Shields Group Search is a NYC based executive search firm that works exclusively with Seed-Series C startups. Reach out to [email protected].
VCs now judge startups by hiring strategy, not just product. Why? Because a stellar team outpaces an MVP every time. At Shields Group Search, we build game-changing teams for Seed-Series C founders ready to scale for real. Your next hire = your next big win.
Series A founders are unlocking big wins by bringing in fractional execs; strategic leadership without the full-time overhead. Fast expertise, fresh perspectives, more runway. Don’t sleep on this trend. Your next power move is fractional. #startups #leadership
Most top startup talent isn’t on the market: they’re crushing it somewhere else. Layoffs may shuffle the pool, but the real game is sparking curiosity in passive candidates. We know where to look (and how to get them listening). #startuphiring
Technical skills matter, but for founders, grit matters more. That’s why at Shields Group Search, we assess EQ, IQ, and (most importantly) AQ: because startup success takes heart, smarts, and the ability to thrive in adversity. #StartupHiring #AQ
Startups: Your 5th hire isn’t just another headcount; it’s your culture, pace, and future. The wrong hire at this stage can double your risk & slow your growth. Fortune 500s can absorb it. You can’t. Nail early hires with Shields Group Search. #StartupHiring
Hiring the wrong VP of Sales post-Series A isn’t just about missing quotas; it’s lost runway, broken team morale, and wasted market momentum. Shields Group Search mitigates this risk with proven, research-driven leadership placements.
The best startup hires aren’t scrolling job boards: they’re busy building elsewhere. We dig deep, tailor outreach, and sell the story to turn passive stars into your next key teammate. Start hiring differently with Shields Group Search.
Everyone says remote hiring makes startup recruiting easier: but it's tougher than ever to spot true fit, build culture, and avoid costly hiring mistakes. At Shields Group Search, we go beyond resumes to help founders find who thrives in remote chaos.
The best startup hires aren’t on job boards; they’re already making an impact elsewhere. At Shields Group Search, we proactively connect with these passive stars through deep research & networks. Startup tip: Market your story, not just your job description.
The 5th hire at a startup isn’t just a headcount: it’s a potential game changer. Their impact shapes culture, direction, and success. At Shields Group Search, we find early-stage talent who make every seat count. The right 5th? Future unlocked.
“Hire fast, fire fast” sounds agile; but for early-stage startups, it’s a costly gamble. Rushed hiring leads to high turnover and missed potential. Shields Group Search invests in precision, not just speed. Make each hire count. #Startups #SmartHiring
Series A startups are unlocking next-level growth with fractional execs: getting top leadership, minus the full-time burn. Fast, flexible, and cost-effective. Shields Group Search is placing the best in the business. Ready to scale smarter?
Hiring the wrong person has 10x the ripple effect at a 10-person startup vs. a 1000-person company. Every mis-hire can stall momentum or culture. At Shields Group Search, we're research-driven to help you avoid costly mistakes early. #Startups #Hiring
A bad early hire is more than just a resume mistake: it’s a retention killer. 43% of startup employees leave within 2 years, costing founders time, money, and momentum. Make every hire count. #startup #founders #retention
At a startup, your 5th hire can shape the whole company. That's impact you won't find in a sea of 5,000. Make it count: look for grit, EQ, and adaptability. Get it right, and you're building a rocket, not just adding a seat.
VCs are getting smarter: before investing, they want to see your hiring roadmap. Why? Because your next 10 hires will make or break your growth. Having a talent strategy is as important as having cash in the bank.
Startups in 2025 are all about “less is more.” Lean teams, bigger salaries. Companies want impact players: fewer hires, but investing more in people who move the needle. Quality > quantity. It’s a win for top talent. #Startups #Recruitment #FutureOfWork
Playing it safe with hires is tempting, but it can stall innovation when your startup needs bold thinkers who thrive in uncertainty. Your next game-changer won’t be afraid to take calculated risks. Aim for impact, not comfort. #startup #recruitment
At a startup, your 5th hire will change everything: the culture, the pace, the future. Google's 5000th? Barely a ripple. Early hires aren't just teammates; they set your destiny. Choose wisely. Need help? Shields Group Search has your back. #startups #hiring
The best startup hires aren’t always looking: they’re building. At Shields Group Search, we go off the beaten path to find, engage, and excite passive executive & technical talent who fit your mission and thrive on challenge. #StartupHiring #PassiveTalent
