Superposition for Technical Cofounders
You should be in the codebase, not LinkedIn Recruiter.
The CTO hiring tax
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
As the technical cofounder, you're the one reviewing engineering candidates. You're writing cold outreach between pull requests. You're the tie-breaker on every hiring debate. Your shipping velocity is dropping as a result.
Traditional recruiters send you candidates they can't evaluate technically — so you end up grading every resume yourself. You're doing the screening work anyway, just with a 25% markup attached.
You need sourcing that does the technical screening, not just the outreach.
How Superposition works for technical founders
Technical agent, not generalist recruiter
Our agent reads code, evaluates open source, and filters on real engineering signal before surfacing candidates.
You review shortlists, not firehoses
Instead of 100 resumes, you get a small set of high-conviction matches — the ones worth your interview time.
Intake that speaks engineer
Voice intake captures the stack, the system, and the shape of engineer you want. No translation tax.
Flat-rate pricing
$500/agent/month. Predictable, not tied to salary levels.
Questions.
Answered.
Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.
$500 per agent per month operational, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus. No retainer, no upfront commitment, no percentage-of-OTE gotchas.
Most searches produce a curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks. Signed offers range from 5 to 12 weeks end-to-end, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If they leave for any reason within 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional cost.
There's an initial voice intake — usually 30–45 minutes — where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring. After that, you review curated candidates as they come in. No daily standups.
