Meet The Job Sauce

We never planned to be recruiters - and that's exactly why we're different. Our story starts with a simple belief: helping people find the right job shouldn't suck.

Our Story 'Recruiting, No Thank You'

From LinkedIn to Launch
Scott left LinkedIn in 2014 with an obsession: there had to be a better way to help people land their dream jobs. While LinkedIn was focused on building databases, Scott was busy building relationships. The Job Sauce began as a career coaching company, helping one person at a time navigate their journey.

Building the Foundation
Enter Eric, fresh from helping launch Eventbrite's most successful vertical (and ironically hoping to never update his resume again). Together, we built a career services business that actually worked - the kind where people referred their friends because they couldn't believe the experience they had.

The Pivot (Or: How We Became "Ew, Recruiters")
Then 2020 hit. COVID knocked our business down and something interesting happened. A tech executive friend came to us frustrated: "They're slow. They're expensive. The quality is terrible. You guys understand intent. You know when people are looking. They trust you.
You should do recruiting."Our response? "Ew, recruiting." (Yes, really.)

The Anti-Recruiter Method
We built The Job Sauce without knowing how traditional recruiters operate. Instead, we applied what we did know:

- How to create unbelievable experiencesWhat founders actually need (we've been there)
- How to build trust-based relationships
- Why speed matters in high-growth companies

Today
We're still the anti-recruiters. When you work with us, you get partners who understand your business, not just your job description. You get founders who've raised rounds, built teams, and felt the pain of bad hires. Most importantly, you get people who still believe that helping someone find the right job shouldn't suck.
