A founder’s force multiplier — vetted, not outsourced.

A Account Executive runs full-cycle sales from discovery to signed deal. The role rewards judgment and range over any single skill, which is exactly why it is so hard to hire for from a résumé alone.

Huzzle fixes that. Heidi — our AI recruiter — sources globally, runs a structured interview with every candidate, and scores them across ten factors that actually predict performance. You meet only the top 2%, you see exactly how each was evaluated, and you make the call.
