The Hiring Gap

Great hires don't come from a job board.

You know the role you need to fill. The problem was never knowing — it's that hiring well is a job in itself, and doing it yourself means months of distraction and a gamble at the end.

Sourcing is a second job

Writing the role, hunting candidates, screening a hundred resumes, running interviews. It eats the exact time you were trying to buy back.

You're gambling on strangers

No vetting system, no behavioral-fit data. You hire on a good interview and hope it holds up ninety days later.

The best people aren't applying

Top operators aren't scrolling job boards. They're found, approached, and vetted — which is exactly what a real search does.

What You Get

Done-for-you means done for you.

You hand us one brief. We run the entire search and deliver a shortlist you'd actually hire from. No job posts to write, no inbox to wade through, no bad hire to eat.

01

We run the whole search

Sourcing, outreach, screening, behavioral assessment, references. Off your plate entirely. You stay in the business while we find the person.

02

Vetted to your role

Not a database dump. Every candidate is scoped to your exact role and matched to how you work, then put through the bar that produces our Right Hands.

03

Backed by guarantees

You don't commit until you're excited about a candidate, and if a placement isn't right, we replace them. The risk is ours, not yours.

Beyond the Assistant

The key hires that move the business.

We're known for placing elite Right Hands. But founders keep asking us to find the rest of the team — so we do. We've run searches for operators, chiefs of staff, and specialists well beyond admin support.

Operations Manager Chief of Staff Customer Success Community Manager Project Manager Front-End Developer Back-End Developer Marketing & Content

Have a role that isn't on this list? Bring it to the call. If it's a fit for our pool, we'll tell you straight. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.

How It Works

You brief us once. We run the rest.

Four steps from "I need to hire someone" to a person you're glad you found.

1

Discovery & scope

A call to define the role, seniority, must-haves, and deal-breakers. You leave with a clear role definition and a target profile — whether or not you move forward.

2

Custom search

We source, screen, and behaviorally assess against your brief using the same Predictive Index framework behind every placement we make.

3

Curated shortlist

You get 3+ hand-picked candidates with profiles and intros. No resume pile. You interview only people who already cleared our bar.

4

You hire, we back it

You make the final call. We stand behind the placement with our matching and replacement guarantees.

The Filter

Only 1 in 1,000 makes it through. You meet only the ones who do.

The reason our shortlist is worth your time is the funnel behind it. We absorb the volume. You see the finalists.

What every candidate clears before they reach you

  • Behavioral fit to how you actually work, scored with the Predictive Index.
  • Skills and references verified before anyone lands on your shortlist.
  • Scoped to your exact role — sourced for this search, not pulled from a database.
  • Fluent English, time-zone aligned — ready to operate, not learn on your time.

Our Promise

The search is on us until it's right.

The Matching Guarantee

If we don't find someone you're genuinely excited about, you owe nothing further. We present 3+ hand-picked candidates. You interview and choose. If none feel right, you walk away.

The Replacement Guarantee

If a placement isn't the right fit, we replace them at no additional placement cost. You're never stuck with a hire that isn't working.

Common Questions

What founders ask before they start.

How much does it cost?+
Because every search is built around your specific role, seniority, and market, we scope pricing per engagement. On the discovery call we'll define the role and give you an exact, all-in number. No surprises, no obligation.
What roles do you fill?+
Operators, chiefs of staff, customer success, community managers, project managers, developers, and marketing. If you're not sure yours fits, bring it to the call and we'll tell you straight.
How long does it take?+
Days to a first shortlist for most roles, not the months a search normally takes. Specialized or senior roles take longer, and we'll set an honest timeline on the call.
How is this different from a staffing agency?+
Agencies fill reqs at volume. We run one search at a time, behaviorally matched to how you work, and stand behind it with guarantees. You only meet candidates who already cleared a sub-0.1% bar.
Who's behind this?+
The same team and vetting engine that's placed 100+ Right Hands with seven- and eight-figure founders. Co-founder Kasim Aslam built and exited Solutions 8, the #1 Google Ads agency worldwide. Ivan Bunin started as a Right Hand at 18 and grew into CTO through an 8-figure exit.
What if it doesn't work out?+
Matching and Replacement guarantees. You don't commit until you're excited about a candidate, and we replace a placement that isn't right at no additional placement cost.
