AI & Quantum Recruiting Services
We don't just fill roles. We partner with founders to understand your core mission, then find the exceptional talent ready to build it with you.
More Than Recruiters. We're Your Foundation Builders.
In the high-stakes world of AI and Quantum technology, every hire is pivotal. A misstep can cost more than just time and money—it can derail momentum and impact your mission. At Amaru, we understand this profoundly. That's why our approach starts with you.
Before we search, we understand:
- →Your Vision: Where are you going, and what impact do you want to make?
- →Your Culture: What are the spoken and unspoken values that define your team?
- →Your Challenges: What specific hurdles will this new hire help you overcome?
- →Your Unique Needs: Beyond the job description, what makes a candidate truly right?

What You Get With Amaru
We take the risk
Our 21-Day Priority Sprint comes with a guarantee: 3 vetted Builders or your deposit back. We're not here to collect retainers. We're here to prove we can deliver.
The Problem
You need to hire, but you've been burned before. Recruiters flood your inbox with unvetted resumes. Retained firms want $30K upfront before they've proven anything. You don't have time to gamble.
The Offer
A 21-day sprint to deliver 3 vetted Builders—engineers who thrive in startup chaos, not just big-company maintainers.
The deposit credits against our success fee. If we deliver, it costs you nothing extra. If we don't, you get it back.
How It Works
Week 1: Forensic Discovery
We go beyond the job description. In 4 hours with your team, we define Performance Objectives—what this hire will actually accomplish in their first 6-12 months.
Day 7: Market Calibration
We present 10 anonymized profiles. You tell us who fits and who doesn't. We course-correct before we start interviewing.
Days 8-20: The Hunt
We source, outreach, and run our 3-stage internal screen. We reject 90% so you don't have to.
Day 21: The Builder Shortlist
You receive exactly 3 candidates who:
- →Meet the technical requirements we defined together
- →Have passed our internal screen
- →Have confirmed interest and availability
- →Are aligned on comp and ready to interview
Why This Works
Most recruiting is a race to send resumes. We race to accuracy.
You're not paying for volume. You're paying for signal. Three candidates who can actually do the job beats thirty who look good on paper.
