About

StartupTAP is not a conventional recruiting agency. We stand behind the belief that talent is the magical ingredient that fuels innovative ideas and builds successful startups. A great idea can only go so far without the right mix of talented, driven people working vigorously toward the same goals. We don’t just provide resumes and candidates; we’ll be your Talent Acquisition Partners in crime, doing all the dirty work to find those rare gems, the people that have that unique blend of talent, drive and passion that will bring fresh energy, ability and ideas to your team. So, while you’re busy changing the world, let us be your Talent Acquisition Partners, it’s what we do best.

Daniel gets things done. Before starting Startup TAP, he worked under the direction of Todd Gitlin of Safire Partners, where he learned to sweat the small stuff as much as the big. He approaches every client’s business as if it were his own, with the tenacity of an entrepreneur and an intense focus on getting the job done. Work with him and you’ll most likely receive 3 a.m. emails solving your latest recruiting conundrums; when (or if) he actually sleeps, no one knows for sure.

He is a people person. Brogrammers to Fashionistas. Web Entrepreneurs to Accountants. Brain Scientists to Fighter Pilots. He has a keen understanding of both the client’s needs and the candidate’s requirements, and strives to accommodate both. Daniel makes the connections work.

He was once considered the “nicest guy in recruiting” but is currently ranked #13. When he's not working, Daniel can be found...oh, who are we kidding? He's probably emailing you right now.

A founding partner of StartupTAP, Noya has a genuine approach to everything he does and has an amazing knack for bringing order to chaos. When Plan A fails, he can talk everyone off of the proverbial ledge and at the same time develop Recruiting Solutions Plan B, C and D.

He combines his technical expertise with strategic sensibilities, resulting in a “freakishly smart” strategist, who is the kind of guy you want to go to battle with.

Years of experience with clients from all industries, Noya knows that clients need more than just another business partner, they need someone in the lifeboat with them, someone who believes that they have a stake in your success too.

If he had a dollar for every time he heard the phrase "Can You Look At My Resume?" he wouldn’t be able to retire, but he could buy a few rounds at the bar.
