Modern Line with Diamond Bullets

A start-up in hypergrowth that cannot scale quickly enough internally to meet its recruiting demands

A start-up that is looking to hire its core team - from C-level executives to directors, and top management

A rapidly-expanding start-up with funding, but not enough bandwidth to recruit in-house

What We Stand For

Quality Control

Quality Over Quality:

We believe in carefully selecting the right candidate for our client's need, not just submitting job seekers to fill your pipeline


Honesty is the Best Policy:

No guesswork with us - we will always be upfront and transparent with our candidates and clients


Making Recruiting Fun Again:

Our goal is to alleviate the recruiting process for both parties by making our clients excited about candidates and our candidates excited about our companies!

About Us

Founded in 2014, XT provides top-tier talent to thriving start-ups.


With founding roots defined in hyper-competitive San Francisco and over 20 years of combined full-cycle recruiting experience, we know what it takes to place top-quality talent in your business.


As a family-run, minority-led boutique firm, we've taken it upon ourselves to shine light where it's darkest by fostering opportunities for underrepresented talent.


Our passion lies in helping people achieve their greatest potential by fostering an inclusive and diverse environment.


These experiences have allowed us to perfect our unique approach to recruiting.
