Reverse Recruiting Services

For exceptional talent ready to find their next mission.

At Amadeus Search, we don’t just recruit for companies — we represent extraordinary individuals.

Our Reverse Recruiting service is designed for engineers, researchers, and technical leaders who want to navigate what’s next with precision, discretion, and strategy.

We act as your partner and advocate, not a middleman. Through a deeply personalized process, we introduce you to founders and early-stage startups building at the frontier of AI, infrastructure, and intelligent systems — companies where your skills can shape the outcome.

This is a by-application-only service, reserved for those whose work already speaks for itself.

What We Do

Reverse Recruiting is your direct line into the early-stage ecosystem.
We combine talent representation, startup intelligence, and strategic career advisory to help you land in a company that matches your ability, vision, and values.

We:

• Curate access to stealth and high-growth startups in our seed and Series A network
  
  

• Match you to founders and CTOs seeking top-tier technical talent
  
  

• Guide you through offers, equity, and timing so you negotiate from a position of strength
  
  

• Handle all outreach discreetly — no public listings, no spam, no noise
  
  

Our goal is to help you find not just a job, but the next chapter where your work moves the needle.

The Process

1. Application
   Reverse Recruiting is invitation-only and capacity-limited. We review your background, experience, and professional goals to ensure alignment.
   
   

2. Strategic Intake
   A one-on-one session to define your ideal role, technical focus, and target environments. We refine how you’re positioned — your story, outcomes, and value narrative.
   
   

3. Curation & Outreach
   We confidentially present your profile to select founders and technical leaders across our network of startups, venture funds, and portfolio partners.
   
   

4. Introductions & Advisory
   You receive direct introductions only to roles that meet your parameters. We assist in scheduling, preparation, and post-interview feedback.
   
   

5. Negotiation & Transition Support
   We help structure compensation, equity, and timing — so your next move is strategic, not reactive.
   
   

6. Optional Post-Placement Advisory
   Continued guidance for 60–90 days after start, helping you navigate team integration and role scope.
   
   

When to Consider Reverse Recruiting

This service is ideal if you:

• Are exploring new opportunities but don’t want to broadcast your search publicly
  
  

• Want access to founders, labs, and early-stage teams not visible on LinkedIn
  
  

• Are pivoting from FAANG, trading, or research roles into startups
  
  

• Value precision, privacy, and quality over quantity
  
  

• Want a partner who understands both technical depth and startup context
