You're paying a hidden "SaaS Tax" just to hire.

Before your recruiter sends a single message, you're already spending $3,000–$5,000 per month on tools alone.

LinkedIn Recruiter + InMails$15–25K/yr
ATS Platform (Greenhouse / Lever)$15–40K/yr
AI Sourcing Software$6–15K/yr
Setup, training & admin time$5–15K/yr
Total "SaaS Tax"$35–80K / yr

Built by someone who has done the work.

David Oliver spent 15+ years leading recruiting at some of the fastest-scaling tech companies in the world. He has seen what happens when companies hire too slow — and what happens when they hire too fast.

In 2018, he founded Moonshot to combine AI speed for sourcing, human judgment for quality, and transparent pricing with no corporate overhead.

Today, Moonshot helps tech startups hire exceptional talent without building a full internal recruiting function — or dealing with traditional agencies.
