The challenge

Leadership bandwidth was the hiring bottleneck, we were also still calibrating what exceptional looked like. Without a structured process and a recruiting partner who could build it with us, we risked compromising both speed and quality.

What Scene built

Seven hires of the highest calibre over roughly six months - Scene took on outcomes rather than just process, they cared about whether the team actually worked together, not just whether individual reqs got closed.

What made Scene stand out

It genuinely feels like an extension of our own team. Responsive, proactive, comfortable pushing back on us when needed, and personally invested, celebrating hires with us and checking in on how new hires were settling in during their first weeks.

What our clients said

Scene get what a start-up needs, they don't hire against a job description, they hire for how someone will operate inside a specific, fast-moving system alongside the people already there. Scene calibrated for that fit at every step.

Sona Sulakian
VP of AI Products

Scene showed up daily, embedded in our Slack, ran weekly syncs, and sat in on comp conversations alongside us. That's a different kind of partnership than hiring a recruiter per role, and it's why we chose to work with them.

Speed and follow-through stood out most. When a candidate had 48 hours to decide, Scene moved at that same pace, jumping on scheduling, comp structuring, and finance approvals in real time.
