About Moonshot Consulting
We're not a traditional recruiting firm. We're a tech-focused talent partner built by someone who's lived the chaos of hyper-growth hiring and figured out what actually works.
Built by a Tech Recruiter Who Got Tired of the Broken
David Oliver spent 15+ years leading recruiting teams at some of the fastest-growing companies in tech:
Confluent (Series D → IPO)
Splunk (hyper-growth phase)
The Trade Desk (scaling GTM teams)
He's hired hundreds of engineers, GTM leaders, and executives. He's seen what happens when companies hire too slowly; they lose talent to competitors. He's seen what happens when they hire too fast—they burn cash on bad fits.
In 2018, he started Moonshot to do recruiting differently:
✓ No resume spam. Every candidate shortlist is vetted by a human recruiter.
✓ No black-box AI. We explain how our algorithms work and let you adjust the criteria.
✓ No corporate BS. We talk like real people. We move fast. We care about getting it right.
Today, Moonshot works with tech startups and growth-stage companies who need to hire exceptional talent without the overhead of a full recruiting team—or the pain of working with traditional talent organizational builds.
What We Believe
Recruiting Should Feel Human
The best hires happen when candidates feel respected, informed, and excited;
not ghosted by bots or subjected to 9-round interview marathons. We use AI to remove friction, not humanity.
Speed Is a Competitive Advantage
Every day a role stays open is a day your team is understaffed, your roadmap slips, and your best candidates accept other offers.
We help you move fast without cutting corners.
Diversity Isn't a Checkbox
Building diverse teams requires intentional process design, not just "good intentions."
We use AI to remove unconscious bias and expand pipelines, then measure what's working.
Experience Beats Theory
We don't just advise on hiring; we've done it ourselves. At scale. Under pressure.
With limited budgets. We know what works because we've lived it.
