Startup Staffing

Permanent recruitment for technology startups and scaleups

Permanent recruitment for technology startups and scaleups, delivered by Humand consultants. You employ the successful hire directly, and the recruitment fee is paid as an agreed percentage of that hire's gross monthly salary each month while they remain employed.

One of the ways to work with Humand's specialist technology recruitment for employers.

Startup Staffing or Talent as a Service?

Startup Staffing places permanent employees you hire directly. The recruitment fee is an agreed percentage of the hire's gross monthly salary, paid monthly while they remain employed.

Talent as a Service is embedded recruitment capacity — a dedicated Humand consultant working inside your team on a fixed monthly retainer covering an agreed scope of hiring. Compare Talent as a Service.

Why clients engage us

What you get from working with Humand.

01

You employ the hire

The successful candidate joins your payroll as your permanent employee from day one. Humand recruits them; nobody sits between you and the person you hired.

02

The fee is paid monthly

The recruitment fee is an agreed percentage of the hire's gross monthly salary, invoiced each month while they remain employed, rather than as one sum on their start date.

03

Humand consultants, startup context

The same specialist consultants and headhunted search behind every Humand permanent hire, working to the pace and budget reality of an early-stage technology team.
