The recruiting expertise your team needs, without adding headcount.

Job reqs pile up, processes break down, and the wrong hires cost more than just money. Human Pulse brings structure, strategy, and the right data to your talent function so your team can grow with confidence.

Data-Informed

Every recommendation is rooted in your hiring data, market trends, and what's working for companies at your stage. No guessing.

Strategically Built

From sourcing to offer, we design hiring processes that scale with you.

Human First

Recruiting is about people. We build candidate experiences and hiring cultures that reflect the company you're trying to become.

One role, one time. No retainer required.

Not ready to commit to a full engagement? This is your low-risk way to see Human Pulse in action. We source and deliver up to three vetted, curated candidate profiles for one open role, with a brief assessment on each.

  • Up to 3 sourced and vetted profiles
  • Brief written assessment on each candidate
  • One target role, scoped in advance

If you want to see what Human Pulse can offer, this is a good place to start. From there, you can retain us for ongoing support or take it from here yourself.

Project-Based · 2–4 Weeks

Hiring Strategy & Advisory

For teams that need clarity before they hire
Starting at $2,500 per month

Scope and hours vary based on stage and hiring complexity.

This engagement focuses on setting the foundation for effective, scalable hiring. We partner with leaders to define what success looks like in a role, assess current hiring processes, and design a clear strategy aligned to business goals.

  • Hiring strategy and workforce planning
  • Role definition and success profiles
  • Interview structure and process design
  • Recruiting metrics and decision frameworks
  • Hiring manager enablement and alignment

Ideal for teams navigating growth, change, or uncertainty around where to focus next.

Retainer scales with hiring volume and level of support.

Human Pulse embeds directly with your team to provide hands-on recruiting support while maintaining a strategic lens. This model works well for periods of growth, backfills, or when internal capacity is limited.

  • Full-cycle recruiting support
  • Close partnership with hiring managers
  • Thoughtful candidate outreach and experience
  • Data-informed pipeline management
  • Regular communication and reporting

Leadership & Executive Search

For critical hires where alignment matters
Starting at $6,500 per month

Final engagement based on search complexity and role seniority.

We support leadership and executive searches with a structured, high-touch approach focused on long-term fit. Each search is tailored to the role, the team, and the broader business context.

  • Search strategy and stakeholder alignment
  • Candidate sourcing and evaluation
  • Structured interview design
  • Offer support and decision guidance

Built for Director-level and above, the critical hires that unlock your next stage of growth.

Why we don't work on contingency.

Contingency search creates misaligned incentives. When a recruiter only gets paid if a candidate is placed, speed can win over fit. Our retained model means we're focused entirely on finding the right person for your team, not the fastest one to close.

1
We're a partner, not a broker

Retained engagements align our incentives entirely with yours: finding the right hire, not just any hire.

2
Better outcomes, less pressure

Without commission pressure, we can take the time to get it right and give you our honest assessment.

3
Real partnership

You get a strategic thought partner embedded in the process, not someone checking in only when they have a candidate.

How it works

Every engagement starts with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there, we recommend a level of support aligned to your needs.

Human Pulse
Fractional Talent Acquisition

Built for the moment hiring got complicated.

Hiring has never had more tools. It's also never felt more impersonal.

Human Pulse exists at that intersection. AI and data are powerful, but they don't build trust with a candidate, read a room with a founder, or know when a role needs to be redefined before it's filled. That takes judgment, experience, and genuine care.

Human Pulse was built on the belief that the best hiring decisions come from combining both: the rigor of data-driven strategy with the irreplaceable value of human connection. Smart sourcing, thoughtful candidate experience, and recruiting infrastructure designed to scale with you.

Driven by data. Built by people who give a damn.

Our philosophy

How we think about hiring.

Great recruiting isn't about filling seats. It's about understanding what a company actually needs, building systems that find those people consistently, and creating an experience that makes candidates want to say yes.

We believe in data over gut instinct, process over heroics, and treating candidates like the humans they are. Those aren't just values. They're what produces better hires, faster.


Experience that speaks for itself.
