Superposition for Series A Startups
The key hires that will define your next 18 months — without the 30% retained fee.
Series A is when the hiring bill comes due
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
At Series A, you're hiring your Head of Engineering, Head of Sales, senior individual contributors, and maybe a first finance or ops leader. Each one is a multi-month search at $30K–$60K if you use retained recruiters.
Meanwhile, you're also hiring 10+ engineers and designers to hit the growth milestones you raised against. If you run every search through retained search or traditional agencies, you'll burn a seven-figure hiring bill in year one.
You need a sourcing system that works for both high-volume individual-contributor hiring and lower-volume leadership searches.
How Superposition works for Series A
Leadership + IC in one system
Same agent, same intake quality, for both Head-of roles and senior engineer roles.
Stage-matched leaders
We source leaders who've operated at your stage — not VPs from 500-person orgs who need a team to be effective.
No retained fees
$500/agent/month. Keep the $30K+ retained fee for milestones, not sourcing.
Scales with open reqs
Spin up as many parallel agents as you have open roles. Sourcing capacity scales with you.
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.
