finders9. is a talent team for founders who are building something big. We pair human judgment with AI, so you can hire faster and better, without the corporate overhead.
We don’t send you 40 resumes and hope something sticks.
We don’t write handbooks no one reads.
We don’t call people “resources.”
We do fewer things, and do them better. Every candidate on our shortlist is there for a reason, and every process we build is designed for a team of 15, not 1,500.
Key roles, filled right.
Tech, product, go-to-market and your first leadership hires. We look for people who can take your company to the next stage. You get a shortlist, and for every candidate a clear rationale: why them, why now and what to watch out for.
Your first recruiter, no headcount needed.
Just closed a round and need to fill a dozen roles? We join your team as your first hiring lead.
Minimum fuss, maximum clarity.
We set up the essentials in a few weeks, AI-first and without overengineering. We come in, build it and step back, leaving you with a system that actually works.
When you need an extra pair of hands.
One stage of a hiring process, a process audit, a tough conversation or a new manager’s first weeks. We’re there when you need us, with no long-term commitment.
AI handles research, sourcing, briefs and interview summaries, so we can spend our time where it counts: assessing people, talking to them and helping you make the call.
You’re growing fast. Your team is your biggest risk and your biggest edge, and HR is the last thing you have time for.
Your portfolio companies need people faster than they can find them. We step in where growth most often stalls.
New projects, practical tips and a peek behind the scenes. We only hit send when it’s worth your time.
