Alloyed

Alloyed is a Los Angeles-based embedded recruiting firm that specializes in serving early-stage startup founders. They position themselves as a complete talent function solution, allowing founders to focus on building their companies rather than spending time on recruitment activities.

Alloyed offers a comprehensive embedded recruiting service designed specifically for startup founders who need high-quality talent acquisition without the overhead of managing recruiting processes themselves. The company operates as an integrated internal talent team, handling 100% of the talent function from strategy to execution. Their approach includes managing passive candidate sourcing, inbound applications, and referrals, with all candidates screened to the client's specific talent standards.

The firm distinguishes itself through its consultative partnership model, operating through shared Slack channels and structured weekly calls to ensure complete accountability for all recruiting activities. Unlike traditional recruiting agencies that take a transactional approach, Alloyed focuses on building long-term talent program success where clients maintain ownership of candidate relationships and pipelines.

Alloyed leverages a proprietary tech stack that provides full transparency and control over the recruiting process. Their platform includes a comprehensive dashboard that allows clients to view candidates at every stage of the funnel, control messaging and scripting, access transcripts of conversations, and receive real-time notifications via email or Slack. This technology-driven approach ensures data-driven recruiting with complete visibility into all recruiting activities.

The company operates on a simple monthly retainer model of $7,500 per month with a six-month term and unlimited hires, eliminating the typical 20-30% per hire fees charged by traditional recruiting agencies. They offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, providing full refunds if clients are not satisfied with the service quality.
