Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right recruiter
Ask them to source 5 candidates for one of your open roles in 30 minutes during the interview. Watch their search strategy and quality assessment.
Test their ability to sell your company. Have them pitch your startup to you as if you were a passive candidate. Enthusiasm and storytelling matter.
Look for data-driven habits. Recruiters who track their own metrics (response rates, conversion rates) consistently outperform those who do not.
Check their candidate experience philosophy. Bad candidate experience damages your employer brand — the recruiter is your front line.

Feedback from founders who hired through us
Keto Software
€1.7M ARR startup • Hired 4+ positions • Focus on European expansion hires
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."
"Found people who actually understand the problem. They're from regions where sustainability challenges are real and motivation to solve them is high."
