MISSION

Delivering hands-on recruiting support to help software engineering teams grow and thrive

My SERVICES

I partner with early-stage, high-growth companies on their engineering hiring. Whether bandwidth is tight or you’re scaling fast, I act as a true extension of your team — bringing care and urgency to every search.

  • A fractional engagement where I plug directly into your team: attending standups, working your ATS, and owning the recruiting function alongside your hiring managers. Available in 10, 20, or 30-hour weekly blocks. All the horsepower of an internal recruiter, without the full-time overhead.

  • An exclusive engagement where I dedicate focused time and priority sourcing to your most critical roles.

  • No upfront cost. You pay only when I find the right person.

My APPROACH

I dive into your business, product and team dynamics to define exactly what success looks like for each specific role. 

Intake & Alignment

I identify and vet high-caliber talent so your team only interviews candidates who are precise technical and cultural match.

Sourcing & Screening

Quality over quantity. You receive a select group of top-tier engineers who are ready to hit the ground running. 

Curated Shortlist

I partner closely with candidates, providing clear communication and tailored preparation to ensure a smooth, professional, and white-glove experience. 

Candidate Preparation

I help you navigate offers and close exceptional talent through a process that feels both authentic and competitive.

Consultative Closing

As your needs evolve, I flex with you, serving as a long-term resource for your team’s growth.

FOUNDER

KELLI CLEARY

A San Francisco native with over a decade in technical recruiting.

Through my experience at companies of all sizes-from large enterprises to early-stage startups-I’ve seen firsthand where the bottlenecks occur in technical hiring. I founded TechCity Talent to help tech companies overcome these challenges in the field I know best: identifying exceptional software engineering talent.

While my roots are in San Francisco, I work with companies wherever great tech is being built.
