Build your core team.
Talent Diary is a startup-specialist recruitment partner. We embed with your team and own hiring end to end, so founders stay focused on the product.
Four ways we embed with your team
Not an agency at arm's length. A partner inside the room, owning the full hiring cycle alongside you.
Embedded Partnership
We join standups, learn your culture, meet your hiring managers, and become a true extension of your internal team, not an outsider throwing resumes over the fence.
Define the Role
We help you get crystal clear on who you need before hiring begins. We build the JD, set compensation benchmarks, and define candidate evaluation criteria.
Full Cycle Execution
From sourcing to interview facilitation to offer negotiation, we manage the entire process, so you stay focused on building your product.
A monthly retainer, no per-hire surprise
We charge a predictable monthly fee that replaces your unpredictable placement cost and aligns with your long-term hiring goals.
Simple, fixed-fee hiring support
Transparent pricing based on the number, level, and complexity of roles. No open-ended contingency percentages that balloon with salary.
What you get
TalentDiary works on a fixed-fee model for startups building their first teams. We structure pricing transparently around the number, level, and complexity of roles, instead of open-ended contingency percentages that change with salary.
- Complete cost visibility before hiring starts
- Aligned incentives: we focus on matching, not salary padding
- Cost-effective for hiring multiple core employees
- Flexible payment structures based on milestones
Tell us the role
A few lines on what you are hiring for. We come back fast with a fixed-fee plan, or grab a time and talk it through.
Let us build your hiring engine, so you can build your company.
One conversation about the role, the team, and what right looks like. We take it from there.
