Hire a Fullstack Engineer
The engineer who ships features end-to-end: schema to UI.
'Fullstack' means something different at every company
- Retained recruiters.
- LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
- Keyword-matched resumes.
- Templated InMails.
At one company 'fullstack' means 'does Next.js.' At another it means 'can own a feature from database migration to marketing site.' Recruiters can't tell which kind of fullstack engineer you actually need, so they send you both.
At an early-stage startup, what you really need is a generalist who can ship in ambiguity. They don't wait for specs, don't need a dedicated QA, and don't get stuck when the auth flow leaks into the infra layer.
Those engineers are hard to find because their strength doesn't show up cleanly on a resume. It shows up in shipping history and side projects.

Outreach built for builders
Messages explain the specific problems the candidate would own, the kind of pitch a builder actually reads.

At startup scale it is the default, not a compromise. The person who owns a feature from schema to interface ships faster than two people coordinating across a boundary.
Evidence on both sides: repositories with backend and interface work, features they owned end to end. Many candidates claim the label with depth on one side only, and the write-up says which.
Below roughly ten engineers, fullstack usually wins. Once the system is big enough that a specialist can stay busy on one side, split.
Most startup fullstack roles include a slice of both. Say so at intake and the agent weights for evidence of it.
