Tech Talent Acquisition & Strategic Hiring

Startups aren’t for everyone, and that’s exactly why our recruitment process is designed to filters out the tourists. We find problem-solvers who’ll dive in and drive your business forward—no corporate BS required.

As your dedicated talent acquisition partners, we deliver full-cycle recruitment services for clients across North America. Whether you need technical talent, nearshore development teams or strategic hires, we act as an extension of your team with flexible hourly or sprint-based engagements.

From technical assessment to cultural fit, we’ve mastered rapid scaling for growth-stage companies. Need to set up international teams? Our Employer of Record (EOR) expertise helps you expand globally while maintaining speed and compliance.

We act as an extension of your hiring team, delivering results on an hourly or ‘sprint’ fee basis.

Services

Tough Decisions & Terminations

We dive into the sticky, complex issues most avoid: depleting runway, reorganizations, performance problems, and high-stakes decisions. We’ll thought-partner with you to provide the clarity and direction needed to navigate these challenges. No sugar-coating, no fluff—just real talk and support.

Letting go of an employee is tough, especially in startups where your team feels like more than just ‘resources.’ Our founder, Charlyne Fothergill, will personally support you. We’ll create a script and coach you on what to say (and not to say). We take the meeting together, you follow the script and we take care of the rest.

We have experience in US and Canada and can facilitate any necessary legal consultation in order to minimize your lawyer’s billable time.

Sova also offers outplacement services such as resume reviews, interview prep and job search consultations.

Org Chart Audit & Talent Planning

Is your current team built for growth? Whether it’s rethinking existing roles or filling new ones, we make sure you have the right people in place to drive success.

We’ll dive into your org chart, assess if the right people are in the right seats, and help you navigate any tough conversations along the way. Need to scale? We’ll guide you on when and how to make key hires that align with your goals.

Perfect for founders prepping for or fresh off a funding round.

Performance Reviews & Compensation Programs

Keeping and growing top talent is crucial for any scaling company. Performance reviews and compensation programs aren’t just for big players—they’re essential for keeping your team energized and aligned.

We define what high performance looks like and design a streamlined program tailored to your culture. Whether you need a skills matrix or prefer a low-fi approach, we adapt to your business stage, priorities, and budget.

Our focus is on linking compensation to performance with a strong emphasis on internal equity, ensuring you’re equipped to confidently discuss your compensation strategy with current and future talent. This will help you navigate the changing pay transparency landscape. Plus, we can provide options for industry-specific pay data, so you stay competitive in the market.

Access to a Strategic Task Force

At Sova Operations, we’re deeply embedded in the startup ecosystem. This means you gain access to a dynamic array of top-tier resources, all passionate about propelling your business forward.
