What we do

Focused search, not mass sourcing

Every mandate runs on contingency — you pay when the right person joins. Pick a tab to see how each stage works.

Specialist hiring

Mid to senior roles in tech, operations, and product — a targeted search, not a generalist net.

  • Role scoped on a structured intake call
  • Sourcing built around your exact must-haves
  • Market-rate guidance included

Screened shortlists

Every profile is spoken to before it reaches you — fewer resumes, more conversations worth having.

  • Phone/video screen before submission
  • Fit against must-haves, not just keywords
  • Notes on motivation and availability included

Offer to joining

Negotiation support, offer rollout, and follow-through — the search isn't done until they show up.

  • Salary negotiation support
  • Offer rollout coordination
  • Joining-day follow-up

How it works

Five steps, one point of contact

No account managers, no handoffs between teams.

01

Intake

A short call to get the role and must-haves right before sourcing begins.

02

Source

Direct outreach and network referrals, built for roles job boards alone don't fill.

03

Screen

Every candidate is screened before you see them, so your time goes to real conversations.

04

Coordinate

Interview scheduling and feedback loops handled end to end while you focus on the decision.

05

Close

Offer support and joining follow-through — closed when they start, not when the letter goes out.

Why it's different

Doing it yourself vs. working with Etlo

Not a knock on in-house hiring — just where a focused outside search tends to help most.

Who's behind it

Built by someone who's done the work

Founder

Ravindra Reddy

Background across talent acquisition and HR operations, including hands-on recruitment work and statutory/compliance exposure through project-based HR consulting. Etlo runs on that same discipline, applied to one search at a time — direct access, no layers in between, and a small number of mandates handled well rather than a large pipeline handled thin.

Questions

Before you reach out

Contingency-based, with no upfront fee — the specifics are worked out per mandate. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.

Usually 3–5 active mandates at a time, so each search gets proper sourcing and screening rather than being one of dozens in a queue.

Mid to senior roles across engineering, product, operations, sales leadership, and HR — mainly for growing companies without a large in-house recruiting team.

Usually within a day or two of the intake call, once the role and budget are confirmed.
