The Startup Hiring Platform with $0 Placement Fees.
Every open engineering seat slows shipping. Stop sifting through hundreds of AI-generated resumes or paying $25,000 agency commissions. Vetta matches your startup with proven problem-solvers ready to ship in 13 days.
Traditional Recruiting Is Broken for Startups
Founders lose hours every week fighting two terrible extremes.
Post on LinkedIn or Wellfound, and automated bot scripts flood your inbox with 300+ unvetted applications in 48 hours.
Founders and CTOs become full-time recruiters, sorting keywords instead of building product and closing customers.
Traditional recruiters charge 20% to 30% of first-year salary upon hire. Hiring three senior engineers drains $90,000+ from your seed runway.
Recruiters are incentivized to push candidates with high salary demands rather than candidates with the exact problem-solving fit.
How Vetta Solves Startup Hiring
Everything early-stage teams need to build an elite engineering team without the overhead.
13-Day Time to Hire
Skip the 44-to-62 day industry drag. Vetta delivers 5–10 pre-screened matches ready to interview within days of posting your problem statement.
100% $0 Placement Fees
Never pay contingent commissions. Starter is $99/mo and Team is $349/mo. Keep your venture funding in your product and runway.
Built-in Hiring Pipeline Kanban
No need to pay $6,000/year for Ashby or Greenhouse. Vetta includes built-in pipeline tracking, STAR scorecards, and unlimited 100% free guest interviewer seats.
STAR-Structured Outcomes
Evaluate engineers on what they've actually shipped—architecture decisions, system scale, and execution—before spending founder time on calls.
7-Day Freshness Guarantee
Never reach out to passive candidates or stale profiles. Candidates in Vetta's active pool re-confirm availability every 7 days.
