The short version: I run a boutique contingency recruitment shop called WhyHireWrong. I've been doing this solo for a while. I have a business with paying clients, a database full of sellable candidates, and more opportunity than I can chase alone. I need someone to do this with me, not for me.
This is not a job. There's no salary, no manager, no career ladder. This is a partnership. You invest your time, your network, and your brain. We split the revenue. If the business grows, we both win. If it doesn't, we both lose. That's the deal.
What you'd actually do:
- Bring in your own clients. You have relationships with founders, engineering leaders, or hiring managers who trust you. You open those doors and we close them together.
- Source and engage candidates. I have an ATS (Teamtailor). You'd work it like a pro. Find people, talk to them, sell them on opportunities.
- Use every tool available: AI, automation, LinkedIn, Apollo, whatever works. I want someone who instinctively reaches for the right tool instead of doing things manually.




- Build relationships with founders and hiring managers. The ICP is startup founders (seed to Series A). You need to be credible talking to technical founders about their hiring needs.
- Run outreach sequences that don't sound like recruiter spam. I have strong opinions about this. No "I hope this finds you well" garbage.
- Help me figure out where we go next. Which clients to chase, which candidates to cross-sell, which angles are dead. This is as much your business as mine.
Who you are:
- Well-connected in tech/startup/engineering circles. Not "I have 5000 LinkedIn connections" well-connected. I mean people actually take your calls. You can open client relationships, not just work on mine.
- Tech-savvy to the point where using an ATS, setting up automation, prompting LLMs, and managing a CRM feels natural, not like a chore.
- You've done recruitment or sales or founder-led growth before. Or you've hired people yourself and realised y
