Tired of the Same Old Recruitment Routine?

If you’ve been recruiting in the corporate world or as an agency recruiter, you know the game. But here’s the truth: recruiting for startups is an entirely different beast. It’s not just about filling roles—it's about finding the right people to fuel innovation, solve massive problems, and scale a business from the ground up. And that’s exactly what this course is designed to help you do.

You’re about to discover how you can become the go-to recruiter for the most exciting, fast-growing startups around, even if you’ve never recruited for one before.

Here’s What You’re Up Against (And How This Course Can Help)

Corporate and agency recruiters face a unique set of challenges when they try to break into the world of tech startups.

Sound familiar?

• You’ve mastered corporate recruiting, but you’re unsure how to adapt your skills to a startup environment, where speed, agility, and resourcefulness matter more than a big budget.
• You’ve tried learning on your own, but navigating startup compensation structures like equity and stock options feels confusing and risky.

That’s where How to Recruit for Tech Startups comes in.

Why Corporate Recruiters Struggle with Startup Hiring

If you’ve recruited for traditional companies, you know the process. But in the fast-moving, ever-changing world of tech startups, everything is different.

• You’re not just hiring employees—you’re building the future.
  You need to find people who will thrive in uncertainty, work closely with startup founders, and embrace the company’s vision of rapid growth.
• Base salary? It’s not the priority.
  Startups are all about equity. This is your candidate’s ticket to exponential wealth. Forget the traditional compensation models—your ability to sell the vision of equity is what sets startup recruiting apart.
• Founders are hands-on—and they talk differently.
  Engineers and startup founders care about more than just resumes. They want to know that their team members are problem solvers who are invested in the mission. You need to speak their language, understand their mindset, and match them with the right talent.

If you want to thrive as a recruiter in this space, you need to think like a startup.
