We build the team that builds your company.
Heart Mind Talent are specialist recruiters for foundational tech teams. We hire foundational tech and AI teams for startups — your first engineers, technical leads, CTOs, PMs, Research Scientists and FDEs. The people who build the product and set the culture that everyone who comes after will inherit.
A hiring team that hits the ground running.
We embed in your company, learn your stack, your culture, and the specific profile of person who will thrive in your environment — then we take full ownership of finding and closing them. No hand-holding required. No back-and-forth on briefs. Just the right people, in the right seats, as soon as possible.
The best talent acquisition team inside your company.
A full hiring engine — strategy, sourcing, screening, offers — operating under your brand, your standards, your ATS. Priced on time, not heads.
Senior searches, when you need a specific someone.
Founding engineers, VPs, GTM leaders. We map the market end-to-end, not just LinkedIn — and we go far beyond résumés.
The hiring system, calibrated for the stage you're in.
Comp benchmarking, interview design, scorecards, EOR strategy — the unglamorous infrastructure that makes hiring repeatable.
Elite teams. Faster wins. For the founders building the future.
The same calibre of talent — at the right cost.
We've hired across Europe, the US and the Middle East, with an excellent talent network in each. With tech compensation soaring in North America and Israel, we help startups find the same level of talent in Europe — often at a meaningfully lower cost.
Europe.
London, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich, Lisbon, Copenhagen. The deepest network we operate — frontier AI, deep-tech, infra. The right hire at a stronger price point than US or Israeli equivalents.
United States.
Founding teams, senior search, and executive hires across NYC, SF and Boston. We work the network we've built across frontier labs and the top product companies.
Middle East.
Tel Aviv and the wider Israeli tech ecosystem. Roots from our founder's career at WhatsApp and Waze — and the relationships we've kept warm with the engineers behind them.
The funds backing the next generation send their portfolio to us.
When a portfolio company needs to hire — fast, senior, and right — these are the funds that pick up the phone and put their founders in touch with HMT.
Senior operators
who've already done it.
Our team are senior recruiters who have built and scaled teams inside the world's top tech companies and fastest-growing startups. We know what great looks like at every level, because we've hired it before.
We've hired top AI engineers and researchers from Google, DeepMind, Meta and the leading startups defining the frontier. We know how to find them — because we've already placed them.
