“Grizmo Labs has been a highly effective hiring partner for Elevate in the last 2 years. They enabled us to build high performance teams with high precision and velocity by hiring exceptional candidates across Dev, QA, Infra, Data and Product roles. Grizmo Labs employed an efficient hiring process which is deeply aligned with our org strategy.

Flam
Anupam YadavTalent Acquisition, Flam

“Grizmo Labs played a key role in building the early technology team at Flam, successfully filling roles across diverse areas such as AI, Backend, Frontend, and Data Engineering. I would highly recommend her and the Grizmo Labs team to any early-stage startup looking to build a strong team during the critical 0-1 or 1-10 phase.”

“Before partnering with Grizmo Labs, candidates did not have an interest in performing a basic website check to know the company; the initial excitement/curiosity was missing. This has significantly improved post-partnering with Grizmo Labs. The profiles shared are limited with a high understanding of the bar of the candidate and transparency throughout the entire process.”

Kinara
Anitha TeegalaOperations Head, Kinara

“Before tying up with Grizmo Labs there were significant hiring challenges in the team identifying candidates with the right skills, experience, and cultural fit. Since partnering with Grizmo Labs, we have seen a good source of profiles in Software plus there has been not a single hire call drop in the closures we’ve made with them.”

ThrivePass
Shivani ChauhanTalent Acquisition Specialist, ThrivePass

“Just a quick note to express my gratitude for Grizmo Labs’ outstanding work on the recent closings. Closing our crucial positions is a testament to their skills and dedication. Their efficiency, communication, and ability to find the right candidates are truly commendable.”

Prashant KashyapChief Business Officer, Vystrit

“Gaurav is a go-getter! His technical understanding coupled with his great people skills make him one of the finest search partners to have. If you are looking for a partner to build your high-performance team, I would highly recommend working with Gaurav and his team.”
