Who is
Recruiting from Scratch :Recruiting from Scratch is a talent firm that focuses on placing the best candidate for our clients. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across North America, South America, and Europe to help them hire.
About UsWe the people (and the taxpayers) deserve effective government. But the software powering government services is 20 years behind the private sector. Our mission is to build modern software products to help government serve communities better. After launching in April 2023, we now partner with government agencies in 7 states serving 200,000+ residents. We have raised $5.5 million in VC funding from Work-Bench and Bienville Capital.
What you’ll do
Build a product that will be used at scale by cities, counties, and citizens across the United States.
Our product is the primary workspace and system of record for our users - government staff typically use it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Additionally, thousands of citizens use our platform to access government services. You’ll see the direct impact of your work and receive immediate feedback with each new feature.
Make an impact in an underserved, but societally important industry.
We deserve effective, transparent government, but the overwhelming majority of cities and counties lack the modern software necessary to deliver it. We are changing that.
