Switchboard
Hiring beyond the resume.
We connect growing companies with the right people, the way an operator connected a call: personally, precisely, and fast. Old-school service, powered by modern recruiting technology.
A 1958 handshake.
A 2026 engine.
Switchboard sits between corporate and agency recruiting: the precision of a search firm, the speed of a staffing agency, and the structure of an in-house team, without the bloat of any of them.
A real person picks up.
We're a boutique firm on purpose. When you call Switchboard, you get Sylvia or Adam, the same senior recruiters who will run your search from intake to offer. No hand-offs to a junior team, no account managers, no phone tree.
Together we bring 25+ years of in-house and agency recruiting experience across banking, financial services, SaaS, engineering, legal, accounting and more.
AI-forward, by design.
Behind the friendly voice is a custom recruiting workflow built for every search. We're AI-forward in how we source, screen and communicate, so your search moves faster than it would with a traditional firm.
- —Search workflows designed around your role, not a template
- —Video recordings of our screening interviews, so you can size up a candidate in minutes
- —Marketing-driven outreach that reaches people who aren't job-hunting
- —Custom applications that show more than a resume can
- —Clear, fast updates so you always know where things stand
From first call to signed offer.
We listen.
A real intake conversation about the role, the team, and what a great hire actually looks like six months in.
We get the word out.
We rewrite the job description to attract the right people, then market it where they are, including our own candidate network.
We identify talent.
Custom applications and screening interviews filter for skill and fit. You get concise notes plus a video of each screening interview, not a pile of resumes.
We put them through.
A short list of vetted finalists, weekly check-ins, and help closing the offer. We stay on it until you hire.
One flat fee.
Known before we start.
Most of our clients work with us on a retained, flat-fee basis instead of paying a percentage of their new hire's salary. You'll know the full cost up front, and it's typically well below what a traditional search firm would charge for the same role.
Prefer to work on a contingent basis? We offer that too. We'll help you pick the structure that fits the search.
We stay on the line until you've hired.
