Series Build
Helping startups hire exceptional talent
What Founders Think of Series Build (2)
I have made dozens of introductions to Tova and they always start with the statement that Tova Angsuwat is the best startup recruiter in our ecosystem - hands down.
I have worked with Tova on both sides - being placed in a role myself and as a hiring manager. Tova made the hiring process straightforward and manageable. She broke things down clearly, gave practical advice and asked the right questions to help us figure out what we really needed - ultimately, most importantly, making the right hire!
Tova understands the unique challenges of hiring for startups, brings great energy and was a delight to work with. She's also one of the best networked people you'd meet - particularly when it comes to the "swiss army knife" archetype of hire that we so often need in startups. Iโd recommend Series Build to any founder or CEO looking to make a confident, high-impact hire.
I had a phenomenal experience working with Tova. She truly takes the time to understand not just the skills you're looking for but also the fit and dynamics of an early-stage startup team, bringing us an exceptional pool of candidates who were both high-quality and genuinely passionate about startups. We couldnโt be happier with the perfect match we found through this process!

Flat fee based on first year's salary package, payable when the candidate signs their offer. Series Build is one of the few search firms that establishes a fee cap at the start of every engagement.
