Intelligence Deployed

What we do

Sxaler combines AI-native, Forward Deployed Recruiters with proprietary technology to deliver top-percentile talent. We embed ourselves within clients (we call them missions) when hiring is p0, operating as one of them. When the job is done, we ramp down and handoff.

Our stack makes us fast and precise, and our people bring a palate for human judgement and hiring orchestration that cannot be fast-tracked.

Our charter is maximum impact on hiring against unreasonable standards and expectations in mission-critical environments.

Why we exist

We are ex-operators who have scaled unicorns from 0‑1. During that period, we were on the receiving end of all forms of talent services. We’ve built the company we wish existed during that time.

Lean, AI-native companies need immediate hiring impact without the commitment of a substantial recruiting teams. Rapidly deploying our people into hiring sprints within days - and rolling them off predictably - massively increases speed to effectiveness, decreases risk and avoids collateral complexity.

Why it works

Muscle memory and battle scars gained from positions of accountability, during formative moments at the front line in unicorns. We’ve built teams from the ground up that people still talk about, from the inside, and against extreme competition.

We have practiced onboarding in nascent environments where very little exists to support our success. We have built some of the highest-performing teams on earth, where careful orchestration and course correction are necessary.

Our collective breadth and depth of experience is unmatched, and when combined with our candidate ecosystem and technology, is a force multiplier.

Who we work with

AI-pilled companies in emerging or deep tech, as well as industries who are fighting for top 1% talent and the ability/desire to operate at the speed needed to compete.

It is a misconception that our model is only suitable when hiring hundreds of people. On the contrary, our deployed model thrives whenever building lean teams of exceptional quality is the priority. Our typical assignments can be summarized as either:

1. First/early-boots on the ground following significant funding to make key hires, often helping to introduce modern hiring infrastructure
2. Additional boots on the ground to power-up teams during periods of scale, to avoid bloating with full-time recruiters

Our clients are typically based in London, San Francisco, New York, Paris, Stockholm or fully-remote.
