BUILT FOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITERS
Recruit executive recruiters without reducing people to keywords.
Laidback turns one chief revenue officer brief into an evidence-backed search, a calibrated shortlist and research-led outreach, all reviewed by your team.
Review it on your roleTHE BRIEF KEEPS THESE FIXED
Laidback surfaces evidence for review. It does not turn a public source into an automatic legal or hiring decision.
The title is only the beginning.
Leadership search needs exhaustive mapping and careful interpretation, but the relationship work cannot be automated away.
Scope and stage calibration
The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.
Market mapping
The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.
Evidence-backed ranking

Discreet human outreach
The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.
From chief revenue officer brief to a shortlist you can defend.
Your team sets the bar. Laidback does the research, asks the calibration question and brings back evidence before any outreach leaves the building.

Different data finds different people.
For executive recruiters, Laidback reads the work and context around a profile, not just the words someone typed into it.
One brief becomes a search map
Titles, synonyms, adjacent paths, locations and proof sources run in parallel. The hard criteria stay fixed.
The whole top of funnel, with a human at the decision points.
Laidback is not another search box. It works alongside your team in Slack, moving the research and follow-through while people keep the judgment.
Calibrate the whole brief
Change seniority, market or scope and Laidback re-derives the complete intent.
Search beyond one database
Open-web evidence exposes work, trajectory and skills that title filters miss.
Score the same way every time
Deterministic reasoning makes the shortlist reproducible and inspectable.
Draft from real research
Candidate messages reference actual work rather than token personalisation.
Keep people in control
Your team approves candidate-facing messages and owns every hiring decision.
Keep the pipeline moving
Follow-ups, booked calls and reports return to the thread where the team works.

Inspect the methodologyQuestions about recruiting executive recruiters.
Can Laidback search for executive recruiters using hard requirements?+
Yes. Your team can mark requirements such as Scope and stage calibration and Market mapping as non-negotiable. Laidback shows the supporting source so a human can verify it.
What does Laidback evaluate for executive recruiters?+
It evaluates the whole brief, including Leadership scope, Company outcomes, Board and public records. It does not rank people from title and keyword overlap alone.
Does Laidback contact candidates automatically?+
Laidback drafts research-led messages and follow-ups. A human reviews candidate-facing outreach before it sends unless the team explicitly approves a defined workflow.
Does this replace our ATS or recruiting team?+
No. Laidback works alongside the team in Slack and writes finished work back to the systems you already use. Human judgment stays with your team.
How can we check why someone was shortlisted?+
Every recommendation includes the evidence and reasoning behind it. The same calibrated brief produces the same scoring logic, making the shortlist inspectable and reproducible.
