HireHawk
Global staffing agency: managed remote talent from $12/hr (payroll/compliance included) plus US direct-hire placements. 500+ placements for 200+ US companies. HQ Los Angeles.
What is HireHawk?
HireHawk is a global staffing agency built around two hiring models for US companies. The first is fully managed global talent: HireHawk sources remote, hybrid, or in-office professionals starting around $12 per hour across six talent markets, the United States, Canada, Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, and Eastern Europe, and handles payroll and compliance so the client doesn't have to set up local infrastructure. The second is US direct-hire placement, a one-time recruiting fee starting at 12.5% of first-year salary, for companies that want to hire someone directly onto their own payroll. HireHawk says it has made 500-plus placements across 100-plus roles in 10-plus departments, working with more than 200 growing US companies, including venture-backed startups (citing clients backed by investors like Y Combinator, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz) and businesses in law, healthcare, real estate, e-commerce, financial services, agencies, technology, home services, and manufacturing. It was founded by Founder and CEO David Manshoory, who began building remote teams for one of his own companies around 2019 before turning that experience into HireHawk. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with roughly 20 people on its own core team.
Mission & values
Help growing US companies build strong teams quickly by connecting them to vetted global and US talent, managed or direct-hire.
Qualifications
HireHawk has two different kinds of roles, and understanding which one applies matters. Joining HireHawk's own small core team means working in recruiting, client success, sales/business development, or operations to run the agency itself, based mainly in or around Los Angeles. Being placed through HireHawk, the far more common outcome, means being matched to one of its client companies, either as a managed hire (HireHawk handles your payroll and compliance while you work day to day for the client, across roles spanning law, healthcare, real estate, e-commerce, technology, and more) or as a US direct-hire (you go directly onto the client's own payroll after HireHawk's one-time recruiting fee). Application flow lives at hirehawk.com. For managed placements, relevant experience in your target role, remote-work reliability, and time-zone flexibility for the client's needs are the main signals; for direct-hire, standard hiring criteria for the specific US role apply. Check which arrangement a given opportunity is before applying.
