About ErthTech Talent
ErthTech Talent is a recruitment agency specializing in placing top talent at ClimateTech startups and scaleups.
We believe the need for the right people is core to building a successful venture, and failure is not an option in the climate fight.
The challenge is that headhunting fees are often prohibitive. We are here to change that. With our Flexi-Cost Recruiting Model, early-stage startups can access headhunting services for a fraction of the cost charged by most agencies.
As they scale, we offer discounts for Series B+ companies who want to work with a partner – not another mercenary.
