Hiring the wrong person, or waiting too long to hire, costs your business real money. We help startups, growth companies, small businesses, and nonprofits hire the right people faster, without the cost of a full-time recruiter or high contingent fees. 

Since 2012, we have delivered fractional, pay-as-you-go recruiting that supports the entire hiring process, from sourcing through offer. We build trusted relationships with both clients and candidates, allowing us to develop a deep understanding of business needs, team dynamics, and long-term goals. We do not just match skills. We prioritize culture fit, alignment, and the qualities that drive lasting success. 

With as little as 15 hours per week, you get an experienced recruiter, proven tools, and hands-on execution, so hiring moves forward while you stay focused on growing your business.

Who We Serve

We work with engineering-heavy companies operating in:
  • Satellite & Satcom operators
  • We work with engineering-heavy companies operating in:
  • Defense-adjacent and dual-use engineering organizations
  • Deep hardware & embedded systems startups

Core hiring areas

This is not volume recruiting. It’s precision hiring for complex systems.

Most recruiters do not understand:

  • RF propagation and link budgets
  • Embedded firmware vs. flight software
  • Ground systems architecture and mission operations
  • Hardware development cycles and qualification timelines
  • Defense-adjacent and regulated environments

ClientMind does. 
We don’t send resumes. 
We don’t keyword-match. 
We don’t waste founder or engineering time.

We screen candidates technically, not cosmetically. And we operate embedded inside your hiring process.

How We Work

Embedded. Fractional. Technical.

ClientMind functions like an internal hiring partner without adding headcount.

We align directly with founders and engineering leadership

We screen candidates technically, not cosmetically

We represent your company accurately to niche talent markets

We run the hiring process end-to-end

ClientMind doesn’t sell recruiting we reduce hiring risk. Recruiting is not the product. Hiring outcomes are. By operating as a fractional, embedded technical hiring arm, we help teams move faster in niche markets, protect founder and engineering time, and make confident decisions on critical hires. That’s the difference between a recruiter and a true hiring partner. 

"ClientMind Recruiting really supported our recruiting efforts in a number of ways just by finding qualified candidates, some of the best candidates we've had in recent years, eliminating a lot of that screening process that we would have to do and our team would have to do manually, and then lining up meetings, supporting us in how those meetings were set up and then following up with clients, they were incredible help throughout the entire process."​
