About

KIMARU Talent offers specialized and agile recruitment services to VC-backed game studios and tech startups. 

We truly believe that business growth & success begins with recruitment and hold pride in what we do. With our expertise in startup recruitment, we often partner with Founders and Executives before they even have an internal recruitment team and grow our partnership as they grow.

About the Founder:

The Founder of KIMARU Talent, Rumiko Matsumoto, has been recruiting for startups in the mobile app, gaming, and ad-tech industries for nearly a decade. Partnering with reputable VCs, investors, and serial entrepreneurs, she has served as a trusted recruitment partner for hundreds of startups throughout the years.

Most recently, she led Talent Acquisition at Sensor Tower, a global SaaS startup that provides competitive mobile app industry insights.  She and her team scaled headcount by 5x as she hired the global leadership team and built the recruitment team and function from the ground up.
