Companies we've worked with
Senior recruiting embedded into your team — fractionally. No bloated fees, no misaligned incentives. Just great hires.
We are a fractional recruiting agency built for startups and growth-stage companies across North America — bringing senior-level talent acquisition expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
With 13+ years of experience in technical recruiting, we've worked inside the hiring cycles of startups from seed through Series D and beyond. We know what great looks like — and we know how to find it.
We embed directly into your team, learn your culture, and stay aligned with your goals from first search to accepted offer. No agency markup. No resume dumps. No misaligned incentives.
Hiring across the US and Canada.
We've hired across engineering, product, and go-to-market roles for companies at every stage — from founding teams to hyper-growth. Our clients range from AI-native startups to enterprise software platforms.
Traditional contingency agencies charge 15–25% of a hire's first-year salary — incentivized to close fast, not close right. Fractional recruiting is fundamentally different: you pay for the work, not the placement.

The cost difference is real. Contingency agencies typically run $20K–$50K+ per mid-senior hire. A fractional engagement through Studiohire.me can bring that down significantly — while giving you a recruiter embedded in your environment, aligned with your goals, and incentivized to get it right.
