Bearhug Recruiting is a boutique executive search firm and trusted partner to early & growth-stage Environmental Technology and Enterprise Software startups scaling from ~$3M to $100M+. We exist on the belief that competitive advantage is a who, not a what. And that great talent is the ultimate moat. Unlike traditional search firms that recycle tired networks or leave clients exposed to risk, Bearhug takes a radically different approach: every search starts from scratch, mapping the full market and handpicking leaders from the top 10% of the talent pool (often those who ignore every other recruiter). With a proprietary workflow that combines structured intake, calibration, real-time transparency, and deeply consultative candidate engagement, Bearhug delivers not just faster hires (2.5× the industry speed), but better ones. Our model is boutique by design: each partner runs no more than three searches at a time, ensuring high-touch collaboration and a white-glove experience for both clients and candidates. We also remove upfront risk through milestone-based billing, flexible pricing via our Easy Button MSA, and a Performance Partnership Guarantee that ties our success directly to yours. The result? Nearly every client becomes a repeat client, VC firms refer us across their portfolios, and candidates often describe the experience as the most thorough and thoughtful recruiting process of their careers. Bearhug doesn’t just fill roles. We help founders unlock $100M+ in revenue scale (and their investors unlock 3x+ DPI) by building executive dream teams who transform companies.
