Built by Operators, for Operators
We built what we wished existed when we were scaling startups ourselves.
From Startup Operator to Recruiting Innovator
I spent a decade in startup operations, hiring hundreds of people across sales, engineering, and AI teams. I saw what worked and what didn't.
Traditional agencies? Slow, expensive, and often misaligned. RPOs? Too rigid for startup pace. Internal recruiters? Great, but hard to scale during hiring sprints.
So I built Recruits Lab—elite startup recruiters who specialize in Sales + AI/ML for Life Sciences & Technology. We offer two models: subscription for flexibility and control, or contingency for pay-on-results simplicity. You choose what fits your situation.
The mission: give founders access to elite recruiting firepower—without the overhead, without the lock-in, on their terms.
Our Mission
Reduce burn, accelerate hiring, and give every startup founder access to elite recruiting firepower without the overhead of agencies or internal teams.
How We Operate
Startup Speed
We move at founder pace. Same-week starts, 14-day average time-to-hire, real-time communication.
Precision Over Volume
Quality candidates, not resume floods. Every submission is pre-vetted and culture-fit assessed.
Radical Transparency
Clear pricing. Weekly progress reports. No hidden fees. You know exactly what you're paying for, whether weekly or contingent.
Operator Mindset
We think like founders because we've been founders. We know what it's like to have three open reqs and zero pipeline.
Why Sales + AI/ML for Life Sciences & Tech?
Sales Recruiting
Sales hiring is where startups live or die. The wrong VP Sales can burn 6 months and $500K. The right SDR team can 10x your pipeline.
We've placed 200+ sales hires across Life Sciences and Tech.
AI/ML Recruiting
ML talent is scarce and technical vetting is hard. Generalist recruiters can't distinguish between a Kaggle hobbyist and a production ML engineer.
Our ML recruiters have technical backgrounds and deep networks.
Life Sciences
Biotech and medtech need people who understand FDA, KOL selling, and the long sales cycles. Cookie-cutter tech recruiters don't cut it.
We specialize in commercial roles for therapeutic companies.
Technology Startups
Speed matters. Culture fit matters. Equity story matters. We recruit for startups who need people ready to build, not coast.
From seed to Series C, we've helped 100+ tech startups scale.
