Tangerine Search came to our rescue. By being very responsive, they came on site to familiarize themselves with the office location and culture and also interviewed the hiring managers that they were going to support. This was beyond my expectations.

A startup recruiting agency helps early-stage and scaling companies find and hire top talent quickly—especially for technical, executive, and hard-to-fill roles.
We typically identify strong, qualified candidates within the first week. From there, your internal interview and onboarding process will determine the final timeline. In many cases, clients are able to have a new hire start within 2–3 weeks.
For executive or highly specialized roles, timelines may vary—but we’ll always provide a realistic estimate upfront.
Scalable HR support means flexible, outsourced human resources expertise that grows with your business. It’s fractional HR—brought in on a part-time or as-needed basis—to help startups stay compliant, onboard effectively, and build strong people systems.
Some seasons require more support. Some require less.
With scalable HR, you can adjust up or down—without the cost of a full-time hire.
We work mostly with tech and tech-adjacent companies—especially software, AI, cybersecurity, digital health, and climate tech—but we’re not industry-snobs.
We primarily work with growth-stage and mid-market organizations across technology and professional services. Our industry experience includes software and SaaS, AI and data, cybersecurity, digital health and medical technology, climate tech and clean energy, fintech, and mission-driven nonprofits.
We are! Tangerine Search is a boutique recruiting and HR firm rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area. While many of our clients are local, we also partner with teams across the U.S. and around the world.
Definitely. We’ve supported distributed teams across multiple countries and time zones — hiring both full-time employees and contractors. Whether you're building a fully remote team or expanding internationally, we can help you do it thoughtfully and compliantly.
Our pricing depends on the type of support you need — whether that’s contingent recruiting, retained executive search, HR consulting, or RPO. Most engagements start between $3,000–$5,000, with recruiting fees based on a percentage of first-year salary.
