- From pre-seed to Series D
The Talent Platform Behind Fast-Growing Startups.
Great startups are built by great people. Talent Connect 365 connects founders with great talent through curated hiring and startup-first recruiting.
From pre-seed to Series D, posted last 90 days
Vetted profiles, founder-referenced
Funded startups actively scaling
3.4× faster than industry standard
Building a Startup Team Takes More Than Filling Open Roles.
The people who thrive in startups aren’t always the ones with the flashiest resumes. They’re the ones who take ownership, solve problems, and keep building.
Ownership beats credentials
Anyone can list responsibilities. We help you find people who’ve owned outcomes and delivered measurable results.
Velocity is a culture, not a perk
The best startup talent knows how to adapt, move quickly, and make an impact. That’s exactly who you’ll find on Talent Connect 365.
The best operators want context, not pitches
Skip the cold introductions. We bring you candidates who’ve already done their homework and are genuinely interested in building with your team.
Three Steps. Either Side of The Table.
- For startups
- For talent
01
Post
Post the role you actually need
Skip the corporate JD template. Tell us what the next 90 days look like, what good looks like, and the stage you’re hiring for.
02
Curate
Get a curated shortlist, not a flood
Within 72 hours, you receive a short, dense list of operators who’ve shipped in your stage. No spray. No keyword-match noise.
03
Ship
Hire. Onboard. Compound.
Close in days, not quarters. Optional EOR, onboarding kits, equity advisory, and 90-day retention check-ins included.
Built For How Startups Actually Hire.
Stage-aware sourcing
Pre-seed needs different operators than Series C. Our filters know the difference — and so should your pipeline.
Founder-referenced talent
Every profile carries a context signal — who’s vouched, what they shipped, and the failure modes they’ve already burned through.
Distributed-first by default
Hire in 47 countries without setting up an entity. EOR, contracts, payroll, and compliance, handled end-to-end.
72-hour first shortlist
No black box. A real human curator returns 6–10 dense candidates within 3 days of your role going live.
Equity & comp benchmarks
Live data on what your stage actually pays. Stop losing offers because you priced the role last year.
Retention beyond day 90
We follow up. If a placement doesn’t click, we re-engage at no cost. Hiring is the start of the contract, not the end.
Hire Globally. Without The Entity Tax.
Preserve runway. Access talent your competitors can’t reach. We handle contracts, payroll, compliance, and equity across 47 countries — you focus on shipping.
Build a team that doesn't run out of money before product-market fit.
Most startups don't die from bad ideas. They die from bad burn. Global hiring done right buys you 12 more months of swings.
No entity setup, no incorporation
Hire your first engineer in Berlin tomorrow without opening a German subsidiary.
Equity-friendly contracts
Cross-border ESOP structures that don't burn months in legal review.
Compliance handled, end-to-end
Payroll, taxes, statutory benefits, terminations — you never touch a labor lawyer.
Roles Worth The Cold Email.

Words From People Who
Actually Shipped.

“We hired two founding engineers in 18 days. The shortlist had four people. We made offers to three. That’s not normal — that’s the platform working.”

“I’d been job-searching the standard way for three months. On TC365 I had three founder conversations in a week. Closed at the second.”

“The EOR layer alone saved us six months of legal. Our German team was operational the same week we signed the contract. Worth every basis point.”
