// Our Mission
Built Different.
By Design.
The Harvest Consulting Group was founded on a simple but radical premise: recruiting for highly technical industries requires technical people. Generic recruiting firms rely on keyword matching and volume. We don't.
Our consultants hold real-world backgrounds in the sectors they serve — aerospace engineering, machine learning, data center operations, and quantitative finance. We speak the language of your candidates and your hiring managers, which means faster closes, better fits, and longer tenures.
We operate at the intersection of human judgment and intelligent process — combining deep domain expertise with a rigorous, data-informed approach to talent matching that generic firms simply cannot replicate.
// What We Stand For
Our Core Values
Domain Expertise
Our recruiters have worked in the industries they recruit for. No guessing, no keyword matching — genuine understanding of what great looks like in your field.
Long-Term Vision
We build partnerships, not transactions. We measure success in years, not placements — because the right hire compounding over time is worth infinitely more.
Technical Rigor
Every candidate is technically vetted before they reach your desk. We filter for genuine depth, not polished presentations.
Radical Transparency
We tell you what we find — including the hard things. No overselling candidates, no hiding red flags. Our reputation is built on honest assessments.
Speed Without Sacrifice
Top talent moves fast. Our pipelines are built for speed without compromising quality — reducing time-to-hire without inflating mis-hire rates.
Global Network
Our talent network spans every major tech hub — from Silicon Valley and Chicago to Denver, NYC, and international centers of excellence.
