Nice to see you! 👋 We’re Kostya and Mariam and we’re very proud to introduce hirehire!
For the last 15 years, Kostya worked as a product leader and a hiring manager at great tech companies like Intercom and Yandex. Over these years, he had interviewed hundreds of product folks, hired dozens, promoted and mentored many, and is very proud of having built and grown amazing teams.
Mariam is an experienced recruitment and talent management expert. Her experience includes roles like Head of Talent at Pivot and Talent Acquisition at Coca-Cola. She is a Certified Career Consultant and serves as a Chapter President at the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief.
Our biggest asset is our professional network that spans functions and geographies. Over the years we have built relationships with top-notch professionals and companies that trust us with their hiring needs.

Ultimately, we see our goal as helping you grow in your career by finding the best next opportunity — whether in the current company or a new one.
Here’s how we do it:
“Kostya was directly responsible for hiring some of our finest design talent at Intercom. He has his finger on the pulse of the industry, deeply understands the reality of how modern design teams work, and has a great eye for talent. It's reassuring to know that someone like him is available to connect the right designers with the right companies.”
Emmet Connolly, VP of Product Design @ Intercom | ex-Google
“Kostya is a world-class design leader and recruiter. His recruiting philosophy and approach greatly inspired my own — I learned so much from him as he redesigned all of our hiring processes from scratch. I really admire how he takes great care with candidates to make sure they have a great experience and are always set up for success.”
Jonathon Colman, Content Design Leader @ Hubspot | ex-Intercom / Facebook
“Kostya took a bet on me early on in my career and had a huge impact on its trajectory. Our conversations always left me feeling inspired, motivated and valued. Kostya is not only insanely curious and driven—he also truly cares about the people he works with and has a high standard for himself and his team.”
Agnes Stenlund, Product Designer @ CEA | ex-Amie, Intercom, Basecamp
“Kostya's an amazing design leader and partner to work with. He demonstrated a keen eye for detail at Intercom, and I was also impressed at the passion he'd show for the product. He understands the broader business needs, and does a great job at hiring and empowering others to deliver impact.”
Amogh Sarda, Co-founder @ eesel.app | ex-Atlassian / Intercom
“Mariam was probably one of the best hires I've ever made as a CEO. She launched our hiring process in Pivot in the US and then expanded it over three continents in just two months. She'd been doing an exceptional job on all stages of the recruiting process. And then went beyond and helped us build onboarding, scoring, people development, and reviews inside the Company. Will definitely entrust all my next hirings to Mariam.”
Mike Peregudov, CEO @ Pivot | General Partner @ S16VC
