Frequently asked questions
What makes 2A Works different from other tech industry recruitment agencies?
2A Works combines deep recruiting expertise with a background in B2B tech marketing. We’ve spent years working alongside tech companies, which gives us a clear understanding of what makes standout talent and how to find it. Our hands-on, consultative approach means we don’t just send you resumes—we deliver candidates who align with your team’s goals, work style, and long-term vision.
Do you only recruit for tech roles, or do you also work as a creative and marketing recruitment agency?
We recruit for a mix of technical, creative, and marketing roles. That includes everything from software engineers and AI specialists to brand strategists, UX designers, and content marketers. Our roots in B2B tech marketing give us a unique ability to find professionals who understand both the technical and strategic sides of the work.
Do you help tech startups as well as enterprise clients with recruitment?
Yes. We work with companies of all sizes, from early-stage startups to large enterprises. We adapt our recruiting process based on team size, hiring infrastructure, and resource constraints. We can also help with role scoping, job descriptions, and interview planning.
What’s the difference between your direct hire, executive search, and fractional leadership recruitment services?
Direct hire: We recruit full-time employees to join your team directly.
Executive search: For high-level leadership roles, we can conduct a deeper discovery process with stakeholders and a more rigorous candidate assessment.
Fractional leadership: We help you find experienced executives for part-time or project-based roles to give you strategic leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.
How long does it take your recruiters to fill a role?
Once we align on the scope and requirements of a role, we typically share a shortlist of vetted candidates within two to 10 days. The overall timeline depends on the complexity of the role, the availability of qualified talent, and your internal interview process.
How do you vet candidates before shortlisting them for client roles?
All shortlisted candidates are phone screened by our experienced recruiters to confirm their skills, background, communication abilities, and fit for the role. Depending on the position, we may also review portfolios, request work samples, or use technical assessments to evaluate capabilities.
For creative roles, we draw on more than a decade of experience evaluating designers, writers, and video professionals. In addition to reviewing creative portfolios, our recruiters consider brand voice, visual style, and industry context to ensure each candidate aligns with the client’s goals and aesthetic.
What’s your replacement policy if a hire doesn’t work out?
If a placed candidate leaves or is not a fit within the first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no additional cost.
How does 2A Works recruit diverse talent?
We take a proactive and intentional approach to inclusive hiring. That includes writing inclusive job descriptions, sourcing from diverse candidate networks, and regularly reviewing our process to reduce bias. We also build long-term relationships with professionals from underrepresented backgrounds to expand access and inclusion across our talent pool.
What information do your recruiters need to get started?
To run a successful search, we need the role’s responsibilities, required experience and skills, location (remote, hybrid, or onsite), and your target timeline. We’ll also want to understand your team’s structure, work style, and company culture. The more we know, the better we can find candidates who truly fit and add value from day one.
