About

Hiring for some really cool and interesting AI-Native startups - HMU for more info! We co-founded Hunter Harris to bring a smarter, faster, and more intentional approach to hiring in tech—especially for the roles that are hardest to fill. With deep roots in NYC’s startup scene and over a decade of experience building technical and leadership teams, we’ve seen firsthand what works—and what slows companies down. Hunter Harris was built to cut through that noise. We partner with early to growth-stage startups and ambitious tech leaders to deliver results: high-caliber engineers, technical leaders, and executive talent—fast, and with purpose. Our model is lean, targeted, and personal. We work through trusted networks, sharp sourcing, and clear, honest conversations. Every search is hands-on. Every placement is made to last. We’ve helped build out engineering orgs, scale founding teams, and place critical VPs at NYC’s most promising Series A–C companies, as well as global leaders in fintech, AI, proptech, and beyond. This is precision hiring—built by recruiters who know what it takes, and deliver it. Sophie@Hunter-Harris.com / 646-453-0445
