Bespoke Startup Talent Services For 1/2 the Cost of Agencies

When you look into how a successful startup was created, you will find an amazingly talented team behind the scenes. If you wonder how that team was created, you will find someone like Joel. I look back now and realize that hiring Joel was one of the best decisions I made for the startup. He was instrumental in turning it from a tiny venture into a multibillion dollar company by recruiting some of the world's top tech rockstars. I couldn't recommend Joel more highly.

Joel and Seth recruited for us in our early days as we scaled Calabrio from the startup stage to what would eventually be a $1B+ company, and their contribution was critical. They recruited 50+ key members of our technical teams across Software Engineering, QA, DevOps, Technology Support, and Data Analytics among others. They easily outperformed all our other recruiting sources and were a joy to work with.

There are many recruiters in the world and some lesser percentage who are good at tech-oriented roles. Joel is easily the best tech recruiter I’ve worked with. But, he’s also extremely competent at executive recruiting and for many other roles. Over the years, Joel helped me bring in top-tier marketing leaders, design talent, and more. What really sets Joel apart, in my opinion, is how he does things. Yes, he’s very good at recruiting and has a special knack for engaging top passive candidates. But, the way he builds rapport, trust and lasting relationships throughout is what impresses me the most. Joel is a great human and it comes through in all he does. For these reasons, Joel has my highest recommendation.

It has been a true pleasure working with Joel and his team at BrainCloud. Our team had significant growth in 2021 and early 2022 and the recruiting landscape was particularly challenging in tech. Joel and his team made a point to dig deep into finding candidates with a mix of the right technical skills, attitude of collaboration, teamwork and culture. Five stars to Joel and the BrainCloud team!

As a fast-paced startup facing rapid growth, we were in desperate need of all hands on deck design skills from branding and marketing insider knowledge to executional strategies, and Joe relentlessly put his creative skillset to work for my team before we had the internal structure in place to manage the needs. His positive attitude, can-do mentality and sense of urgency was instrumental in providing us with the much needed support to get our design team up and running quickly. Any organization would be lucky without hesitation to have such an extensive network and knowledgeable collaborator working towards helping them achieve their team goals.

Joel and his team are the best recruitment team I have ever worked with. BrainCloud Recruiting is for sure your “go to” team for all hiring requirements, even during the toughest job market times.

I had the wonderful experience of both being recruited by Joel to join Quanata and to work with him for years as we built the engineering organization. Hiring strong software engineers in the brutally competitive San Francisco market was no small feat. Joel was a critical part of the team and he was able to source the quality and quantity of candidates we needed to be successful. Joel took the time not only to understand what I was looking for in skills but also helped develop the brand voice for talking to candidates. I was confident that we were represented well when Joel or a member of his team reached out to someone on our behalf. If you are looking to add jet fuel to your hiring pipeline, I could not recommend Joel enough.

This is the person you want running your recruitment team. His staff respects and trusts him and so does leadership and everyone he touches in the process. You won’t meet a better person and certainly not one who can so easily accomplish your recruiting goals. I give him an eleven out of ten.
