Independent recruiting · Los Angeles

A real person vouches for you before any company sees your name.

Vouchward is a small, independent recruiting practice for data, AI, and platform engineers. You get a proper conversation with someone who has read your work, roles picked for you rather than blasted at you, and nothing shared until you say yes. Free for you, always. Hiring companies pay us.

1,000+ roles open right now

The form takes about four minutes. Then a 30 to 45 minute call, long enough to talk properly about your work.

The Vouchward team

Every referral carries a written reason like this one. If we cannot write one, we do not send it.

Resume check

Upload your resume, let us match you with roles

We read it against every open role (1,000+ right now) and tell you how many look like a fit. If none do, you get straight notes on the resume instead. Takes about a minute.

Real people run this, and you talk to us directly.

Vouchward is a small, independent practice built by people from the data and AI world, not career recruiters, with years spent inside the Microsoft data ecosystem, from Fabric and Power BI platforms to AI systems for enterprise teams. We started Vouchward after watching too many strong engineers get carpet bombed by recruiters who had never read their work. The fix is not more volume. It is people who understand the work, say no often, and put their name on every yes.

How it works

Three steps, and you approve every one that matters.

STEP 1

A short conversation

A four minute form, then a 30 to 45 minute call. No scripts and no phone screen feel. Enough time to talk through what you have built, what you are good at, and what you want next.

STEP 2

A referral only where it fits

If a role genuinely matches, we ask you first. You see the company and the role, and nothing is sent until you say yes to that company.

STEP 3

Your record stays yours

You can view, correct, or delete everything we hold about you at any time from Manage my record. Deleting means deleted, and we keep proof that we honoured it.

Our promises, in writing

What we never do.

These are not marketing lines. Each one is written into our public legal terms, and several of them are California law.

Never charge you a cent

Hiring companies pay us when a referral works out. If anyone ever asks you for money in our name, it is a scam.

Never ask your salary history

California law bars it and we agree with the law. We ask what you want to earn next, not what you earned before.

Never share you without approval

Every referral is one role, one company, one explicit yes from you. There is no bulk anything.

Never trap your data

Delete your record whenever you like. We even keep a one way marker so we cannot accidentally add you back.

Never ghost you

If we talk and it is not a fit, we tell you so in writing. Your time on the call earns you a straight answer.

Questions

The things people ask before they trust a recruiter.

Yes, always. Companies pay recruiting fees when a hire works out, and that is where our income comes from. Candidates never pay anything, and California law is one of the reasons we keep it that way.

One good conversation. A straight answer either way.

Thirty to forty five minutes with someone who has read your work. Tell us what you have built and what you want next. If we can vouch for you, we will. If we cannot, you will hear that too.
