We first heard about Avra through a friend. After exploring more and even hearing the experiences of some of the companies they have worked with, it was refreshing to learn of an RPO with such a ‘doer’ mentality, where they try to own as many recruitment and HR processes as you let them, on top of their strategic advisory services. They have provided this “people teams as a service” approach at places like Grindr, Sika, and Crux.

To go with an old adage (yet paraphrased), they try to teach you to recruit better instead of simply recruiting for you. Their services run the gamut from performance to compensation, employee experiences, and restructuring. They also offer a fractional ‘Biz CHRO’ approach, where one of them can help oversee your human capital evolution as if another member of your team.

Avra is the result of the recent merger between two smaller RPO firms, Avra Talent and Mindhire. While they used to operate as an almost entirely referrals-based business, they’re currently broadening their scope. Some of the stats we got from them are that they can reduce cost per hire by 50%, grow teams by 2-3X, and hire the majority of your C-suite. One of our favorite things about Avra is that they aim to not only enable your organization’s growth but unlock the full potential of your current and future workforce.
