Fuel Talent

Fuel Talent is a small recruiting firm in Seattle that fills roles for growing companies. Instead of handing hiring managers a pile of résumés, it sends a short list of screened people who fit the job, the team culture and the company's values.

Services

• Candidate shortlists: a small set of checked applicants matched to the role's requirements.
• Sourcing: detailed Boolean searches to find people who are not actively applying.
• Screening: close résumé review, phone screens and in-person meetings before anyone is put forward.
• Reference checks: verifying a candidate's background ahead of an offer.
• Follow-up after placement: staying in touch to help the new hire and employer settle into the relationship.

The firm says it takes on companies of all sizes and backgrounds. Client comments on its page come from Seattle startups, including a co-founder, a head of recruiting and an engineering hiring manager.
