Refusing to accept mediocrity in recruiting

the internal external model

 

Many Seed to Series C companies don’t have bandwidth to manage outsourced recruiting processes closely - much less bad outsourced recruiting. And that means accepting a mediocre experience - poor quality pitches, poor-fitting candidates, and little to no hands-on attention to company needs. What’s more, high recruiting fees limit the opportunity for great companies to find and hire great talent.

Internal External is obsessed with transforming the impersonal, expensive, and often ineffective status-quo recruiting process into a humanized, results-oriented, and cost-effective experience, a better experience for companies and candidates.

With a range of products to fit the changing needs of Seed to Series C companies, and even some later-stage companies, we offer a collaborative approach, backed by data, deep industry knowledge, and conscientious attention to detail.

Simply, we’re a technology recruiting and people solutions company, specializing in building engineering, data, and product teams for NYC-based technology startups and technology companies in various stages of growth.

“Of all the things I’ve done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.”

Let’s Do This!

  • With other recruiting firms, kicking off the recruiting process means submitting a sample resume, job description, or responsibility write-up. The problem is these documents often miss key qualities needed to identify and place best-fit candidates.

    We approach the process differently - in two simple steps.

  • The goal of this first step is for us to assess your needs, determine how, or if, Internal External can address your needs, and, if so, which product is best suited to your company and situation.

    You can expect:

    A qualification document. We’ll take you through a few questions to help us understand your unique needs.

    A recommended solution. We’re committed to a  long-term, collaborative relationship with you. So if Internal External isn’t the right fit, we’ll direct you to a solution that is.

    A 15-30 minute conversation

  • After we’ve identified a best-fit solution for you, we kick off the onboarding process with a conversation that provides you with full visibility into our recruiting process - from submission to offer - and gives us the insights we need to map out recommendations for team composition and pitch messaging.  Our goal is simple: we want to find and place great-fit talent for you and offer you a communicative, transparent, and satisfying experience. 

    You can expect:

    Some preparation. We’ll ask you to complete a qualifications document before the kick-off to help us efficiently zero in on your needs.
