Every search is a moment.
We meet it.
We are matchmakers for founders, operators, and venture-backed teams. Every search is cast fresh, from the director to the crew.
- AI casting desks in the lab
- A Pana director on every search
- No success fees, ever
No success feePlacement fees pay for a close. You need a match.
Paid when you hire, so speed beats fit.
A contingency fee rewards the fastest yes, and the search behind your shortlist stays out of sight.
Software that tracks a search nobody is running.
An ATS, a sourcing tool, an AI add-on. They organize a pipeline. None of them studies your market or writes to a person.
A full-time recruiter before the plan is set.
Months to ramp, a salary to carry, and one person standing between you and your most important hires.
One studio. The whole search. No success fee, ever.
A success fee pays for any hire, so it rewards the fastest one. We never charge one. You pay a fixed fee or a retainer, and the only thing we chase is the right match.
Then you watch us earn it: directors powering an AI engine on every search, with the curated talent pool, every note, and every screen live in one hub you can open at any hour.
What we cut. What we add.
- Agency fees of 20 to 30% on every hire, plus retainer or container fees
- A full-time salary before the plan is set
- An ATS tracking a search nobody runs
- Sourcing tools that never write to a person
- AI add-ons with no one directing them
You keep the fee, the licenses, and the salary.
- Bespoke curators who learn how your team works
- An AI engine built on how we recruit
- A pool cast fresh for this role
- Every take, live in one hub
- A director pulling every string
You get a studio it would take years to build in house.
Nothing on the hire.
