Putting the
pieces together
We kept seeing the same gap. Many startup leaders know what great recruiting feels like because they’ve worked alongside strong internal teams before. But at an earlier-stage company, that level of partnership can be surprisingly hard to find.
Agencies can be expensive and transactional. Contractors require ramp. Permanent recruiting headcount doesn’t always make sense yet. And even strong internal teams can lack the bandwidth or market depth to crack a difficult search.
Sundog was built to bring that in-house caliber of recruiting partnership into companies exactly when they need it.
We step in quickly, learn the company and hiring bar, calibrate what the market will support, and represent the opportunity with the context and care of someone sitting inside the team.
