Why start-ups need external headhunters for AI hires in 2025.

No one’s saying it, so I will:

“We’re hiring” is not a strategy. It’s a hope.

Wishful thinking. A dream.

Founders — posting a job and crossing your fingers isn’t recruiting.

It’s passive. It’s reactive. 

And it’s why your roles stay open for 42+ days on average (and often much longer without a headhunter).

Top candidates?

They’re not applying.

They’re being hunted….

By people like me.

➡️ If your strategy is “wait and see who applies,”

don’t be shocked when the wrong ones show up — or the right ones never do.

🚀 Know exactly who you need

💫 Skip the flood of unqualified inbound

😍 Let a headhunter hunt

Let’s state the obvious, high-performers aren’t and never have been scrolling job boards.

They’re already winning somewhere else — until someone better comes along.

👋 That’s where I come in, to hunt, secure talent and help get the job done…
