300+ roles filled across niche tech and startups
Built for teams building intelligent systems.
Silicon Hills is a specialized recruiting firm for AI, computer vision, embedded hardware, and robotics startups. We find the builders, not just the resumes.
Why Founders Choose Us
Founders and technical leaders at AI startups face unique challenges:
-
Hiring drains your best engineers
Every hour a CTO spends in a hiring loop is an hour not spent on the product. We run the search so your engineers stay heads-down.
-
Generalists don't speak the language
A recruiter who can't explain the difference between various computer vision technologies will send you the wrong candidates, every time.
-
Early hires define your architecture
A wrong hire in year one creates years of technical and cultural debt. We prioritize long-term fit over short-term fill rates.
-
Top AI builders aren't looking - they're heads-down building
Reaching them requires deep relationships in the labs and networks where they actually spend their time.
Silicon Hills Talent addresses these challenges with precision, speed, and deep domain expertise. We help AI startups compete for top talent, build foundational teams, and accelerate growth without compromise.
Testimonials
Trusted by Leadership
I had the opportunity to work with Kirsten during my time at Meta. She brings a level of process discipline that makes a real difference. Every step of the recruiting workflow, from initial candidate screening to final hiring manager presentations, is structured to protect everyone's time. Hiring managers receive only high-signal candidates who have been rigorously vetted, which means fewer wasted interviews and faster decisions. Candidate experience always remains a top priority, which reflects well on the organizations she represents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kirsten.
Kate Fiefer
Director of Talent Acquisition
We've worked with a lot of recruiters across our portfolio. Silicon Hills stands apart because they think like operators. The technical depth of their screening means candidates can actually do the job - and that creates real outcomes.
