Bayview Talent

Bayview Talent is a boutique recruitment firm founded and led by Sara Lynn Roberts, who brings over a decade of experience and more than 75 placements across dozens of startups. Sara specialises in finding talent for roles that did not exist two years ago, positioning herself as the recruiter to engage when a mis-hire will make or break a business in the early-stage startup environment.

The company offers three core service models tailored to startup needs. Foundational Search (Retained) provides dedicated, high-touch search processes for mission-critical hires like VP and Head-level roles, Lead Engineers, or foundational Go-To-Market positions. Embedded Talent Partner (Monthly) functions as a fractionalised internal Head of Talent, plugging directly into the startup's team, Slack, and ATS to build the hiring engine from the ground up. The Search Reset (Contained) addresses stalled searches by recalibrating role requirements, fixing outbound messaging, and delivering high-signal shortlists within 21 days.

Bayview Talent has earned strong testimonials from founders and leaders at companies including Gorgias, Great Question, Routable, Hockeystack, and StrongDM, with clients praising Sara's market knowledge, efficiency, quality focus, and ability to source from networks often not actively job seeking.
