Building Teams That Last
Gold Talent helps Edtech startups make hiring decisions that stick. We find people who deliver impact, align with your values, and stay long-term.
What Sets Us Apart
Anyone can source candidates and send you resumes. That's table stakes.
The hard part? Finding the right candidate with the right skills for the right need, and making sure they deliver lasting impact.
That's where most recruiters stop. We don't.
Define the Need
We uncover what problem you're actually solving for, not just what role you think you need to fill.
Identify Success
We map the specific competencies and behaviors that predict success in your unique environment.
Assess What Matters
We design interview processes that test for those competencies, reducing bias and increasing long-term impact.
The result? You avoid hiring shiny candidates who look great on paper but don't deliver.
Our Comprehensive Approach
We provide end-to-end recruitment services that go beyond traditional hiring to ensure the right fit for your organization.
Recruiting for Edtech, By Someone Who Gets Edtech
Gold Talent was founded on a simple premise: Edtech companies deserve a recruiting partner who actually understands their world.
We know the challenges of mission-driven startups, the importance of values alignment, and the nuances of hiring for roles that didn't exist five years ago.
What drives us: Great hiring isn't about filling roles fast. It's about finding people who believe in your mission, bring the right skills, and grow with your company.
