Matt Carboni is a Founder at VerLynk based in Austin, Texas, United States, North America. I specialize in helping high-growth startups solve their toughest engineering hiring challenges by delivering senior to VP level software engineering talent, fast. I've been an internal recruiter for multiple high growth tech startups. I founded VERLYNK because I understand the challenges of scaling a startup and the quality from staffing agencies was lacking significantly. High-growth startups often face a familiar roadblock: engineering roles stay open too long, projects get delayed, and internal teams lose momentum. Finding the right software talent calls for precision, urgency, and a partner who understands both the technical landscape and the pace of startup life. For over 15 years, this work has focused exclusively on helping startups, from early seed rounds to post-IPO, build the engineering foundations that drive product and revenue growth. Through a refined, multi-step recruiting process, top-tier talent is identified, engaged, and hired in as little as 7 business days. Every search starts with deep alignment: what’s at stake, who’s needed, and why now. What follows is a targeted, data-backed strategy that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to the hiring process. Partnerships are built directly with CTOs, Founders, Heads of Engineering, and Talent leaders, people with limited bandwidth who need results fast. The approach is high-touch and hands-on, emphasizing speed, feedback loops, and trust. Candidates are delivered with context: motivations, goals, salary expectations, code samples, and cultural alignment. The result is a faster path to strong hires, improved retention, and teams that scale with confidence. This model has helped engineering leaders consistently outperform industry benchmarks. Time-to-hire shrinks. Offers get accepted. Teams grow without compromise. And startups stay focused on building products, not chasing down resumes. Key Success Stories Include: - Principal DevOps Engineer: Placed in 7 business days, modernized CI/CD infrastructure. - Director of Software Engineering: Filled in 17 business days, now leading growth-stage scaling. - Data Engineering Manager: Placed in 14 business days to build data engineering function from the ground up. - Senior React Native Engineers: Two hires delivered in 13 business days to meet mobile launch deadlines. - Senior Full-Stack Engineer: Placed in 9 business days, now leading cross-functional squads.
