Securing Founding-Level Tech Hires Ahead of Product Launch
A Bay Area technology startup preparing for an aggressive product launch needed to build its foundational engineering team. The roles were highly strategic and time-sensitive, requiring founding-level talent in a competitive market where top engineers and data scientists are heavily pursued.
Sigil applied a focused, persistent search strategy built on deep technical networks and creative candidate engagement and management techniques. The team prioritized high-caliber passive talent, managed accelerated interview processes, and supported offer negotiations for mission-critical roles. Searches in the ongoing partnership have included:
• Founding Engineers
• Software Engineers
• Data Scientists
• UX/UI Founding Engineer
Sigil has delivered four critical hires across Engineering, Data, and UX/UI, helping establish the core team responsible for bringing the client's platform to market.
“I’ve worked with Sigil across two companies, and they consistently go above and beyond. They take the time to understand exactly what I’m looking for and deliver strong candidates quickly. From kickoff through follow-ups, every step of the process has been professional and well-managed. For me, they are the gold standard of recruiting.”
