// ABOUT HIRED
We built the agency we wished existed.
AI labs were trying to staff frontier work with hiring processes built for 2015. Months to fill a role. Résumés that said nothing about whether someone could actually rank a model output. We started Hired to close that gap — and to pay the people doing the work what the work is worth.
// THE THESIS
Speed and rigor aren't opposites.
Most agencies pick one. They're either fast and careless or thorough and slow. We rebuilt the pipeline so the screen happens before you ever see a name — which is what makes a six-day shortlist possible without lowering the bar.
Test on the real task
We screen contractors against the exact work — ranking, labeling, eval design — not a proxy interview.
Pay for expertise
We publish rate bands so nobody negotiates blind. Specialist work gets specialist pay.
Stay accountable
Quality is tracked after placement, not just at the handoff. If it drifts, we fix it.
// BY THE NUMBERS
Dashed figures are illustrative placeholders; the rate reflects market data for vetted specialist work.
// THE TEAM
Small team, deep network.
Founder Name

The bar is simple: would we put this person on our own team? If not, they don't reach yours.
