Stride

We build product teams for NYC startups.

Stride is a recruiting firm run by two former PMs, helping founders hire the best product-minded talent in New York City.

Our approach

Hire people who shape the product.

We focus on product teams and the high-judgement roles closest to them.

  • Product Management
  • Growth
  • Strategy
  • Product Marketing
  • Chief of Staff
  • GTM

Our recruiting starts before there's an open role.

We spent the last decade working alongside exceptional, product-minded people and building relationships that go far beyond a candidate database. We bring that network and community to every search from day one.

Talent network

Great candidates are always worth knowing.

You don't need to be actively looking. We build relationships with awesome people throughout their careers, not just when they’re searching for their next role.

We’ll stay in touch, share what we’re seeing in the market, and reach out when we find something worth your time.

Team

We spent more than a decade building products and hiring teams inside big tech and startups before starting Stride. We’ve been candidates, interviewers, hiring managers, and operators ourselves, so we understand what great talent looks like and what it takes to bring the right people together.
