One Critical Role
Targeted search. Fast turnaround.

You have an urgent opening and need qualified candidates in front of you quickly. We move fast, communicate often, and only send people worth your time.

Multiple Roles Over Time
Ongoing partnership. Long-term support.

You're building out a team over months and need a recruiter who understands your business, not just the job description. We work alongside you for as long as you're hiring.

Placement types: Direct Hire Contract Contract-to-Hire
Contingency-based fees — you pay nothing unless we make the placement.

No spam. No guesswork.
Just the right people, faster.

We tell clients things their internal recruiters won't — including when a role is priced wrong, when the market has shifted, or when a candidate is about to accept another offer.

01
No Resume Spam

You receive 3–5 pre-screened candidates per search, not a stack of unread profiles. Every submission is someone we have spoken to and would stand behind.

02
Honest, Fast Communication

From intake call to accepted offer, you know exactly where things stand. We flag risks early and keep you informed through every stage of the search.

03
We Represent Your Brand

Candidates experience your company through us. We protect your reputation, present your opportunity compellingly, and make sure the people we send want to be there.

Most clients see a qualified
shortlist within 10 business days.

A structured search process that removes the guesswork and gets you back to work.

1
Intake Call

We learn your team, culture, comp range, must-haves, and dealbreakers — not just the job description.

2
Search & Screen

We source, interview, and vet candidates. You only see people who meet the bar — qualified and genuinely interested.

3
Shortlist Delivered

You receive a tight shortlist with our notes on each candidate — no fluff, just the context you need to make a decision.

4
Close & Support

We manage the offer process, handle negotiations, and stay engaged through the start date to protect the placement.

What people say after working with us.

Noah has remarkable talent for sourcing high-quality candidates who not only bring exceptional expertise but also align well with our startup team culture. He's relentless in finding strong candidates and helps us manage expectations throughout the hiring process. Because of Noah, we've been able to build a top-tier team — and remain sane while doing it.
Matt S.
VP of Operations & CX, Software Startup
I don't write many of these, but Brennen earned it. His ability to connect technical talent with extraordinary workplaces is exceptional, driven in no small part by his genuine, affable nature and the lasting professional relationships he builds wherever he goes. What impresses me most is his diligence and integrity. Brennen brings a transparency and forthrightness that can make a real difference during tough searches. Working with him was a genuine pleasure, and I can't recommend his services enough.
Peter K.
Engineering Manager
I was introduced to Brennen after struggling to find quality candidates for seasoned Manufacturing Engineers. After the initial call where we discussed the job description and nuances of the position, he quickly provided numerous candidates over the course of several weeks, which culminated in hiring two people. Most significant to the process is Brennen's communication skills, his ability to unearth candidates, dedication to his craft, and his professionalism, all of which are extraordinary. Regardless of your hiring challenges, I'm confident Brennen can bring value to your organization.
John J.
Director of Engineering
I had the pleasure of working with Noah during a recent search, and I can't recommend him and Together for Talent enough. From the start, he was thoughtful, responsive, and truly invested in understanding our needs and the type of candidate who would be successful within our team and culture. Noah brought us strong candidates quickly and was an excellent partner throughout the process. He is communicative, organized, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure things moved smoothly. His professionalism and positive attitude made the entire experience seamless.
