Yinon Ravid - CEO at Albert
Working with Match Relevant and Jake has been an outstanding experience. While other recruiting firms send lots of candidates, the Match Relevant team sets itself apart by truly understanding one's business first and then relentlessly searching for the right candidates using that understanding of the business. The candidates are consistently strong fits - extremely helpful when trying to quickly scale a venture-backed startup. Thanks Jake and team!

As a Startup CEO, my biggest challenge is finding highly talented software engineers. Jake, the founder of Match Relevant has helped us build 3 startups over the last 8 years. Trust and transparency are the reasons we keep coming back.
Brett O'brien - CEO at Flyr
While building our proprietary social mobile video platform, we needed to expand our development team quickly. Jake and his team helped us hire a key developer resource quickly.

Cody Fletcher - CEO at Yolocare
We typically don't use recruiters. However, after trying on our own for some time we decided to give Match Relevant a shot. They were flexible in their approach and we saw a string of good applicants within a few days. Happily, we landed a great developer who was instrumental in helping us build out our online video platform. www.oculu.com
John Cecil - CEO at Oculu
Match Relevant did something special for us in our search for technical talent - they took the mystery out of the process. We all knew what we wanted as far as our end product was concerned but we didn't know what skill sets were needed to deliver this. After sitting down with Match Relevant they were able to translate our project needs into a technical skill set profile. This not only gave us great assurance but removed endless unknowns from our hiring process. For the time saved and choices given I am deeply grateful to Match Relevant.
Jay Fishman - CEO at Ground 2 Table
While leading the technical team as CTO at Streetfire.net, I engaged Match Relevant to help us recruit "hard to find" developer positions. Their technical knowledge was deeper than typical recruiters, and their attention to detail of understanding our roles helped us avoid making some costly hiring mistakes.
Jeremy Farber - Co-Founder & CTO at StreetFire.net
We've been working with Match Relevant since their inception. We found them online and haven't looked back! As the CIO of WeatherFlow, we've had success working with their Recruitment services in finding quality software engineers. With great attention to detail, we've hired candidates from Massachusetts to Florida.
David St. John - Co-Founder (CIO) at WeatherFlow
Apptivo is the ERP for small business. As the CEO, my number one goal is recruiting. It's also, the toughest part of my job. Having met Jake at Oracle Corporation, we decided to try them out. Their Startup Search platform saved us time an helped build our team. They are now one dial away when we need help hiring.
Bastin Gerald - CEO at Apptivo
I found Match Relevant to be exceptionally professional and effective. Their team had the technical acumen to understand my needs immediately and begin providing candidates right away that were all worth interviewing. Within a couple of weeks, we had great options, and hired an outstanding engineer who is working out great so far. If we need to hire a specialized resource again in this competitive market, I wouldn't hesitate to use Match Relevant again.
Tim O'Keefe - Director of Renewables and DER at Energy Solutions

Proscape had a great experience with the team at Match Relevant. We spent almost a year looking for quality candidates and did not have much luck. They somehow found 4 qualified candidates in short order and we feel we hired the best one. We would use Match Relevant again and highly recommend them.
John Higgins - Director of Cloud Computing at Proscape Technologies
I found Jake while surfing online for a quality recruiter late one night- he was quick to respond; set-up a call to better understand the role, our company, and culture. He also connected with the hiring manager to get a better feel for the technical skills that were required for the position. Jake sent us befitting candidates, was easy and pleasant to work with, and transparent throughout the process. And yes, we filled the vacancy! We'll definitely work w/ Jake and MatchRelevant again....

When it came down to the wire, and I didn't quite have the offer from my first choice company, their executive team started making calls. They got me a same-day second face-to-face interview, and the next day the company brought me in to make an offer. Their team was literally up all night pulling strings for me. I couldn't be happier.
Jeremy Smith - Scala Developer
Match Relevant found me and helped me get the perfect position with exactly what I was looking for. They were in touch througout the entire process and answered all of my questions right away.

Working with Match Relevant has been a great and rewarding experience. I was lucky enough to work with one of their founders, a genuinely nice down-to-earth guy and confident recruiter. He paired me with a mobile startup and was there through the whole process. He was friendly and approachable and not once did I feel like he was wasting my time or theirs.
James Manera - Software Developer - Ember.js at Mobile Startup
I was interested in exploring new opportunities a few years back and decided to work Match Relevant. The main reason was that they had jobs that no other recruiters could provide. I landed a job with a Startup, but more than anything really appreciated Jake's teams honesty and transparency during the entire hiring process. It changed my view on recruiters for the better.
Alex Ho - Sr. Web Software Engineer at mophie
I've worked with many recruiters in my career but honestly MatchRelevant was best of the best. The whole process went stress-free, smooth and on-time. In my experience, they are expert on finding an exact match and creating a win-win opportunity for both the client and the candidate. Just sayin'!

We needed what I thought was impossible – a lead architect who had front-end, back-end and design experience. In less than a month, Match Relevant came through with a number of candidates who fit that bill, and the engineer we hired moved us from MVP to operational in half the time I expected. Look forward to their help building out the team from here.

When they first reached out we had a chat about about my current position and new roles I was looking forward to. After that, they put me in contact with teams that were looking to hire for roles relevant to what I was looking for. Working with Match Relevant was a very pleasant experience because no time was waisted and the next steps were always clear.
Shant Tokatyan - iOS Engineer
I was part of a MasterMind group and was fortunate enough to meet the founder of Match Relevant. I had heard incredible stories of their success in the recruitment industry but hadn't had the opportunity to work together. Having spent 17 years in the recruiting industry myself, I am very particular about who manages my openings. After 7+ years of collaboration, there is only one company I recommend when it comes to finding technical talent and it's Match Relevant.
Michelle Patterson - CEO at Women's Network
As the CEO of CarDomain, we have a high level of urgency to ensure our 6M monthly unique visitors are satisfied daily. I recently had two mission critical openings that needed to be filled.

I had the privilege of partnering with Jake and team as a candidate and I’d say, without a doubt, best candidate experience out there.

I highly recommend him and his team for any recruiting need. He is a game changer and I will personally use him in the future, as a candidate and as a client!
