About

Both sides of the same market

A person owns your mandate, not a portal.

Hummus Wolf is the employer-facing arm of Wolf Mentoring, which runs done-for-you job searches for engineering leaders. Those leaders hire us to own their search end to end.

That is the whole reason a shortlist can land in five days. The people we introduce are already in the market by their own choice, already talking to us, already positioned. We are not starting a search on your signature.

It also means both sides pay us, and we say so on the FAQ rather than waiting to be asked. We are paid only when a placement happens and holds, so the incentive is fit rather than volume. If we do not have strong leaders for your role, you hear it on the intake call.

Behind every shortlist is our calibration team: senior engineers from Amazon-scale orgs who have sat in the hiring loops your candidates will face. They sign off on fit before a name reaches you.

Founder, Hummus Wolf

I founded Hummus Wolf because both halves of leadership hiring are broken in the same way. Companies cold-source Directors and VPs who were never looking, and the leaders worth hiring run their own searches badly because nobody has the time to do it well.

So we work both sides. Wolf Mentoring runs done-for-you job searches for engineering leaders, which means by the time you open a mandate with us, the people we introduce are already in the market, already positioned and already talking to us.

On your side that means one point of contact who has read the resume, sat in the calibration and knows why each name is on your shortlist. If we do not have your person, you hear it on the first call.

  • Owns every client mandate end to end, from intake call to signed offer
  • Engineering leadership searches only, Manager through CTO
  • Backed by a calibration team of senior engineers from Amazon-scale orgs

Have a leadership role open? Let’s fill it.

On the intake call you find out whether we already have strong leaders for your role. If we don’t, you hear that too.
