HeadRace offers a technology platform that connects employers to a curated network of experienced recruiters and lets recruiters discover and bid on opportunities. The product uniquely displays recruiters' placement records to give employers confidence in recruiter quality and supports collaboration between recruiters to speed hires. Its software also helps independent recruiters reduce overhead such as legal and payment processing and supports retained executive, container, and contingent searches. Founded and led by three former Uber Marketplace leaders, the company spent months in private beta placing roles across functions and is now broadly available to recruiters and employers. HeadRace positions itself to democratize hiring by bringing network effects and modern product experience to an industry it describes as inefficient and outmoded. Financially, the company recently closed a $6M seed round to support growth and go‑to‑market efforts.
