Startup Hiring Specialists

Cross-functional hiring for funded startups — Series A and beyond

Digitive helps funded startups build teams across every function and seniority, from operational roles to executive leadership. We source and vet talent so you can scale the whole organization — not just engineering — as your company grows.

Why startup hiring is different

Funded startups hire under conditions established companies rarely face: lean internal recruiting, fast-moving priorities, and role requirements that change as the business scales. Digitive works as an embedded hiring partner built for that reality.

Limited internal recruiting bandwidth while several roles open at once
Building whole functions, not just filling isolated vacancies
Role requirements that shift as the company moves between stages
Balancing specialist individual contributors with early leadership hires
The outsized cost of a wrong hire on a small, fast-moving team
Reaching talent beyond a single local market

Hiring through Series A, B and growth

Our focus is funded startups from Series A onward. Hiring needs evolve at each stage, and we adapt sourcing and engagement accordingly.

Series A

The shift from founding team to an organization — first key functional hires, senior individual contributors and your first managers across engineering, GTM and operations.

Series B

Scaling several functions at once — leadership and early executive hires, plus the repeatable hiring approach needed to support faster growth.

Growth-stage

Deepening teams and specialized roles as the organization matures, with executive and functional leadership hires to run each part of the business.

Hiring across every function — not just engineers
