About KIMARU Talent

KIMARU Talent is a boutique executive search firm working with startups and growth-stage companies in AI, gaming, technology, and advertising. We take on fewer clients so we can go deeper on each search — real understanding of the role, the team, and what "yes" looks like for both sides.

We're not generalists who'll take any search. We focus on leadership and critical individual-contributor hires — the roles where getting it right changes the trajectory of the startup.

That depth is why most long-term clients give us access to their ATS, Slack, and internal comms. We're not a vendor you check in with weekly. We operate like an internal recruiter with an external network.

What this is

This isn't an application for one specific role — it's how you get on our radar. We're building a standing network of strong operators and leaders across AI, gaming, tech, and ad-tech so that when the right search comes up, we already know who to call.

Submitting your info here means:

We'll reach out directly when a live search matches your background

You won't have to re-explain your career every time a recruiter cold-messages you

Your info stays with us — we don't forward it to clients without talking to you first

Who we're looking for

Leadership and senior individual contributors in AI, gaming, technology, or ad-tech

Based in or open to opportunities in the US, Canada, UK, or Japan

Open to hearing about the right opportunity, even if you're not actively looking
