Hired within three weeks.

A recruitment partner, not an agency
Stop waiting for the right people to find you.
You usually know exactly who you want to hire. We reach those people personally, under your own name, and put the conversations in your calendar. Relevance, not reach.
Built by ex-LinkedIn employees. A partner, not a vendor. Every message goes out as you, never a recruiter.
The real problem
The talent you actually want isn't looking.
The person who'd transform your team isn't scrolling job boards. They're happily employed, and either ignored, or spammed by recruiters who'll pitch your competitor next week.
Reaching them takes real, personal outreach. And the one thing that makes it land is you: your name opens the message, your reputation earns the reply.
So companies do the opposite: post the role, run campaigns, hire agencies, and spend to reach as many people as possible, when they only want to speak to a handful.
More reach was never the answer. The right people, reached personally, is.
The difference
We're not a recruitment agency. We're your partner.
Agencies chase reach and send you strangers. We build your reputation with the exact people you want to hire.

How it works
How we work.
It starts with a simple question: who do you actually want to hire? From there we reach them personally, under your name, and hand you the conversations. You show up for the part that matters: the interview.
1
Who you want
A short session on the role and the exact people who'd fit: level, field, region, sometimes the very companies they're at now.
We do this2
Target group
We turn that into a precise list of people who genuinely fit. Our LinkedIn and recruitment background is what makes it sharp: no keyword spam, no broad nets.
We do this3
The fit, mapped
For each person, a profile mapped to your requirements: the match, the gaps, the why. You choose on evidence, not guesswork.
We do this4
Personal outreach, as you
Individual messages go out under your own name: no ads, no mass mailing. Candidates see your reputation, so they reply.
We do this5
Conversations booked
Everyone who says yes lands on your calendar. No agency in between. Your first conversation is the one that counts.
Over to youRelevance, not reach
We don't send you names.
We show you fit.
For every person you see exactly how they map to your role, requirement by requirement. The match, the gaps, the why.
Your shortlist becomes a set of decisions, not a pile of CVs.
That depth isn't guesswork. It runs on sourcing technology we built ourselves, the craft we learned at LinkedIn, turned into tooling, so we catch the signals a keyword search misses.

Why she fits: scaled a Dutch e-commerce brand from €40k to €180k/mo ad spend in 14 months, owning the full funnel. The gap: her marketplace work is adjacent, not direct, worth probing in the first interview.
From the founders
“We're ex-LinkedIn employees. We watched companies pour budget into campaigns and agencies while the people they actually wanted weren't even looking. So we built HeyHuma: reach the right people personally, under your own name.”

Already have a talent team?
Then you don't need more recruiters. You need reach.
Sourcing capacity that doesn't blow your budget or your headcount. We plug in under your employer brand, run the top of the funnel, and hand your team warm, qualified conversations. We never bypass you.
Pricing
You invest in an approach, not a placement.
What fits depends on your organisation, the number of roles, and the audience you want to reach. We scope it together in a no-obligation intro: no rate card, no pressure.
Start the conversation with the people you actually want.
The person you want is one good message away, from you. A 15-minute call, no deck. We listen; you decide whether HeyHuma fits.
