A startup recruiter for Miami should be able to search both inside the city and well beyond it, because many Miami startups build teams that mix local hires with people who relocate or work remotely. Funded.club hires for Miami startups with a remote team of recruiters on a fixed fee per hire agreed upfront, from $4,900, with one dedicated recruiter running each search.
Miami's startup scene has grown noticeably in recent years, helped by founders and investors choosing the city as a base. The community is energetic and well connected, but the local pool of experienced startup operators is still smaller than in the longest-established US tech hubs. For some specialist engineering and product roles, you may need to look further afield.
Miami also has real strengths. Its links with Latin America make it a natural base for companies selling into those markets, and it has a strong bilingual workforce in sales, customer success and operations.
Before you open a search, sort roles into three groups:
Getting this right early saves weeks. A search that starts local and later widens has to begin again.
If Miami is your gateway to Latin America, language and market knowledge become part of the brief. Spell out which languages the role needs, at what level, and which countries the person will cover. Ask candidates for concrete experience of those markets, such as customers they have sold to or teams they have managed, rather than general familiarity.
When you ask someone to move to Miami, or to join a company that is newer to the city, sell the whole picture: the team they would join, the role they would own and the community around it. Introduce them to other people in your network. Let them meet the team in person before an offer if you can. For leadership searches, how to hire a CTO for a startup covers the process in more depth.
Funded.club does not have a Miami office. It hires for Miami with a fully remote team of recruiters, which suits searches that combine local, relocating and remote candidates. Since 2019 it has helped 500+ startups from Seed to Series D across North America, Europe and APAC.
For senior hires, the difference in fee is significant. For an illustrative $160,000 hire, a 20 to 25% contingency fee comes to $32,000 to $40,000. Funded.club's fixed fee above $150,000 is $15,900 to $21,900. The lower bands are $4,900 up to $70,000, $7,500 up to $110,000 and $11,500 up to $150,000.
Funded.club's customers include Supernova.io, WeTravel, VKTRY Gear and Cobalt Robotics. See pricing, or compare approaches in Dover alternatives for startup recruiting.
No. Funded.club is fully remote and has no Miami office. Its recruiters hire for Miami roles remotely, reaching candidates in the city and elsewhere.
Yes. Your dedicated recruiter can run a search that includes local candidates, people open to relocating and remote candidates, depending on what the role needs.
A fixed fee per hire from $4,900 to $21,900, based on salary band and agreed upfront. That averages 6 to 9% of salary, against the 20 to 25% typical of contingency recruiters.
