Our Story

Recruiting from Scratch was founded in 2019 by Will Sanders with the idea that there was a better way to recruit: from “scratch,” and without the frills and unnecessary overhead of a larger agency model.

From 2020-2023, we rapidly grew our team to hire skilled account managers, recruiters and other talented team members.

Fast forward to today, and our mission is simple - to connect the best candidates to the best companies out there and let them forge connections. Our primary markets include New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, although we recruit globally across Latin America and Europe as well.

Since our inception, we’ve worked with 125+ companies from large enterprise to early-stage startups to successfully place candidates.

About our Team

We’re a team of account managers, recruiters and sourcers with a passion for connecting exceptional candidates to outstanding companies.

We pride ourselves on our ability to identify and attract top talent for a wide range of industries and positions. Our team has successfully placed candidates in roles ranging from entry-level to senior management positions.

As a remote team, we have the flexibility to work with clients across the country. With team members located throughout the United States, we’ve established a deep understanding of regional job markets - from salary ranges to top job functions, and more.

At our core, we are a team of problem solvers who are committed delivering exceptional service and exceeding expectations.
