Questions
What distinguishes Jivaro Professional Headhunters as 'headhunters' versus traditional recruiters?
Our headhunters proactively identify and pursue passive candidates rather than waiting for applicants. This aggressive approach, combined with our team-based resource model, allows us to access the top 5% of available talent in competitive technology markets.
How does Jivaro Professional Headhunters's team approach improve recruitment outcomes?
While you work with one primary contact, 40+ headhunters collaborate behind the scenes. This enables faster candidate identification, more thorough pre-screening, and accelerated placement timelines compared to traditional single-recruiter models.
Why use a specialized technology recruiting firm?
Our deep industry expertise and established relationships with venture capital firms give us unique access to both emerging companies and high-demand technical professionals that generalist agencies cannot reach.
What happens if a position remains unfilled?
Our pay-for-performance model means you only pay when we successfully fill your role. If we don't make a placement, you owe nothing for our recruitment efforts.

Report
An absolute success. I was placed into not only a position I could excel in, but a position in which I could be promoted. I was promoted in less than 6 months from what Jivaro referred me for. Part of it is being willing to create success for yourself. Jivaro will set you up with an opportunity and a great role based on your skills, though making it happen is on the interviwee. These guys will put you in the RIGHT PLACE at the RIGHT TIME. Incredibly happy with the results. If you are looking for a professional recruiter or if you are a company looking for professionals - look no further.
