Introduction
We spend hundreds of hours researching the best HR and recruiting software so you don’t have to. We never take money from vendors during our research phase and rely heavily on practitioners and experts to help us recommend the right software. However we may earn a small fee if you click on vendor links on this page.
Avra is one of the most hands-on and advisory-based firms we’ve seen in the RPO world. They like to go in and not only help you find top talent but also identify ways to fix your recruiting processes.

PROS
- The team at Avra prefers to work with a guaranteed outcomes-based approach.
- They bring years of experience to the table with a unique roster of talent professionals and consultants.
- Avra is a very referrals-based RPO, which speaks to lengths on their client satisfaction and professionalism.
CONS
- Since the company is currently relaunching after merging two smaller firms, the team might face some changes that require extra bandwidth to navigate.
- Avra is all about working side-by-side with your team to help put together the best workforce. Hence, companies expecting more of a, let’s say, nearly automated approach to the RPO model might not be the best fit.
- While somewhat international in scope, the Avra team is quite focused in the US. Companies looking to hire in other jurisdictions might find their range limited.

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.
Avra are currently partnered with over 25 leading tech companies. Some recent names include Grindr, FastGrowingTrees, Crux, Sika, Brave Health, and A.Team.
Pricing for Avra is customized based on client needs, but generally speaking, their model is a monthly retainer for embedded talent support on a batch of roles.
US businesses in tech and other industries looking for a hands-on and tailored approach to recruitment and other human capital services. Since it can be customized to the client’s needs, Avra is a good fit for companies at all stages of their lifecycle.
