Our Results Speak For Themselves

  • Zach Berke

    Zach Berke

    CEO, Exygy Benefit Corp

    Résumé Shovel is straight up the dopest recruiting firm. They're not your typical shady headhunters, just good honest folks who provide by-the-hour recruiting services.

  • Oren Teich

    Oren Teich

    VP Product Management, Heroku

    We're very selective. After one conversation with Michael he sent me just one resume that he thought would be a good fit. Less than a month later the position was filled. Michael knew exactly what we were looking for, and didn't waste a single minute of our time in the process.

  • Chris Hicken

    Chris Hicken

    President & COO, UserTesting.com

    When we began working with Michael, we had a fuzzy vision of the position we wanted to hire. Michael took our requirements and started funneling applicants to us that met our needs, which helped us quickly identify the right type of person to hire. The result: two exceptional hires instead of the one we had originally planned for.

  • Matt Flannery

    Matt Flannery

    CEO, Kiva

    Michael gets things done fast. He’s a great listener, understands the needs and culture of our organization, and fits into our team very well. He has helped us fill positions faster — and with higher quality candidates — than we even hoped. I’ll use him again and again.”

Need To Know More?

Don’t worry, we got you. Here are some answers for your questions.

  • We charge by the hour. You only pay for what you use.

  • That depends on how many candidates are interested in your openings. When your openings are sufficiently interesting (location, compensation, nature of the work, etc) to attract enough interest, then the only limiting factor is the speed at which you can interview. If you're organized, a position can be filled with the right person in just a few days.

  • A combination of advertising, dedicated sourcers, automation, and outreach.

  • We recruit worldwide, from the USA to Europe to Pakistan.

  • Yes, you can stop the engagement whenever you life. We give you the flexibility to retain our services only when you need us. You don't keep paying your tax accountant after your taxes have been filed, and you shouldn't need to keep paying a recruiter when you aren't hiring.
