Personal Letter to Startup Founders
Dear Founder,
I'm Vika, the founder of the VP Team. With 20 years of experience in recruiting for startups, I've had the privilege of building tech teams for renowned products like Grammarly, Ring, MacPaw, and many more
I understand the feelings and concerns you may have when it comes to working with a recruitment agency. That's why I want to provide you with a detailed FAQ below, which will give you a clear understanding of what to expect.
Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn if you have any additional questions or need assistance. I'll be more than happy to help.
FAQ
If you are a tech product company with a team size of 1-500 and are looking to hire skilled engineers or managers (with 4.5 years of experience or more) in Europe and LATAM, our team will provide the first relevant candidates within one week after the briefing. We have a strict niche and exclusively work with these positions.
The payment breakdown is as follows:
- First payment: $2,000. You will receive market analytics, a candidate persona description, a search strategy, pipeline development, and a job description within one week.
- Second payment: $2,000. Your vacancy will be promoted among 100-500 candidates. From this pool, we typically conduct 30-40 interviews and introduce 3-10 relevant candidates for you to consider extending an offer to.
- Final payment: is made once the specialist starts their first day of work. The total cost of hire, on average, is around $8,000.
On average, within 30-40 days (sometimes even earlier), you have the person who will add value to your business. This way, you don't have to spend your personal working time on recruitment operations.
During the first seven days:
- We will have a 30-minute introductory call to understand your requirements.
- We will provide a proposal on the same day as the call.
- Once you sign the contract and make the first payment, we will schedule a one-hour deep dive session with a recruiter.
- Next business day, you will receive the job description for your approval.
- We will provide you with the first set of relevant candidates.
