Hire with Principle. Build with Purpose.
At HERC HR, we help early-stage teams hire with intention — not urgency. Because hiring isn’t just about filling roles; it’s about choosing who you want to build with and how you want to grow.
Hiring isn’t just a to-do list item.
It’s the thing that makes or breaks your entire business. Most teams underestimate the compounding impact of each hire: how one person can raise or lower the bar, accelerate or stall momentum, deepen culture or dilute it.
The right people? Game-changers. The wrong ones? Costly, chaotic, and hard to undo. That’s why we treat hiring as the strategic function it is — and why every search, every interaction, and every candidate touchpoint reflects a white-glove standard of care.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Principled — a recruiting collective for people who have walked away from companies that no longer align with their values.
Together, we connect purpose-driven talent with startups ready to build with integrity, not just ambition. From first hires to executive placements to the 500th employee, we believe great teams are built on shared values — and we know where to find them.
If Hiring Feels Broken, It’s Not Just You
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’re buried in resumes and hoping the right one shows up.
You’ve been burned by hires who looked great on paper — but didn’t stick.
Your process feels chaotic or frustrating for your team and candidates.
You’re attracting interest, but not from people aligned with your mission.
Hiring has ripple effects most founders underestimate — until it’s too late. Without the right structure, it’s easy to burn time, trust, and talent. We’re here to help you break that cycle and build a hiring engine that supports your business long-term.

Hiring Is The Most Strategic Work You’ll Ever Do

Hiring shapes everything. Let’s treat it that way.
Hiring Well Isn’t Easy — But It’s Worth Doing Right.
The pressure to get it right. The fear of hiring the wrong person. The doubt about whether your process is working at all.
We’ve been there — and helped a lot of teams through it. If you're ready to stop second-guessing and start hiring in a way that actually feels aligned, we want to help.
