Superposition for Non-Technical Founders
Hiring engineers when you can't out-interview them.
The hardest hire is the one you can't evaluate
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
Hiring your first technical leader is brutal when you're non-technical. You can't grade the code sample. You can't tell whether the architecture answer is deep or hand-wavy. You're relying on gut feel and reference calls.
Traditional recruiters don't help — they're non-technical too. They send you candidates that pattern-match the job description, and you end up spending hundreds of hours on calls hoping one clicks.
“Superposition sourced my CTO from start to finish with no human in the loop, and it really did find our needle in the haystack.”
How Superposition works for non-technical founders
Technical screen, built in
Our agent evaluates code, architecture writing, and open source work before candidates reach you.
Translation layer
Our voice intake translates your product vision into technical requirements — so we know what kind of engineer actually fits.
Proven for CTO searches
ESAI's non-technical CEO hired her Head of Engineering in 8 weeks via Superposition. 18,410 candidates, 28 matches, one signed offer.
You stay in control
You make the final call. We make sure the people reaching you are worth your interview time.
Questions.
Answered.
Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.
$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.
Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
