Hiring breaks down in predictable ways. Agencies optimize for volume over quality. Internal teams need months to build momentum. And most hiring happens in bursts, which makes fixed headcount expensive.
We built Fredo to solve that. Focused search with the speed of an agency and the judgment of an internal team. We've been on both sides—we know what works.
