The right hire.
The ones you can't reach.

The candidates we send aren't applying anywhere. They don't respond to cold outreach. As a recruiter, VC, & coach, Cyrus spent ten years earning trust you can't buy.

The pool

Who's available
right now.

These 6 are a snapshot.

Every person here came through a personal relationship: a portfolio company, a placement, our coaching programme for tech professionals, or a decade of community-building. Not a database.

The process

Simple by design.

01
Tell us what you need

A short conversation. You describe the role, team, and timeline. We confirm whether we have relevant candidates.

02
Receive curated introductions

We send 2–4 matched profiles with CVs and full context. You choose who to meet. We facilitate and manage the process.

03
Hire. Then pay.

Flat fee on confirmed hire only. Mid: $8–10K. Senior: $12–18K. Every candidate is personally known to us. Not sourced, not keyword-matched. If we can't fill the role, you pay nothing.

You carry zero financial risk.
We only get paid
when you hire.

No upfront costs. No subscription. No percentage of salary. A single flat fee: $8–18K depending on seniority, only on a confirmed hire. If no hire materialises, you owe nothing.

The alternative

Most recruiting is volume.
We take the opposite approach.

You've felt it: a hundred CVs, three worth reading, two who ghosted. Traditional agencies charge 15–25% of salary for that experience. We charge a flat fee and send four people worth your time.

Why RemoteStreet

Built on a decade
of placements.

I'm Cyrus Yari. A decade placing tech talent across every function: engineering, product, design, data, sales, leadership. 500+ placements. 90%+ placement rate. Built entirely on results and word of mouth.

My background: Tesla, Silicon Valley Bank, Codesmith (where I lectured on hiring), and currently General Partner at rational.fund. Both sides of the table at some of tech's most selective organisations.

RemoteStreet is deliberately small. No associates, no junior recruiters, no volume targets. Every mandate is handled personally. That's not a limitation. It's the point.

The pool comes from my network, my vetted tech communities, and a coaching programme I've run for years. Every introduction is personal. I know the candidate, not just their CV. These are not people you'll find on a job board.

Quality over volume
We take on fewer mandates than most. Every introduction is deliberate. Our focus is signal, not noise.
Thinking in decades
This business grows through successful placements and word of mouth only. No volume targets. No spray-and-pray.
Skin in the game
We don't get paid unless we place. No retainers, no upfront fees. Our incentives are aligned: we win when you win.
Both sides of the table
We run a coaching programme for tech professionals. That means we know candidates at a depth no database can match: their motivations, their gaps, what they're optimising for. And we know exactly what hiring managers need on the other side.
Off-market by design
Most roles we fill are never posted publicly. Our pipeline is private by nature. Clients aren't competing with 200 other companies for the same shortlist.

In their words

Results that speak
for themselves.

"We'd been searching for three months through two agencies with nothing to show for it. RemoteStreet sent us three candidates in a week. We hired one. The quality was on a different level entirely."

VP of Engineering · Series B Fintech

"The introduction came with full context, not just a CV. Cyrus understood our culture, our stage, and exactly what we needed. First candidate we met, we hired."

Co-Founder & CEO · YC-backed Startup

"We've used the big firms. We've used contingency recruiters. Nothing comes close in terms of signal-to-noise. Every candidate was genuinely hireable."

Head of Talent · Growth-stage SaaS
