At A5 Talent Finders, we help startups and high-growth companies build world-class teams without the burden of traditional recruiting fees. Founded by Shumit Ahmed, a veteran recruiter who has scaled SaaS and fintech companies like DFX, CB Insights, and GEP, we bring proven expertise and a results-driven approach to hiring.
Startups and high-growth companies face critical hiring challenges:
• Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of salary per hire, which is unsustainable for early-stage companies.
• Founders and executives lose 30–40% of their time on hiring instead of building and scaling their business.
• Hiring is unpredictable and slow. Agencies are transactional, job boards are saturated, and in-house recruiters are costly overhead.
• As a result, startups struggle to attract, engage, and close top talent quickly and affordably, directly slowing revenue growth.
