The people who move companies forward.
Metrix Talent Solutions is a search firm built for PR agencies and tech startups. We place the communications and marketing leaders who set the trajectory.
You don't have a volume problem. You have a fit problem.
Hundreds of applicants, almost none who can actually do the work. Below are the hiring problems PR agencies and tech startups bring us most, and exactly how we solve them.
Plenty of applicants, few true fits
How we solve it, We screen for demonstrated output, not keywords. You see a short list of calibrated finalists, never a resume dump.
Candidates who can't actually do the work
How we solve it, Every candidate is pressure-tested on real scenarios from your world before they ever reach your calendar.
Nobody with the right media relationships
How we solve it, We map reporters, beats, and verticals, then source comms people who already own those relationships.
No agency or client-facing experience
How we solve it, We know the difference between someone who can run an account and someone who's only ever been staffed on one.
Turnover and burnout forcing emergency hires
How we solve it, Warm, pre-qualified benches for your recurring roles, so an exit becomes a two-week problem instead of a two-quarter one.
Senior people buried in screening
How we solve it, We take sourcing, screening, and scheduling off your leaders' plates. They only meet the final few.
Knows PR, but not your vertical
How we solve it, We recruit by category, not just craft: B2B SaaS, fintech, health, climate, consumer, and more.
Needs to operate with almost no ramp-up
How we solve it, We prioritize operators who've done this exact motion at your stage and can contribute in week one.
Compensation and location mismatch
How we solve it, We benchmark comp and work model up front, so offers land instead of stalling at the finish line.
Strategic and hands-on in one person
How we solve it, The rare profile that can build the plan and execute it, that's the search we run most often.
Three ways to work. One standard of care.
Sharp, on-demand hiring.
When you need one critical hire, fast. We work the market, surface aligned candidates, and only get paid when you do.
Our most affordable model.
Retain us monthly and pay significantly lower success fees, a much lower all-in cost than contingent. Adding a new SAE, two AMs, or a relationship hire is a one-line ask.
Embedded talent partners.
When you're scaling and need a team. We plug into your hiring stack as a long-term partner across roles and quarters.

Talent ops, built like product.
