A senior-specialist and executive search firm built to run fewer searches at a time, properly.

Restart is built to run executive and senior-specialist search across six practice groups, deliberately slow: one director per search, the market mapped properly, candidates approached directly, a written shortlist rationale on every hire, and a two-year hire test. The internal stack enforces that standard: structured scorecard screening per role so every brief is judged the same way, and reporting across open roles, pipeline and time-to-fill.

We built the brand, the marketing site, and the full recruiter portal behind them: candidates, clients, jobs, interviews, offers and placements, an outreach engine over Outlook OAuth, and Docusign and Stripe webhook integrations. The security model is structural: forced Postgres row-level security on eight core tables, per-request membership re-checks, and TOTP sign-in with hashed one-time recovery codes, pinned by eleven invariant tests so a later change cannot quietly regress it.
