Heart Mind Talent

Embedded recruitment for AI startup teams

Overview

Heart Mind Talent embeds recruiters into a startup’s team to build foundational AI and technical squads, offering end-to-end hiring through three services: Embedded recruitment for scaling teams, Headhunting for senior roles, and Recruitment Ops to design hiring processes. Its model works by integrating the firm’s recruiters with the client’s tools and email domain, acting as an in-house talent department with time-based pricing. Led by Lital Zigelboim, who previously built Waze and WhatsApp engineering teams, the firm leverages a track record of scaling hyper-growth organizations and placing founders, engineers, researchers, and product leaders across Europe, the U.S., and the Middle East. The goal is to help startups quickly scale with high-quality talent, especially in AI, while maintaining strong client retention and outcomes like acquisitions of client companies.
