One of the mantras of all companies, especially tech, is that you've got to be always hiring. That means always out looking for great people who are also a cultural fit and bringing them in regardless of whether there is an open position. This is difficult for founders since their focus is typically on building the product, no matter what. I speculate that there is a type of HR role that could fill this need, but not be a full-time payroll person for the startup companies they serve. Perhaps a type of retained recruiter but who has a much closer relationship to the start up than the current 'hunter' type that Founders never meet in person. They'd have a good working relationship with the founder and employees, actually understand the culture and the tech, and then only bring people in who they felt were truly a fit. Do such types exist? If not, would founders find them valuable? How would you align their interest with the startup so they genuinely brought in candidates they felt were a fit?
