What We Do

You deserve a recruiting partner who works as hard as you do. With our specialized approach and deep understanding of the startup environment, we leave nothing on the table to help young companies fill essential roles in leadership and beyond.

Leadership Search

We're built for founders and visionaries. By combining highly experienced recruiters, extensive market knowledge, and an entrepreneurial spirit, we put a refreshing spin on executive search that understands the startup environment and what it takes to draw leaders into it.

Team Builds

Our flexible subscription service provides ongoing recruiting support for critical roles beyond your senior leadership team. We’ll scale to your size and recruiting strategy, tracking down essential hires for positions across your organization as needed.

Our Expertise

We’ve partnered with top startups across AI/ML, healthtech, fintech, marketplace, semiconductor, and enterprise software—B2B, B2C, and everything in between. From building engineering orgs at Wherobots and Radical AI, to scaling product at Fusion Health, GoFundMe, and Rho, to placing deep tech engineers and scientists at EUV Tech, we’ve helped companies hire teams that move fast and scale with confidence. Whether it’s a founding engineer, VP of Product, or materials scientist, we know how to find technical talent that builds for impact.

  • We’ve built product teams for some of the most ambitious early-stage startups—from Seed to Series B. Whether you need a hands-on Product Manager to shape your roadmap or a VP to lead your product vision, we know how to find product leaders who can execute at startup speed and scale. Our track record includes placements at companies like Fusion Health, GoFundMe, Tresle AI, and Wherobots.

  • From founding engineers to VPs of Engineering, we help startups build the technical core that drives their growth. We’ve placed backend and frontend engineers, DevOps leads, data and ML engineers, and engineering leaders across a wide range of tech and deep tech domains. Our expertise spans software development, infrastructure, cloud, and complex systems—supporting companies from early builds at Connectly AI and Radical AI to team scaling at Wherobots, GoFundMe, and ZeroTier.

  • We support companies until the moment they’re ready to build their own internal HR or recruiting function—and even help them make those hires. Our team has placed HR leaders, recruiters, and people ops at both early- and growth-stage companies, including Pearson, Hologic, and EUV Tech. Whether you're hiring your first HR generalist or building out a full People function, we can guide you every step of the way.

Michelle Day, Hologic VP of HR

I am tremendously grateful for the exceptional partnership with the Sclarr People team for our HR leadership search at Hologic. Throughout the last year, they consistently delivered outstanding results in the HR searches we have worked on together. The depth of experience, both in-house and in search, has created a valuable partnership that I have not experienced with other search firms. I recommend the Sclarr People team for anyone seeking expertise in HR and/or Talent Leadership searches
