A startup team working together

The startup squeeze

You need senior output on a junior budget

Every founder we speak to is stuck in the same three places.

Hiring eats the quarter

Six weeks of sourcing and interviewing is six weeks you are not shipping. Momentum is the one thing you cannot buy back.

Runway punishes mistakes

A wrong full-time hire costs months of salary plus the time to unwind it. At your stage that is a strategy problem, not an HR one.

The role changes anyway

You hire for one job and pivot into another. You need people who reshape around the business rather than defend a job description.

7 days

From discovery call to a working team member, so a hire never blocks a sprint.

20 hrs

A week the average founder reclaims after handing over ops and admin.

0

Equity, benefits admin or long-term commitment attached to the hire.

Founder questions

Before you commit

How do I get started?

Simply book a free consultation with our team. We will share more about our services and learn about your hiring needs and how we can help. 

What happens on the discovery call?

The discovery call is an important step as part of running a highly tailored search process, very specific to your business and working style. During the call, we ask you a series of detailed questions to understand your exact requirements, company culture, team dynamics and what success actually looks like in your environment: communication style, technical requirements, growth potential and the subtle factors that decide whether someone will be a great fit. 

By the end of the call, we will have a very clear understanding of what the "right" candidate looks like and within two weeks, you'll receive your first shortlist of pre-vetted candidates, complete with video introductions, that match this profile. 

How does your pricing work?

RunRemote charges a one-time success fee for each hire. Based on typical onshore versus global salary savings, our fee is typically fully paid back with in six weeks of the candidate starting, with estimated salary savings of A$60k-$90k per hire, per year, depending on the seniority of the role

What if the fit is wrong?

We replace any hire who does not work out at no cost. Tell us early, we coach first, and if it still is not working we run the search again.
