Rise & Co Talent

Rise & Co Talent is a full-service recruiting firm built by founders, for founders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. The Boulder-based agency is led by experienced recruiters who previously headed recruiting teams at Epic and Eventbrite, bringing enterprise-level expertise to startups and growing businesses. They focus on helping companies hire top talent with confidence while positioning recruiting as a strategic advantage rather than an expensive slog.

Rise & Co Talent specializes in recruiting for startups and growing businesses, leveraging their founders' extensive experience from leading recruiting teams at major companies like Epic and Eventbrite. They have built trust with over 60 companies across all industries and sizes, providing the value of an in-house recruiting leader while removing friction from the hiring process.

Their approach begins with a strategic recruiting intake to deeply understand each client's business, goals, culture, and definition of top talent. They create compelling company and opportunity overviews that tell the client's story and attract high performers. The firm takes pride in their human-centric and straightforward approach, which sets them apart from other recruiting firms in the market.

Rise & Co Talent handles the complete recruitment process from start to finish, personally reaching out to passive candidates who are excelling in their current roles rather than just reviewing easy applicants. They don't outsource any aspect of the search process, ensuring quality and consistency throughout. Their services include interview support, scheduling, hiring assessments, background checks, and reference checks.

Beyond placement, the firm focuses on long-term success by helping clients close offers and developing custom 30-60-90 day onboarding plans to ensure fast ramp-up and strong employee retention. They maintain ongoing relationships with clients, positioning themselves as long-term strategic partners rather than transactional service providers. Their goal is to help clients hire the right person the first time, ultimately saving both time and money while avoiding costly mis-hires.
