We're a 250-person team of recruiters, executive-search consultants, sourcers, data scientists and engineers who believe hiring is too important to do badly. Since 2018 we've built a firm where good people own real outcomes — and get paid like it.
Recruiting is a job people leave when the desk feels like a treadmill. We built the opposite: real ownership, real tools, and comp that isn't capped when you outperform.
You run your own desk and your own client relationships from day one. No pods where credit disappears — the searches you win are yours to keep.
You work on our own Talent Analytics platform and Compensation Intelligence data — live salary benchmarks, pipeline analytics and sourcing automation most firms can only dream of.
Published commission tiers, no clawbacks, no surprises. Top performers routinely double base. If you bill it, you earn it — every quarter.
Work from New York, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Boston, Atlanta or Philadelphia — most roles are hybrid, several are fully remote.
Medical, dental and vision with the majority of premiums covered, a 401(k) match, generous PTO, and paid parental leave for every parent.
Every new hire is paired with a senior consultant, joins a monthly craft cohort, and gets a documented path from associate to partner. We promote from within first.
We hire adults, give them the context and the tools, and get out of the way. Culture here isn't ping-pong tables — it's trust, craft, and the freedom to do your best work.
Recruiting is a people business, and we treat our own people the way we ask them to treat candidates: with honesty and respect. That means real feedback, transparent numbers, and managers who coach instead of micromanage. When someone on the team wins a hard search, the whole office hears about it.
We've been remote-friendly since long before it was fashionable. Our nine offices are hubs, not requirements — teams meet in person for kickoffs, quarterly reviews and the occasional celebration, but the day-to-day is yours to structure. Output matters here, not hours logged.
Because we build our own software, recruiters and engineers sit close together. Feedback from a sourcer in Austin can ship in the product within a sprint. That tight loop is why our tooling actually reflects the work — and why the people who use it feel heard.
We take diversity seriously, not as a slogan but as a discipline: structured interviews, blind resume review where it helps, and pay bands we can defend with data. We're an equal-opportunity employer, and we measure whether we're living up to it.
A rushed placement is a failed placement waiting to happen. We reward the work done right over the shortcut that looks fast.
To candidates, to clients, to each other. Uncomfortable truth beats comfortable spin, every time.
See a problem, own the fix. We'd rather ask forgiveness than watch things break waiting for permission.
We move quickly and we respect your time. You'll always know where you stand and who you'll meet next. Every candidate gets a decision — we never ghost.
A 30-minute conversation with our talent team about your background, what you're looking for, and how the role actually works. Two-way from the start.
A practical exercise tailored to the role — a mock candidate call, a sourcing challenge, or a live data problem. Real work, not brain-teasers.
You'll spend time with your future manager and two or three teammates, in person where possible. This is where mutual fit gets decided.
A transparent, written offer with comp tiers spelled out. We answer every question before you sign and give you room to decide.
Great work needs a stable base. Every full-time Crimson employee gets the following from their first day — no waiting periods.
Premium PPO and HDHP options for you and dependents, with Crimson covering the majority of premiums.
Dollar-for-dollar match up to 4% of salary, vested immediately, with low-fee index fund options.
Flexible paid time off, ten paid holidays, plus a firm-wide winter recess between Christmas and New Year.
Sixteen weeks of fully paid leave for every new parent — birth, adoption or foster placement.
$2,500 a year for courses, certifications, conferences and books — plus paid time to use it.
A monthly stipend for gym, therapy, or whatever keeps you well — plus access to mental-health resources.
A top-spec laptop, monitor and a home-office budget so your setup works wherever you do.
Nine well-stocked offices with commuter benefits, catered team days, and a desk waiting whenever you want one.
Eight open searches across teams and offices. Don't see an exact match? We're always glad to hear from strong people — reach out anyway.
If you're excellent at what you do and any of this resonates, we want to talk — even if none of the roles above are an exact match. Tell us about yourself.
