About Talented Recruiting

Hi, I'm Danielle Marie, founder of Talented Recruiting.

Over the past decade, I’ve helped build early teams at some of the most ambitious startups out there—companies with motivating missions, visionary founders, and incredibly high standards. I started Talented Recruiting in 2014 because I saw firsthand how hard it is to hire well at high-growth companies—and how powerful it is when you get it right.

We specialize in recruiting for Engineering, Product, Design, and Marketing—and more than 85% of our placements stay for 3+ years. That’s not just a win for retention—it’s a signal that we know how to match people with the kind of environments where they can do the best work of their careers.

What draws me (and my clients) to the teams we build together is a consistent set of qualities:

• A motivating and inspiring mission

• Incredible talent—smart, collaborative, and deeply committed

• Strong leadership across the C-Suite, often led by a founder with a relentless vision and work ethic

• A culture that can prioritize, make tradeoffs, and move fast without sacrificing quality

• Hybrid work that actually works—with the best of both remote and in-person collaboration

• A company that’s a rocket ship—but one that builds intentionally, not chaotically

• High standards for results—delivered fast, but with precision and care

The culture we’re best at hiring for is one where people are:

• Humble, but driven

• Hungry to grow

• Obsessed with their craft and personal growh

• Excited to work at a best-in-class organization alongside others who feel the same

If that sounds like your team—or the team you want to build—you're in the right place.

Let’s build something great together.
