Startup recruiting by industry
Crucial Recruiting works across eight sectors, and the differences between them are not cosmetic. The roles that are hard to fill, the places those people actually work, and the reason searches stall are specific to each one. These pages set out what we have learned hiring in each sector, including where we would tell you not to bother with outside help.
Every engagement runs the same way regardless of sector: a named recruiter working inside your startup team and your ATS, on a flat monthly fee with no placement fees. What changes by industry is where we look and what we screen for.
