Process
Tell us the role, stack, salary range, and timeline. A dedicated account manager reviews every order personally before it goes live — we only accept roles we can fill.
Vetted independent IT recruiters in our network start sourcing immediately. Every candidate is reviewed by a dedicated account manager before it reaches your inbox — no noise.
Review candidates, run your interviews, make the offer. You pay the flat 17% fee only when a candidate accepts and starts. 90-day guarantee included.
What We Place
We also place: DevOps, Cloud & Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, QA & SDET, Product Managers, and IT Leadership. If it's an IT role, we can source it.
Transparent Pricing
We publish our rates because we have nothing to hide. You know exactly what you'll pay before a single candidate is submitted.

Our Story
Traditional recruiting is slow, opaque, and overpriced. Agencies charge 20-25%, flood inboxes with unvetted resumes, and disappear after the invoice. We built Foundation Hire to fix that — combining AI-powered candidate matching with senior recruiting expertise to deliver faster, higher-quality placements at a price that's actually fair.
Our platform uses advanced AI to score and match candidates against job requirements before a human ever reviews them — eliminating noise and surfacing the right profiles faster.
Every submission passes a dedicated account manager's quality review before it reaches your inbox. AI finds the candidates. Our team ensures they're genuinely right for your role.
Our network of vetted independent IT recruiters brings deep specialization across software engineering, data, DevOps, and beyond — sourcing simultaneously across multiple channels.
Published pricing, real-time pipeline visibility, and a 90-day guarantee built into every engagement. No surprises, no retainers, no invoice unless you hire.
