The hire is the tip of the iceberg. Underneath is how your company runs its people operations.

Every hire is only as good as the system it lands in. Today the best teams have their people run the agents and automations that handle the repeat work. We call it PROps™: People and Robot Ops.

What is Coka?

Coka is a talent and people operations firm built on technology. We bring the right people to amplify your business and the right tech to amplify your people. We care like humans and run like robots. We find the right hire, fast, and build the systems that help your HR and talent teams run at their best.

What roles do you hire for?

Engineering, product, operations, go-to-market, people and leadership roles for high-growth deep tech companies in robotics, energy, chips, photonics and AI infrastructure, and for the software companies building alongside them.

How does pricing work?

One monthly fee per open role, with no placement fee and no cap on hires. Add or swap roles as your plan changes.

Do you work with our in-house team?

Yes. Our team of recruiters and operators embeds with yours. We join your tools and channels and work alongside your internal teams, so we represent your brand the way you would and understand the nuance that lets us add the most value.

How is this different from a traditional search firm?

A traditional search firm charges a fee on each hire and starts every search from scratch. We charge a flat monthly fee per role, work embedded with your team, and use our technology to compress time to hire and improve the processes that underlie it. We carry what we learn from each search into the next, so the next hire starts ahead.

What is PROps™?

People and Robot Ops: the next step for HR and talent teams after People Ops, one where people work with agentic teams and automation. We build the agents and automations that handle the repeat work in areas like onboarding, performance management, payroll and interview scheduling. Coka builds the systems. The robots run the steps. Your people own the outcome.
