Founded in 2017 in Pune by three operators who had spent the prior decade hiring inside the orgs they now serve. Today, fifty people across three offices — headquartered in Delaware, with teams in Pune and Ontario, led by ten senior partners. No call centres. No automated outreach. No portal.
“We wanted to build the firm we had always wanted to hire from. Honest about the brief. Slow to send the wrong candidate. Fast for the right one.”
The search industry built itself around volume. More résumés. More portals. More “candidates per requisition.” We came up inside it and watched the work degrade for both sides — hiring managers drowning in unscreened profiles, candidates ignored after their fourth round.
So we built Rivago around the opposite premise. Fewer searches per partner. Longer relationships. Honest briefs in both directions. A single person on the line — who learns your business and stays with you for the next role, and the one after that.
It costs more per hire. It also sticks. The partner who placed them is still the person you call.
Whether you're building a team or weighing your next move, you'll talk to a senior partner who knows your market. No intake bots, no call queues, no résumé black holes.
