Duo Talent Partners is a recruiting and talent consultancy that partners with companies during periods of growth, new initiatives, and organizational scale. We typically work as an embedded partner alongside founders and leadership teams, often combining hands-on recruiting with fractional Head of Talent support. Our work includes building hiring strategy, creating recruiting infrastructure, and executing searches across technical, go-to-market, product, marketing, and operations teams. Engagements are flexible by design, but our core model is close partnership and senior-level involvement for companies that want thoughtful execution—not just resume volume.
