Hedgy Icon

Top-tier engineer with a strong product sense. Great communicator + track record of building and scaling products. Uber Eats would not exist without them.
Staff Product Manager, 6/15/2025
We worked on a giant refactor of a legacy system that had to support 10x scale. Would work with them again in a heartbeat.

    What companies are saying

    Hedgy members are in the top 5% of individuals we interview. I’m always excited to get on a call with a Hedgy member because I know it’ll be a quality conversation.

    Every Hedgy referral has been outstanding – the kind of talent you’d typically spend months searching for. It’s clear that they put great care into curating their member community.

    Recruit differently

    Exclusive talent. Upfront insights.

    Pre-vetted individuals
    Every member has either been personally invited by the Hedgy founders or nominated by another member. Think of this as flipping when the reference check happens: first, not last.
    Upfront expectations
    Understand comp expectations from Hedgy members before opting-in to an intro. Both sides save time and avoid an awkward conversation.
    Meet great candidates faster
    Chat with candidates before you publicly post a job. Build momentum for a hire right away by running a quick search on Hedgy to find a few folks to chat with.
    Build your employer brand
    If you’re a growing startup, you’re probably still building your brand. Hedgy is a great way to meet individuals who otherwise wouldn’t have come across you.

    Hire smarter, not harder

    Frequently asked questions

    What type of candidates will I find on Hedgy?

    Hedgy runs on member recommendations. Each member has either been member-nominated as a top teammate or personally invited by the founders.

    How much does Hedgy cost?

    There are no upfront costs - reviewing members, requesting intros and interviewing candidates is free. If an introduction leads to a hire, the employer is responsible for a predetermined fee - this is typically <15% of the first year salary stated in the offer letter.

    What if the hire doesn’t work out?

    The fee will be refunded if the Hedgy member quits or is terminated within 90 days of their official start date.

    What if we already know the candidate?

    The fee will be waived if you have documentation that the Hedgy member already had a pre-existing relationship with the company (e.g. already applied to a role) within 90 days prior to the intro request date.

    Vision

    Hedgy is for doers.

    Great teammates care deeply about their work and the people around them. They don’t worry about marketing themselves 24/7 because they’re obsessed (in a good way) with what they’re doing. This doesn’t always translate into polished promo packets or face-time with execs, but it’s ultimately what makes great products and successful companies. We built Hedgy to serve people who are genuinely trying to do their life’s work.

    Hire now.
