We are a search firm dedicated to helping VC backed companies find exceptional talent and leaders. And because we’re previous operators, we believe it takes one to know one.
During this phase, we’re strategizing getting to know you, your business, your team, product, and how we fit in. We’re reading between the lines to understand how we can help solve your needs.
Research
HI THERE. WE’RE RISE SEARCH.
Starting on day one, we embed ourselves with your team, working directly with key stakeholders on how we can attract and hire the best talent, improve their time-to-hire, and ultimately achieve your business goals.
Incubate
Strategize
Whether it’s rethinking a job description, a unique outreach strategy, or getting into the trenches with you around analytics, we want to formulate a strategy that makes sense for each individual role. It’s not one size fits all when it comes to talent attraction.
Execute
While the journey is incredibly important, the destination is why you bring us in as a partner. We get the job done by finding, attracting, evaluating, and ultimately closing the best talent for your organization.

Your future team is waiting for you.
We have a bias towards action & responsiveness which lead to calibrated hiring outcomes at speed. Early stage companies with exciting products can waste money & time over/under hiring (by experience level or # of heads). They’ve got a strategic brain and can expedite the process with founders and hiring managers on what the optimal hiring decisions are for the company at each stage.
Time
Price
The team at R.I.S.E. has infectious enthusiasm and that translates from the company pitch to the candidate. They build trust and excitement with candidates which means they closes deals at the right price with mission-driven candidates (on upside/equity) and help the company conserve cash when just starting out and during times of growth. We are nimble and our rates fall in line with what the market dictates.
We’re a boutique firm who brings the team you need when you need it. R.I.S.E has a hiring bar that is world-class. From IC to VP, they understand the technical skills & competencies each job requires which means they can design interview systems & processes with hiring managers that help everyone get to the truth on a candidate, faster. Their network is insanely broad (and engaged) because they invests time in nurturing it.
People

He’s also a closer: his killer work ethic means he will keep working the problem until success is in hand. We will definitely work with Scott again to support our hiring needs in the future.”
