Flexible Ops hiring for startups

Where founders find their do-ers

We're the network startups use to hire for part-time roles, short-term projects, and for senior advisors.

Unlike other contract job boards, we're built just for startups. We've already done the vetting, so you'll only meet high caliber, proven talent. Even better, you don’t have to sort through hundreds of options. We’ll send you a curated list of wildly qualified candidates who are ready to interview and get to work.

Hire your Operator

How it works

Scope your job

You can hire for ongoing, embedded work, or a special project. Need someone to support fundraising, do financial modeling, and do new market research? No problem.

Get matched

Within 48 hours, we match your role to Operators in our network. You'll review their data-rich profiles that show work history, case studies, experience, and skillsets, then interview your picks.

Back office? Handled.

When you're ready to hire, HG handles the details — contracts, payments, compliance and paperwork — so you can get right to work.

Why Founders work with HG
