Overview

Hunt Club automates candidate sourcing, funnel management, communications and scheduling using AI matching algorithms and a robust social graph paired with dedicated recruiting teams. The platform scans an in-house database of over 7 million job seekers, enriches profiles from more than 20 sources, and leverages about 20,000 vetted business and industry experts for warm introductions. Hunt Club typically generates 80–100 initial prospects for a search and narrows them to 5–7 finalists that clients actually see; many roles are not posted on external job boards. The company has worked with over 1,000 customers, including Gopuff, Upwork and Circle K, and has placed over 150 roles for Gopuff alone. Revenue grew 156% year-over-year from 2021 to 2022. Management plans to double down on product R&D, expand the company’s national footprint, provide more granular candidate insights, and reach a $100 million run rate within 15–18 months as headcount surpasses 200. Hunt Club is a tech-enabled talent and recruitment company led by CEO Nick Cromydas that places leadership roles (director and above) across sales, marketing, product, finance, customer success, HR/people, operations, and other functions for fast-growing businesses. The company operates a network approach, focusing on identifying quality candidates through warm referrals served by its tech-enabled recruiting team. Its Talent Expert Network has over 12,000 experts and the company says it connects 6 million quality candidates through people and technology. Hunt Club works with high-growth startups and unicorns including gopuff, Typeform, G2, Nerdy, Dollar Shave Club, Terminus, and Oak Street Health. Financially, the company completed a $10M Series A led by Teamworthy Ventures, which complements a prior $4.5M seed round. The new funding will be used to grow its candidate referral technology and expand its recruiting team.
