Jacob Kranz CEO & Founder at Alliance
“As a software engineer turned founder, I’ve met many recruiters. Digital Knack is the only firm I’ll be trusting with my business. Most recruiters focus on filling the role as a transaction. DK goes above & beyond. They vet to ensure I meet the most aligned talent while protecting candidate interests too.”
Melanie DabuPartner at Digital Knack
“Jacob, Founder of Alliance, is impassioned to build a great company vs. just a great product. This makes it not only rewarding to work with them but also incredibly fun! We are first-hand witnesses to Alliance treating people with the highest levels of integrity and transparency which is especially important for an early-stage startup. Thanks for trusting us, Alliance, we are honored.”
