Engineering, Design, and Product Recruiting (2024)

We supercharge startups with todays best talent.

“Matt joined Candy early as a Talent Advisor almost six months before launch. During his time working with us, Matt and his team made 10+ critical hires including our first Director of Engineering, Head of Talent, Designers, Engineers, Product Managers, and more. We continue to work with Matt and the Lunch team on critical engineering hires and would recommend Lunch to anyone looking to build a great team, fast.”

Scott Lawin

CEO

“We hired Lunch shortly after raising our seed and they found and hired several of our early Engineers as well as our Head of Talent. Lunch did a great job of understanding and telling our story to candidates and we continue to work with them to this day.”

Daniel Simon

CEO

“Working with Lunch was a pleasure. Matt and his colleagues took the time to understand our ambition and delivered superb results for Blackbird, on time. They acted as an extension of the team and supercharged our talent acquisition process, helping us build a world class product, design, and engineering organization in record time”

Ben Leventhal

CEO

“We realized that we needed to find a strong product leader to head our newly formed product team. After the initial meeting with Lunch, I knew that they understood the importance of the role and the type of person we were looking for. Within days of engaging with them, we received a list of fantastic candidates along with reasons why Lunch put each person forward. They didn't simply forward us a CV. I would definitely work with Matt and Lunch again.”

Simon Holland

Co-founder

“Lunch was a great partner in helping us find an Engineering Manager for the Backend Team. They were always quick to respond, thoughtful in their communication and adapted quickly to feedback. We're thrilled with the end result!”

Anna Chalon

Head of People

“Lunch was so helpful in finding someone amazing for a niche engineering leadership role at the intersection of infrastructure and video. Not only was this a difficult role to fill, but this search was also in the middle of our acquisition with Adobe, so there were quite a few pivots throughout. Lunch took these in stride and we ended up filling the role with the perfect candidate!”

Lauren Saltus

Sr. Talent Partner

“We hired Lunch to lead our VP, Engineering search at a critical time for our business as we closed our Series A. They ran a superb process and found us an incredible leader that is scaling with us almost two years later.”

Matt Kennedy

Co-Founder and CEO

“Lunch brought a breath of fresh air into our recruiting process right from the start. Their focus on highlighting top engineering talent while ensuring the best candidate experience possible has been a win win for everyone. They have a keen eye for what it takes to grow a top tier team at any stage”

Corey Bertram

CTO

“We saw a dramatic decrease in the time it took to hire candidates when we started working with Lunch. They sent us a steady stream of high quality folks who already had been briefed about Kaiyo and we're excited about what we were doing. We were able to focus on finding the best fit amongst good options.”

Executive Search

We partner with organizations of all sizes to identify and hire executives who have the right blend of expertise, leadership, and values to make a major impact on your organization. We engage with Executive Search clients on a retained basis. Most searches run from 60-90 days, and include regular weekly meetings, custom processes to fit your org, and top to bottom candidate management. Executive Search can exist alone or in tandem with a full team buildout.

Individual Contributor Search

We are experts in finding best-in-class engineering, design, and product management talent for specific roles within your company. We tap our vast network of active candidates and employ a meticulous selection process in identifying passive talent. Everyone you speak with has been selected by a member of our recruiting staff, and you’re only seeing the best of the best. We engage with clients for IC searches on a contingent basis, meaning you only pay up if you hire someone we introduce you to.

Full Team Buildout

We collaborate with leading venture firms and early-stage founders to build high-performing teams from scratch. We leverage our extensive network and deep industry expertise to assemble high performing teams that are aligned with your vision, enabling rapid growth within a 3-6 month engagement.
