You are headhunting for a leader who inspires confidence
When you’re making high-trust hires, we work alongside you to create and execute a plan to find the most suitable leader for your team. Beginning with a review of your objectives, we draft a market analysis, craft your messaging, and engage a curated cohort of executives in confidential, exploratory conversations. We tackle executive searches with an agile approach; emphasizing iteration, adaptation, and transparency with a commitment to quality until you’ve found the candidate who leaves no room for doubt.
-
You are scaling operations and want to plug in an experienced talent team
Whether you need a complete talent attraction strategy or just some help with a sticky search, we become part of your team. We onboard into your workspace, get to know your culture, and absorb your talent challenges from start to finish. Our approach is flexible: we work with your existing processes or help set up new ones. Depending on our availability and your unique needs, you can collaborate with our talent partners on either a full-time or part-time basis.
-
You have established hiring processes and variable needs
Similar to the traditional search agency model, we offer you the option to only pay for successful placements. This is often the best option when you have established hiring processes, and/or want to work with a handful of search groups simultaneously. We establish a flat fee that reflects your target salary range and is consistent with industry rates. Choose between a 3-month full-credit guarantee or pay-as-you-go based on the employee’s tenure.
-
You have ambitious hiring goals and are looking for sustainable unit economics
This model involves a monthly retainer that’s complemented by reduced success fees and is most suitable for clients with ambitious hiring goals and those looking for continued support following a fully embedded engagement. Our level of integration with your team, workspace, and processes is tailored to align with your preferences and policy constraints. The result is a reduction in cost-per-hire and consistent support that accommodates fluid hiring goals.
Diverse capability
Building enduring teams across your business
Executives
Headhunting for high-trust roles comes with risk and requires the care to match. Our lived experiences with nuanced executive hiring processes and their consequences equip us to position your business and navigate the tough questions executives ask. When making such pivotal decisions you ought to have a talent partner who can represent you competently and, when needed, confidentially.
Research & Development
Our practice and careers began with technical recruitment. We have worked alongside engineering, product, and design teams, immersed ourselves in their world and we speak their language. We don’t rely on keywords. The relationships we’ve built have taught us how to empathize with the humans behind the skillset. When building your technical teams you ought to have a partner capable of understanding the problems you are solving and what matters to the people you’re going to solve them with.
Go-To-Market
We understand the difficulty in separating good from great in go-to-market talent pools. Our experiences have shown us how to design revealing and predictive hiring processes that spot the outliers early. Our relationships have revealed where great talent is minted and why they move on. When searching for the skills that monetize innovation, you ought to have a partner who can help you dig into your candidates’ style, market alignment, and previous results.
Operations
We are operators and our practice has been shaped in close collaboration with venture operations teams. With burgeoning networks in the finance, legal, facilities, and people operations talent pools, we bring you the even-keeled professionals that businesses need to go the distance. When operations are done well, it looks easy. Your search for operations talent ought to look easy too.
The recruiters you’ve been looking for
-
Lutra combines lessons learned from leading talent for a venture-funded scale-up and decades of tech sector headhunting to help our clients build world-class teams. We have experienced the talent market and the challenges of team building like few others.
-
From pre-revenue to cash-flow positivity, and from SDR to CTO, we’ve done it. We deploy the strategy that works for the role being filled. We bring the tactics and communication habits that delight hiring managers and candidates. Save yourself the uncertainty; partner with a team that’s been there before.
-
Our experience has taught us that candidates are not just potential hires but key brand advocates or detractors. We operate with reverence of this responsibility, taking great care in how we handle outreach, interviews, offers and rejections alike. We help turn candidates into brand evangelists.
-
We understand the opportunity cost of interviews - for both parties. Leaning on our industry fluency and experience facilitating thousands of interviews, we are selective in the candidates we engage and advance. This means refined shortlists, streamlined searches, and time left for you to think big.
