About Sergey
I've spent over a decade building tech teams for US and EU companies - and the last several years rethinking how recruiting actually works.
As CEO of Incorra, I lead a lean recruiting agency (3–5 people) that consistently outperforms firms 10x our size.
We specialize in senior-level engineering roles — AI/ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Platform Engineers, Full-Stack Developers - sourcing talent across the US and LATAM for startups and enterprise clients.
Our numbers speak for themselves: an average time-to-fill of 4 weeks, zero replacement hires to date, and a fastest-ever placement closed in 7 days.
What makes me different from most agency owners is that I'm equal parts recruiter and systems thinker. I've personally architected and built AI-powered automations that cover roughly 80% of our recruiting workflow - from resume screening and candidate-job matching to automated outreach, interview evaluation, and lead generation. The stack includes Claude API, Gemini API, ChatGPT API, n8n, Pipedrive, Loxo, Clay, and Instantly, all orchestrated into a system that lets a small team move faster than agencies with hundreds of recruiters.
Before Incorra, I built and ran an outstaffing company (DevMind), launched a startup - AI matching platform (RutaJob), and spent years in B2B sales and retail operations - where I first discovered that hiring the right people is the single highest-leverage thing a business can do.
I've been a hiring manager in every company I've ever worked for.
I bring three things to every engagement:
Deep understanding of technical roles and what makes a great engineer - not just on paper, but in practice.
An ability to see recruiting as a system of business processes that can be mapped, structured, and automated with AI.
Strong soft skills - empathy, trust-building, and the kind of detailed listening that lets me understand what a hiring manager actually needs, often before they fully articulate it themselves.
If you're hiring senior engineers and want a partner who combines recruiting expertise with an automation-first mindset - let's talk.
