Alloyed

Alloyed is an AI-native recruiting firm built by senior operators who have constructed the teams that founders are hiring for. The company specialises in serving VC-backed startups by combining advanced artificial intelligence, data analytics, and human expertise to transform the traditional recruitment process. Rather than flooding inboxes with generic pipelines, Alloyed delivers pre-screened, founder-ready candidates where every introduction is worth the conversation. The platform operates on a distinctive philosophy: AI provides leverage and market mapping, whilst senior operators make the critical judgement calls about candidate fit and readiness.

Alloyed's core recruitment focus centres on technical hiring for early-stage technology companies, particularly roles in infrastructure engineering, machine learning, backend development, and founding engineer positions. The company works across software engineering disciplines, from distributed systems and cloud infrastructure to AI and machine learning specialisations. Their expertise spans the full spectrum of startup hiring needs, from initial founding team members through early-stage scaling phases.

The company serves founders backed by leading venture capital firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, General Catalyst, and Y Combinator. Alloyed operates with a command-centre approach to recruitment, providing complete pipeline visibility, multi-channel sourcing across LinkedIn and email, and real-time funnel analytics. Founders choose Alloyed because the platform eliminates the manual filtering work typically required in recruitment, allowing founders to remain focused on building their companies rather than spending time on part-time recruiting responsibilities. The combination of proprietary technology, market intelligence, and operator-calibrated screening creates a recruitment experience specifically designed for the speed and quality standards of venture-backed startups.
