"Good recruiting isn't about filling roles. It's about understanding people."

Claire, Founder

Candidate-first. Every search starts with the people in it, on both sides.

Consultative. We advise on the role, the market and the process, not just the shortlist.

Long-term thinking. We care about where a hire is in three years, not just day one.

About

Recruiting that
feels different

Daybreak Talent was built on a simple belief: the best hires come from genuine relationships, not transactional processes. We take the time to understand both sides, the team you're building and the career someone wants to grow.

Founder Claire specializes in 0-to-100 growth-stage startups. Tech recruiting is home base, with deep reach into GTM, sales, product and marketing for tech companies. When she's not working, she's with her family in Orange County.
