As a seasoned venture capitalist and technology executive, I have worked with a wide variety of recruiting resources and have not found any of them to be as skilled, productive, cost-effective and absolutely great to work with as High Tech ventures. Simply put, their model works. My cost per hire percentages are down significantly and the quality of candidates I see across all functions in my organization is up significantly. We have made some outstanding hires over the past year with the help of Josh and the High Tech Ventures team. The team is committed, professional, incredibly thorough when vetting candidates, and pleasant to work with; the ability to leverage recruiting resources “on demand” to meet our hiring demands is critical in a growing business like ours and they always deliver. The thing that impresses me most is that we never seem to miss a beat if the load is one hundred requisitions or one. I get the same level of dedication and commitment and the same quality candidates in the same kind of turnaround time. The customer service is second to none, skills are outstanding, candidate quality is high, and I am a very satisfied client. I look at Josh and the High Tech Ventures team, as an extension of my staff. I cannot recommend them more highly.

I have worked with High Tech Ventures for over 12 years on 4 different startups. Theres no firm better than the High Tech Ventures team to source a highly skilled founding engineering team — and I mean no one. They invest the time to meet with the technical founders to understand what the critical technical needs and experience levels are needed to succeed.

I have had the pleasure to work with Josh and High Tech Ventures forever. I always give Josh a call when I use a search firm. High Tech Ventures has provided many of the best hires that I have made. I could not recommend High Tech Ventures more highly.

High Tech Ventures is the go-to partner to find high-value talent in the Boston area and beyond. They have been fully plugged into the Boston Tech ecosystem for several decades and have been helpful thought partners to us at Portal in our search for new senior team members.

Unlike most recruiters, High Tech Ventures is knowledgeable and comfortable with the volatile, geeky experience of the tech company startup years. High Tech Ventures doesn't go through the motions for a fee; they collaborate on team conceptualization and formation.

Steven Kane

High Tech Ventures has the highest success rate of any recruiting firm we have used. The candidates we get are well screened and match not just on technical capabilities, but are a good fit for our corporate culture as well. High Tech Ventures looks at the whole picture before they send us candidates.

High Tech Ventures have been pivotal to the launch and growth of our business over the past three years. They've placed several critical technologists, engineers, and managers across our business – and have done an exceptional job at understanding our needs and moving very quickly.

High Tech Ventures isn't just a recruitment team, they're a knowledgeable resource and a trusted partner. Talent aggregation is a war. Go to battle with High Tech Ventures on your side.
