How hiring through Tribe works
Tell us on Monday, see profiles by Friday
Tell us about the role. We bring two or three people who have done the job, you interview them, and your pick starts in about two weeks.
Four steps to a new hire
You pay nothing until someone starts.

You tell us about the role
What gets done, which tools and which hours. A fifteen minute call or a short email is enough.

What to tell us about the role
A few sentences is enough. These details shape the shortlist for each kind of team.
How to describe the role
Ecommerce brands
Name your store platform, the queues or books you want covered, and the dates your year gets busy.
Small US companies
List the jobs that land on you every week. If you are not sure which role that adds up to, say so and we will tell you.
Agencies
Say what the work is, which tools you deliver in, and whether this person will talk to your clients. Senior specialists do that directly, and mid level specialists do it with cover.
Funded startups
Give us the stack, who they report to, and what good looks like at day thirty, when you decide to keep, swap or stop.
What the first thirty days look like
- Day 1
Access and introductions
You add them to your tools. We send the onboarding checklist so nothing is waiting on a password.
- Day 2 to 4
They shadow and write it down
They watch the work happen and turn it into a document. You get a process written by the person who will run it.
- Day 5
First piece of work, reviewed by you
Small and reversible on purpose. You tell them what to change and they change it.
- Day 10
Thirty minute check-in with us
We ask you what is working and what is not, separately from them, so problems surface early.
- Day 30
Keep, swap or stop
Keep going, ask for a replacement at no cost, or stop with thirty days notice. The choice is yours.
Questions about the process
How long until someone starts?
Choose from specialists we have already vetted, or have us search for the role. Someone from the bench can usually start within two weeks of your first call. For a new search, you get two or three profiles within five business days, and most clients interview the following week.
Who manages them day to day?
You do. They report to someone on your team, join your standups and work your tickets. We handle contract, payroll, equipment and cover, and we check in with both sides monthly.
Can I start with a trial instead of a full month?
You can ask any shortlisted candidate for a paid trial task before you commit, and we will arrange it. We do not run free trials, because the person doing the work should be paid for it.
What happens at thirty days?
Nothing automatic. If the fit is wrong, tell us inside the first month and we shortlist again at no cost and stop billing the placement that did not work. Otherwise it rolls on monthly with thirty days notice either way.
Twenty minutes is enough to start
Bring one job you want handled. You leave the call knowing the rate, the timeline and whether we have the people.
