about novel
Novel Recruiting connects you with high-impact hires who actually fit your culture. We listen first, clarify what you really need, and then run a focused, high-impact, high octane search so you spend your time meeting the right people—not sifting through resumes.
A Modern, Human Approach to Hiring
Our role is to act as an extension of your team: clarifying the role, testing the field, and giving you honest feedback on what the market will support. Instead of flooding your inbox, we introduce a short list of vetted candidates who align with your skills, values, and ways of working. We move with urgency, but never at the expense of fit or integrity, because thoughtful matchmaking leads to hires who stay and grow. Whether you’re building a team or planning your next career move, Novel Recruiting gives you a calm, clear, and personal search process focused on long-term success.

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out and we will get back to you.
What types of roles does Novel Recruiting specialize in?
Novel Recruiting specializes in tech, engineering, and other STEM-focused professional roles where culture, communication, and long-term alignment are critical. We also have extensive experience recruiting across a wide range of positions—including sales, marketing, operations, client success, and leadership—for growing companies across the US.
How is Novel Recruiting different from other recruiting firms?
We put a strong emphasis on deeply understanding and serving your needs first—your product, team culture, growth plans, and what success truly looks like in the role—before we ever start matching candidates. We prioritize long-term, personal relationships so we can grow alongside your company, acting as a consistent partner rather than a one-off vendor. That’s why we favor a curated, high-quality shortlist over volume, and every introduction is made with your long-term success in mind.
Where are you based, and do you recruit nationally?
Novel Recruiting is based in Coastal Georgia and works with companies and candidates across the United States. Many of the roles we support are remote-friendly or hybrid, and we’re comfortable navigating location, time zone, and compensation considerations across regions.
What does your communication look like during a search?
We keep communication straightforward and consistent. You can expect regular updates on pipeline, market feedback, and candidate progress, as well as quick check-ins if we’re seeing something in the market that might impact your search.
How do you measure a “successful” placement?
A successful placement is one where both the company and the candidate feel they made the right long-term decision. That usually shows up in strong early connection, mutual trust, clear communication, and a sense that the role is aligned with both business needs and personal goals. We stay in touch after placement to make sure everything is on track.
Do you work with companies, candidates, or both?
We partner with both hiring teams and job seekers. For companies, we act as an extension of your team to define the role, refine what a strong hire looks like, and manage a focused search. For candidates, we provide honest insight into opportunities and only recommend roles that match your strengths, values, and career goals.
What is your process for working with new clients?
We typically begin with a brief, low‑pressure conversation to understand what you’re hiring for, how your team is structured, your timeline, and what success in this role looks like. From there, we refine the role profile together, align on process and communication, and then we launch a targeted search. Throughout the engagement, you’ll receive regular updates, straightforward insight, and candidates I’ve personally spoken with and thoroughly vetted.
How do we get started?
The easiest way to get started is to reach out through the Contact page. Share a bit about what you’re hiring for or what you’re looking for in your next role, and we’ll follow up to schedule a confidential, no-pressure conversation.
