The Connector’s Approach to Talent
Our founder, Walter Bacon, is known across the industry as "The Connector." With a personality rooted in relentless optimism and a vast network within the Bay Area and beyond, Walter has built a reputation for seeing potential where others see keywords.

Results-Driven Recruitment
We function as a results-driven firm where my team and I won’t stop until we reach the goal for our clients. We recognize that startup software companies operate on compressed timelines where every day a key role remains vacant is a day of lost momentum. Our process is aggressive and thorough, ensuring that every candidate presented has been vetted not just for technical prowess, but for the "startup grit" required to thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
Specialized Expertise in AI and DevTools
The tech field is evolving at breakneck speed, particularly within the realms of Artificial Intelligence and Developer Tools. Generic tech recruitment agencies often fail to understand the technical nuance of these roles. We specialize in these niches, maintaining a pulse on the specific skill sets—from Machine Learning infrastructure to backend systems—that define the next generation of tech. We take immense satisfaction in finding and placing candidates who don't just meet the job description but fundamentally elevate the company’s trajectory.
