How it works

A Search Process Built for How Startups Actually Work.

No 12-week retained retainers with nothing to show for week 8. Our process is built around your velocity - not ours.

Founder-led

Pakistan HQ

LATAM GTM

Market depth

Two talent markets. One senior hiring standard.

Flex Recruit combines Pakistan engineering depth with LATAM GTM alignment, then filters both through founder-led assessment.

Pakistan

Engineering at scale

HQ advantage, university networks, senior technical depth, and strong EU overlap.

Latin America

GTM velocity

US time-zone alignment for sales, customer success, marketing, and solutions roles.

4-6

shortlist

Carefully assessed candidates with written context, priorities, and the questions your team should probe.

Process

From working brief to 90-day check-in.

Days 1-2

The Brief

A 45-minute working session maps the role, team context, technical or functional requirements, and the 1% criteria that separates a good candidate from the right one.

Days 2-5

Market Mapping

We map who exists, where they are, who is likely to move, and what compensation reality looks like before outreach begins.

Days 5-14

Search & Assessment

Referral-first outreach through relationships, followed by structured assessment for depth, startup mindset, culture alignment, and trajectory.

Week 2

The Shortlist

You receive 4-6 candidates with written assessments, priorities, and the questions to probe in your conversations.

Weeks 3-5

Interviews & Offer

We coordinate the interview process, advise on offer structure, manage expectations, and handle negotiation with care.

First 30-90 days

Close & Onboarding Support

We stay in contact through notice period, start date, and early onboarding so the search is finished when the hire is landing well.

Typical timelines

Fast where speed helps. Patient where judgment matters.

Engineering Hire

First shortlist in 10-14 days. Offer accepted in 3-5 weeks.

GTM Hire

First shortlist in 7-10 days. Market talent tends to move fast.

Leadership Hire

4-8 weeks. Done in 6 weeks beats done wrong in 3.

FAQ

A few things worth clarifying early.

No. Our team is based in Pakistan, and that is where we have the deepest engineering network, but we actively recruit across Latin America for GTM roles and can place candidates across both markets.
