Search Details
This search demanded a rare profile: a senior chemical engineer with hands-on scale-up experience in extraction, separation, or recovery processes, comfortable with 50% field travel, and willing to join an early-stage venture-backed company reporting directly to the CEO. The $150K-$180K range with equity works for startup believers, but most engineers at this level have settled into stable corporate roles and aren't looking. The client operates in critical materials extraction from wastewater—a niche where relevant experience barely exists. First qualified candidate submitted in 8 days; offer accepted in 49. This was a repeat engagement.
