About

For the past decade, The Sunol Group has been executing against one compelling vision: To deliver recruitment services especially tailored to the needs of high technology entrepreneurs. We work with many of Silicon Valley’s best entrepreneurs, and top-tier Venture Firms, building their most important investments.

Sunol Group specializes in building teams across all functional groups, starting at the earliest stages and building consistently through, or joining at later stage companies (up to Post IPO). We are the trusted advisors to CEO’s and executives on best practices for recruiting, and consult on all staffing related matters. We are experts at bringing the best, not-actively-looking talent to the table. These are the game changers that make the difference between success and failure. This usually starts with development teams at the early stages, and as our portfolio companies grow, we build their sales, marketing, support, and operations teams. Simply put, we deliver entire technology companies to our clients and venture partners, and we’ve been doing this successfully since the mid 90s.

Our goal is to key in on specific qualifications and requirements for every position we fill, in order to place the best possible candidates.  We sit with our clients and discuss exactly what it is they need and are looking for to ensure we find them the best talent the Bay Area has to offer.

Given today’s highly competitive recruiting climate, companies and their recruiting partners must think differently about the way they’re finding, communicating with, and acquiring talent. Gone are the days of posting your open jobs on job boards and waiting for qualified candidates to apply in droves. Today’s companies must think differently not only about how they’re finding great candidates, but how they’re engaging these candidates to turn them into your game-changing employees. Successful companies must understand the competition, and must change the way they’re attracting the best and brightest minds within their industry.

Today’s great candidates find jobs differently, and more often than not, they aren’t looking for new opportunities. In most cases they aren’t actively looking because they currently possess a great job and career. In these cases, the new jobs need to find them. The avenues for finding these jobs are traditionally through former colleagues, former managers, and/or through personal connections. So what’s the problem you ask? This method for hiring your team doesn’t scale companies. Personal networks in today’s market quickly reach their peak of effectiveness after the first few hires. What you need is a partner who has the relationships, or has the ability to make them quickly. The point at which you hire expert help to solve this problem will make the difference between success, and failure for your company. We are experts at finding, and more importantly, attracting the best talent to your company.

We leverage the latest techniques, technology, process, and methodologies to find these great talents. However, what we do next is what makes us truly great… We develop deep personal relationships; we convince them to carefully consider your opportunity, and what sets Sunol Group apart from other Recruiting Firms is our ability to get them to commit to you as their employer of choice.

So how do we do this?  Simply put, we constantly innovate. We leverage a scientific approach to headhunting, and also fully integrated multimedia campaigns alongside of our award-winning recruiting services to attract and retain your most important employees.

Sunol Group is unlike most recruiting firms, due to the fact that we do not rely on job boards. Our abilities and proven track record allow us to recruit out of any target company.  We will find the best candidates, and sell them on the opportunities they will gain from working with our clients.
