“Brooklyn has always been a center of industry, innovation and reinvention. Our home at the historic Domino Sugar Refinery embodies this spirit - bridging the gap between the city’s industrial past and its future as a vibrant hub for startups, creators and technology pioneers.
Building our business at the heart of this community and hopefully, in some small way, contributing to this rich history not only reflects who we are, but shapes how we work.”

Our
Values
Have Fun
Having spent decades recruiting people from all walks of life, we know that loving what you do isn’t a luxury - its a choice. If we don’t enjoy the journey, how can we expect our clients to? Relentless problem solving, curisosity and joy keep our edge sharp.
Build Trust
Great partnerships don’t happen by chance - they’re built on trust. To be a great partner, we have to be highly competent at what we do and hold ourselves to the highest levels of accountability. From there a great outcomes are inevitable.
Show Respect
Behind every resume is a life. In this business, it’s too easy to forget the emotional rollercoaster people go through when changing jobs. We don’t. We show up, stay present, and support them with empathy and consistency. Respect fuels resilience and in the high growth start-up world, people need both.
Innovate
“There’s always a way to do it better…. Find it!” Edison had it right. We challenge convention, adapt fast, and push ourselves to improve constantly - even when it seems like things are working. Because just like our clients, if we ever stop iterating, we fall behind.
