Who we are

We’re forward-deployed operators who design, build, and execute the talent engine for inflection-stage startups.

We combine the depth of internal teams, the hustle of external recruiters, and the conviction of elite VCs into one hands-on, partnership-driven approach.



Companies are leaner, denser, and faster - you deserve a partner who can match your intensity, accelerate your velocity, and earn the right to scale with you.



That’s Bull Moose.

What our clients say

"Bull Moose has been a great partner for Uniswap — they over-delivered on the initial hiring mandate, provided even more value by piloting an AI strategy project, and were flexible in adjusting around the business needs as the company, market, and hiring demands evolved. They're good people we like and trust — we hired Charlie! If that doesn't say something about the quality of the staff, I don't know what does. That trust is why we re-engaged them when we needed additional recruiting support."

"In crypto, you need partners who understand that we're building for decades, not just the next market cycle. We've worked with the Bull Moose team across multiple searches because they share our values around building for the long-term. They don't just understand our business — they understand how we think and operate as founders, which allows them to be a true extension of our team."

“We spent months on Head of Compliance before Jake and Bull Moose. They cut the noise out entirely. Their process was the most rigorous we've seen. They represented the company as though they were on the team and consistently brought forward candidates that cleared our bar. Strongly recommend working with Jake and Bull Moose.”

“We needed a GC who could sit in the room with our CEO and shape strategy. After trying to find that person ourselves for a couple of months and failing, we brought in Bull Moose. From day 1, they operated like they were part of the team. They quickly understood the search, were extremely responsive, and delivered. To this day, I haven’t experienced this caliber of partnership from a search firm.”

"Bull Moose landed us some of our key early hires who are making a huge impact at Goldsky. Most importantly, they deeply understood and added to the culture of the team: they internalized our value system, integrated it into our hiring process, and identified talented people who matched it. They became an extension of Goldsky and were a great partner when we needed high-touch recruiting leadership and execution. What was originally meant to be a six-month engagement turned into nearly 18 months as we kept growing — and they kept delivering."
