The story
Why Masarna exists.
“Every growing company needs serious recruiting. Almost none can afford to build it in-house.”
Hiring breaks the same way at every growing company. Pipelines dry up. Agency resumes pile up unread. Recruiters quit after 90 days. Hiring managers ghost candidates. The pattern repeats so often it stops feeling like a surprise.
Every team in that pattern needs serious recruiting expertise. None of them are ready to spend $300,000 a year to bring it in-house. So they get stuck choosing between agencies that don't care and ATS subscriptions that don't help.
Masarna is the third option. Senior recruiters embedded in your hiring loop, supported by software that makes their work visible, paired with AI that compresses the operational overhead. Not a vendor. Not a tool. A real team — accountable, senior, and built to operate without supervision.
Background
Where our team comes from.
Global executive search
Senior partners on our team have led C-suite searches across CEO, CFO, CTO, and CPO placements globally — and built and trained recruiting teams across the US, Europe, India, and other regions.
Startup recruiting depth
Years embedded as the recruiting partner of choice for early- and growth-stage technology companies. 75–80% placement success rate across GTM, technical, executive, and operations roles.
AI-native operating model
We've built recruiting automation on top of modern AI tools — compressing time-to-fill while raising candidate quality. The platform is the productized version of those workflows.
Coverage
What we run.
We're deliberate about the engagements we take. If you're inside this scope, we move fast. If you're outside it, we'll tell you on the discovery call and refer you to a partner who's better suited.

Our principles
How we operate.
Senior recruiters only
We don't pad our team with junior offshore recruiters. Every search at Masarna is run by someone with 8+ years of relevant experience.
Humans own the decisions
AI helps us move faster — summaries, sourcing leverage, weekly reporting. But humans run every screen, evaluate every candidate, and make every recommendation.
Honest scope, honest answers
If you're outside our fit, we'll tell you on the discovery call and refer you to someone better suited. We'd rather lose the deal than take engagements we can't crush.
Month-to-month, always
No long-term contracts. Ever. If we're not earning our keep, you should be able to walk.
Your team
