Superposition for Seed-Stage Startups
Hire 3-10 people without hiring a recruiter first.
The seed-stage hiring trap
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
You raised a seed round. You need engineers, a designer, maybe a first GTM hire. You know you should be shipping. Instead, you're spending half your week on LinkedIn Recruiter.
Hiring a recruiter means adding overhead before you have the revenue to support it. Retained search means 25-30% of salary burned on candidates that may not even close.
You need sourcing that multiplies your capacity without adding a hire to the team.
How Superposition works for seed-stage
Parallel open reqs
Run agents in parallel across engineering, design, and GTM. Each one operates independently. You review curated shortlists.
No recruiter hire required
You get the output of a sourcing team without the burn rate of hiring one.
Stage-matched candidates
Our agent understands the difference between a 10-person seed team and a 50-person Series B, and sources accordingly.
Flat-rate, success-based
$500/agent/month plus success fee on placement. Zero risk if we don't deliver.
Questions.
Answered.
Usually not yet. Below roughly ten hires a year a full-time recruiter is hard to justify, which is exactly the gap an agent fills.
One agent per role. Most seed teams run two or three in parallel and find the constraint is their own interview capacity rather than candidate flow.
Materially less on a typical seed hire, because the success fee is on base salary rather than a percentage of the whole package, and there is no agency margin.
Stop the agent and the monthly fee stops. What it learned about your bar stays in the account.
