About Us

Our Story

Compound Talent is founded by Danny McElroy, a recruitment veteran with 9 years of experience hiring software engineers for some of the most influential startups of the last decade.

We enjoy partnering with companies looking to disrupt antiquated industries and those that are creating new categories altogether.

Why we are different

Compound Talent operates with a full understanding that every action we take, big or small, contributes to our future reputation. Our mission is to match engineers with opportunities that align with their career ambitions (short & long term), personal interests and risk appetite.

We aim to partner with organizations that use software to improve the physical world, while also paying close attention to employee satisfaction and candidate experience.

Deep Network

Our narrow focus on software engineering roles means we have close connections with hundreds of top engineers.

Energized by Search

We prefer to be evaluated on results. With more recruiting companies pivoting away from the core function of hiring, we see this as our advantage.

Always Learning

The technology industry is constantly changing and we enjoy keeping up with the latest developments across the industry.
