A 5-recruiter Austin tech boutique stopped losing candidates to faster competitors. We took over sourcing on three roles.
The firm was winning retained work but losing candidates. The founder sourced every search herself. Recruiters were full on interviews. "Role open" to "first shortlist" stretched to 3 weeks. By then the best candidates were interviewing elsewhere.
A US sourcer meant $95K + three months of ramp. Offshore VAs delivered bulk-scraped names that didn't convert. She needed sourcing that was fast, hand-vetted, and loaded into Greenhouse same-day.
A dedicated sourcer with US tech recruiting experience embedded in their Greenhouse. LinkedIn Recruiter, hireEZ, Apollo. Three roles in parallel.
Senior Backend, Staff iOS, Engineering Manager. Each with its own target map and brief.
First-touch outreach before any Greenhouse load. Only confirmed-interested made the shortlist.
3–5 per role weekly into Greenhouse with scorecards. 9–15 warm candidates a week.
Senior QA on every submission. Weekly sync to tighten briefs from interview feedback.
"I was drowning in sourcing and losing candidates every week. Within 10 days of kickoff, Montazzo had loaded 11 warm candidates into Greenhouse across my three searches. Two of them are in final-round interviews now. This should have been obvious. I just didn't know a service like this existed."
Founder, boutique tech recruiting firm
Speed wasn't the only difference. Quality was. Every candidate was researched, scored, and confirmed interested before the founder saw them. Recruiters skipped re-screening and went straight to outreach.
Three reqs for $1,200/month, a fraction of one US sourcer. Working in the first week, not the first quarter.
