Overview
Techy Recruiter embeds specialized talent acquisition support into startup and scale-up teams, managing the full hiring function on a monthly retainer. In addition to embedded recruitment, it offers Sourcing as a Service to build targeted candidate pipelines for hard-to-fill roles and Hiring Process Design to audit and reconfigure recruitment frameworks, including interview processes and ATS setup. The service uses a dedicated recruiter who handles everything from defining roles to extending offers, augmented by AI-powered screening and automation to speed and improve the process. What sets Techy Recruiter apart is its true integration with client teams and its focus on tech startups (Web3, fintech, SaaS) across Europe and parts of the Middle East, combining hands-on recruitment with modern tooling to deliver end-to-end hiring. The company’s goal is to help funded startups hire quickly and effectively at scale by building and maintaining robust hiring functions and pipelines.
