoring as it happens. No black box. No status meeting to find out where you stand.
Built to hand off.
We're not in the retainer business. We build the function, train your in-house team, and make sure the system works after we leave.
The numbers we hold ourselves to.

A short call. We'll tell you whether the search is built for our process — and what we'd do differently if it were.
