The Agency That Staffs the Agencies
Celeste Gudas started 24 Seven in 2000 to staff fashion and beauty brands. Twenty-five years and eight acquisitions later, it is the No. 2 marketing and creative staffing firm in America - and it is quietly betting that the future of hiring is a matching algorithm plus a human who has read 3,000 salary surveys.
MarketerHire
MarketerHire is a San Francisco-based talent marketplace that connects companies with pre-vetted, on-demand marketing experts - from fractional CMOs to paid-media specialists - typically matched within 48 hours via its proprietary MarketerMatch algorithm.
talent.io
talent.io was a European recruitment marketplace that flipped traditional headhunting: pre-screened software engineers and tech freelancers were surfaced to companies, who then applied to candidates. Founded in Paris in 2015 by Amit Aharoni, Jonathan Azoulay and Nicolas Meunier, it scaled to ten European cities and 2,000+ employer clients before being acquired by Davidson Consulting out of judicial reorganization in March 2025.
