Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right cursor developer
Watch them code live with Cursor. The skill difference between someone who truly leverages AI and someone who just accepts suggestions is night and day.
Test their ability to catch AI mistakes. Show them AI-generated code with subtle bugs or security issues and see if they spot them.
Ask about their Cursor configuration — custom rules, context files, and workflow optimizations. Power users have strong opinions about their setup.
Verify traditional engineering skills independently. AI-assisted speed means nothing if the developer cannot design systems or debug production issues.

Feedback from founders who hired through us
Keto Software

What we've delivered:
"Working with Herizon has been an absolute turning point for our hiring. They have already helped us successfully bring on board a Growth Marketing Manager and a RevOps Manager, and are now supporting us in finding the right AEs and a Partnership Development Manager. What sets Herizon apart is not only their deep understanding of every role in a revenue organization, but also their ability to truly grasp what we are looking for as if they were part of our own team. They don't just present candidates — they challenge our thinking, help us sort through priorities, and go deep with candidates to ensure we're meeting the right people. I couldn't recommend Herizon highly enough for any company looking to build out their revenue teams with the right people."
