Friendly meeting at a trendy startup

About Grit Matters

Part detective, part sociologist, part researcher, part diplomat, all grit. Our team shepherds every hire on an individual, personal basis.

Our Mission

We connect innovative companies with exceptional technical talent that drives growth and transforms industries. Our mission is to redefine technical recruiting through a methodology that combines deep domain expertise, data-driven processes, and genuine human insight.

Our Story

Grit Matters was founded on a simple observation: traditional recruiting approaches were failing to meet the needs of fast-growing technology companies. Technical roles require more than keyword matching—they demand a nuanced understanding of specialized skills, cultural dynamics, and the vision that propels innovation-focused organizations forward.

Built by technology professionals for technology professionals, we've designed our firm to mirror the companies we serve: data-driven, results-oriented, and committed to excellence.

Our Values

Do the Hard Things

We embrace challenges others avoid. We believe the most valuable outcomes require tackling difficult conversations and complex problems head-on.

Solve Problems Creatively

We reframe challenges until we find a path forward. Like the best engineers, we know that if you can't solve problem X, redefine it as problem Y that you can solve.

Listen Earnestly

We practice deep attunement to our clients and candidates, understanding the core of their questions, concerns, and aspirations. This genuine connection forms the foundation of our success.

Be Direct

In a world of complex technical challenges, there’s little time for indirectness. We communicate with clarity and authenticity, contributing to an environment where truth is valued above comfort.

Practice Charity

We assume the best intentions in others. When ambiguity exists, we resolve it in favor of the person we’re working with—a principle that applies to both ethics and understanding.

Our team

We’re a dynamic group of individuals who are passionate about what we do and dedicated to delivering the best results for our clients.
