The companies we work with compete for talent against the biggest names in Silicon Valley. The search has to reach as far as theirs does: the Bay Area first, then every market where the right person might be.
Los Angeles is home base. Same time zone as the Valley, about an hour by air, and open to candidates and companies anywhere.
A wider slate makes a stronger shortlist.
Inclusive search is part of how every slate gets built. Sourcing goes beyond the usual networks so the shortlist reflects the full field of people who can do the job.
The result is a stronger set of finalists and a team that holds up as the company grows.
