Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

As an early-stage AI startup, building the right founding team was mission-critical. We partnered with HumanLab to lead the end-to-end recruitment process for two key early hires: a Product Designer and an AI Engineer.

Their scope of work included role definition and positioning, market mapping, proactive sourcing, candidate outreach, screening and qualification, interview coordination, and offer-stage support. They also advised us on compensation benchmarking and candidate experience to ensure we remained competitive in a tight talent market.

Key deliverables included:

• A curated pipeline of highly qualified candidates for both roles
• Pre-screened profiles aligned with our technical and cultural requirements
• Structured candidate feedback and interview coordination
• End-to-end hiring process management with minimal time burden on our founders

HumanLab successfully helped us close both positions within a short timeframe. The candidates they introduced were not only technically strong but also culturally aligned — which is critical at our stage. Their proactive communication, speed, and collaborative approach made them feel like an extension of our team rather than an external recruiter.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Measurable results:

• Time-to-hire: Both roles were filled significantly faster than market average for senior AI and design talent.
• Pipeline quality: We interviewed a high percentage of viable candidates, which reduced screening waste and internal bandwidth usage.
• Founder time saved: HumanLab managed the majority of sourcing, screening, and coordination, allowing our founding team to stay focused on product and growth.
• Offer acceptance rate: Both selected candidates accepted offers without prolonged negotiation cycles, indicating strong alignment and proper expectation setting.
• Retention & impact: Both hires became core contributors early on, accelerating product development and improving execution speed.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was structured, proactive, and highly responsive. Since startups are pretty agile, and a lot of things come up, they were understanding of other duties that we had to attend. 

Communication was frequent and concise, with regular updates on sourcing progress, candidate feedback, and market insights.

What stood out most was their responsiveness. Whenever we refined role requirements or adjusted expectations, they adapted immediately and recalibrated the search accordingly. They were also available for quick syncs when needed, especially during critical stages like final interviews and offer negotiations.
