About

At EBAS, we partner with fast-growing startups across the US and around the world, to build high-impact teams across GTM, Marketing, Product, and Operations. We are not your standard recruitment firm, but foremost a talent consultancy trusted by tier 1 VCs such as Sequoia, a16z, and Benchmark, for fast, high-impact hiring aligned to their mission. We’re not volume driven. Our focus is on precision, quality, and long-term fit. We work closely with founders and hiring leaders to deeply understand their business, their growth stage, and what “great” truly looks like in each role. From there, we map, engage, and deliver talent that doesn’t just tick boxes, but drives real outcomes. For candidates, that means access to some of the most exciting scaling companies, with opportunities that are thoughtfully matched, not mass-sent. For clients, it means fewer CVs, stronger alignment, and hires that make a measurable impact. If you’re building something ambitious or want to be part of it, let’s connect.
