I fill the Niche roles 99% of recruiters can’t!
about Us
Chris is a three-time founding recruiter and former corporate recruiter who has built a career helping companies scale high-performing internal teams. Chris began his career in-house, learning firsthand what it takes to recruit at speed and at scale inside fast-moving organizations. Over time, Chris transitioned into independent search work to partner directly with companies that require deeper recruiting support than traditional agencies can offer.
Chris’s experience spans both early-stage and late-stage environments. He has recruited for AngelList and YC-backed startups still defining their product and market, as well as for larger companies such as Uber and Coinbase that demanded operational rigor, funnel clarity, and hiring systems capable of scaling globally. Across roles, functions, and stages, one constant remained: Chris consistently ranked as a top-performing recruiter with strong metrics, exceptional closing rates, and high hiring manager satisfaction.
After years working across different hiring environments, [Name] identified a persistent gap in the market. The roles that mattered most — the niche, technical, or mission-critical positions that actually move the roadmap forward — were also the roles companies struggled the most to fill. Traditional recruiters lacked the context. Internal teams lacked the time. And founders lacked the bandwidth to source, screen, and calibrate.
​
Chris founded Elegant Labs Talent Solutions firm to solve that problem.
​
His work centers on partnering with companies that need a recruiter who understands the nuance of hiring and can translate executive intent into high-signal candidates. [Name] operates with speed, calibrates quickly, and is obsessive about context — because success in niche hiring has more to do with understanding than volume.
​
Having worked at the intersection of founders, hiring managers, and candidates, [Name] understands that job descriptions rarely capture what a team actually needs. What matters is the impact the role must drive, the environment it will operate in, the technical skills required to execute, and the business constraints it must navigate. That is the level of alignment Chris optimizes for.
​
At a time when the hardest roles define the trajectory of a product or company, Chris's mission is simple: help teams hire the talent that enables them to build, scale, and win.
