Company Description
Coastal Recruiting is a boutique recruitment partner specializing in zero-to-one engineering, product, and GTM hires for early-stage, VC-backed startups. Founded and run by former founders and startup-obsessed recruiters, the team brings 15+ years of experience and has focused the last five years exclusively on hyper-growth Seed and Series A companies, placing 500+ technical candidates in that time. Coastal’s white-glove approach centers on rapid calibration to a founder’s ideal candidate profile, crafting compelling narratives that attract elite talent, and running a high-communication process from kickoff through negotiation and close. Their core expertise spans software development, AI/ML and data science, infrastructure, full-stack, and product leadership, as well as select executive and commercial roles such as VP of Sales. The firm partners with more than 30 elite early-stage investors, including Lightspeed, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Foundation Capital, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, Ribbit Capital, Delphi Digital, and The Cannon Project, and has supported portfolio hiring across standout startups like beehiiv, Factory, Rabbit, Tennr, Blockaid, dYdX, Mysten Labs, and others. Coastal’s pricing is straightforward and founder-friendly: a 25% placement fee on first-year base salary, no upfront payments, and no fee on equity or bonus, with a free replacement if a placed candidate departs within the guarantee period. Beyond core search, Coastal operates an Executive AI Advisory Talent Platform that connects top-tier AI and ML leaders with innovative startups and venture funds, enabling advisory relationships and talent benches that accelerate product velocity and organizational learning. For candidates, Coastal provides end-to-end support—from interview prep to post-offer follow-up—prioritizing role fit, communication, and an exceptional experience that benefits both talent and founders.
