Sharp Search partners
We connect startups with engineering, data, and product leaders to build, scale, and launch products through partnerships to drive success at every stage of growth
Principles
At Sharp, we prioritize tangible results for your business and career. Eschewing empty promises and mismatches, we focus on what truly matters - identifying the ideal candidate who aligns with your company's stage and aspirations, ensuring a mutually beneficial outcome
No Nonsense
Every search, every candidate's needs are distinct. We offer targeted solutions for problems we can effectively address and are upfront when we can't. We aim to deliver meaningful results, not to flood your inbox with mediocre resumes or blindly accept orders. If you're seeking a transactional firm, we're probably not your best match
Transparent Process
We share every detail of the search process with you. No black book of contacts that we pass around town. Not only will you see the shortlist build, but we will work together to steer the search if necessary.
Every Conversation Counts
To initiate a meaningful conversation, we begin with a professionally conducted cold call or a personalized email crafted just for you. During the discovery process, we identify the problem and its root cause. Embracing honesty and simplicity, we determine the next step together, whether that's immediate collaboration or waiting for the right moment.
No Runaround. Just Results.
We partner with founders and leaders focused on success and growth. While their TA teams excel at everyday hiring, they often struggle with the complexities of identifying, attracting, and retaining exceptional individuals for critical roles. That’s where we come in.
Scale with Sharp
Growing a tech company is tough, and hiring is just one of many obstacles. Most times, it may not even be a priority. At Sharp, we don't disrupt what's already working for you. Instead, we partner with you to provide consistent access to top-tier talent and to tackle crucial hires.
Specialized Recruitment
We focus exclusively on engineering, data, and product professionals involved in product development or go-to-market—critical hires that drive innovation and growth.
Rigorous Search Methodology
No easy shortlist of active candidates or recycled contacts – We headhunt, carrying out a thorough, systematic assessment process that leaves no stone unturned.
Committed to Results
We uncover and unlock every search and conversation to provide insights you need to make decisions. Our commitment is to work with you until we reach a result.
High-Caliber Standard
Every day, we talk to people in identical roles with purpose and structure to distinguish top performers from those outside the top 20%.
Key Roles at Every Stage
We focus on filling critical and hard-to-fill roles that drive your product lifecycle—from R&D and development to go-to-market and leadership. These include Full-Stack Engineers, ML Engineers, and DevOps professionals who build the foundation, as well as Product Managers and Product Marketing Managers who bring products to market and ensure their success.
