Want to talk to them? Ask — we'll make the intro

We needed a senior ML engineer and had $160k to spend. Two job posts, six weeks, 400 résumés — nothing. HaaS ran the whole thing in 14 days: found people who weren't applying anywhere, interviewed them, and sent me 11 profiles with recordings. I spent 20 minutes on a brief and about two hours on calls. He starts Monday

Market standard is 90 days. Ours is six
Our economics
Why $10,000 — when agencies charge 20–25% of salary?
Because our economics are different, not the candidates

Traditional recruiters charge 20–25% because sourcing, screening and coordination are done by hand — one recruiter, one search

We built the infrastructure to do that work at scale. Our system searches 50+ sources and runs the first pass in parallel — it filters on stack, seniority and budget, not on how polished the résumé is. A polished AI-written CV earns no advantage, and a plain one costs nothing: if the person fits, we talk to them

Our team spends its time where humans matter: writing to candidates, talking to the people who pass and deciding who is actually worth putting in front of you

Same fee whether you hire a $120k engineer or a $220k engineer. That's why it's a flat $10,000 when you hire

Not cheaper candidates. A cheaper way to find them

Six years hiring engineers, built by engineers for engineering startups

Questions we hear on every call

Agencies forward whoever applied and charge 20–25%. We run the whole funnel — applying or not, 50+ sources — interview every candidate live, and charge a flat $10,000 with a 6-month guarantee instead of 90 days

We match your role against engineers we've already interviewed and verified. If there's a match, we pass them your JD — and whoever's interested comes back to you as a video profile for review. No campaign, no cost. If there's no match, your first campaign is free anyway

Yes — usually not in the US. Below the US market we have options abroad, including engineers you can keep on our payroll rather than yours. We'll show what's realistic on the call

You don't have to. It runs in a shared Slack channel that updates itself — stages, replies, candidates as cards. Check it between meetings or ignore it for a week; nothing there needs a reply until a candidate you like shows up. Then a 👍 books the interview. Not on Slack? Same flow by email or Telegram

Every invitation goes to a real person we identified. Every candidate passes a live interview with our team on camera, and we run deepfake detection on those calls

Because we're sure of the service. Six years hiring engineers, built by engineers for engineering startups. Doesn't work out within six months — we replace free

On request — a vetted senior engineer or domain expert for your technical rounds. Paid add-on; most clients don't need it

You do. Full IP assignment is in the contract, both formats

Country on a profile is a passport, not a location. We verify identity and employ through a compliant legal entity — clean paperwork is part of the product
