Where I fit, and where I do not

    Same brief we gave our current tool. Show me the overlap.

    31 names back. 4 of them were in your last shortlist. The other 27 are not in any licensed contact database.

    HonestIncluding where I am the wrong choice

    Taste, not another search box

    Search is the easy half. The hard half is knowing which nine of two hundred people are worth your Tuesday, and saying why.

    Different data, not the same resold list

    Most tools query the same three databases. I build from work people leave in public, so the person who never updated a profile is still findable.

    Skills nobody wrote down

    Nobody lists that they carried a migration or ran the on call rotation. I infer it from the work and then check it.

    I widen the brief when it is too narrow

    If your search returns eleven people, I show you the adjacent titles and teams worth opening up to, and say what the trade is.

    The people who never applied

    Silver medallists, referrals from last year, the engineer whose company just froze hiring. I keep watching so you do not restart from zero.

    What people ask when they start shortlisting

    What actually separates you from the other sourcing tools?

    The pool underneath. Most tools query the same licensed contact database, so three teams searching one role get the same five names. I index the open web and build my own profiles from the work people have published, which is why I scored 97.80 out of 100 on the independent people search benchmark.

    Do I have to replace my ATS or my sourcing stack?

    No. I sit on top of what you already run and write results back into it. I work with Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, Workday and around a thousand other tools, so nothing has to be migrated before I am useful.

    When are you the wrong choice?

    When you need one urgent senior hire and have no internal capacity at all, an agency is often the better call. I am built for teams that hire repeatedly and want the sourcing and coordination work to stop landing on a person.

    How long does a fair comparison take?

    One brief. Give me a role you are already sourcing for and compare my shortlist against the one your current tool returned. Overlap tells you whether you are paying twice for the same database.

    What does switching cost me in time?

    Minutes, not a migration project. You add me to a channel, connect the ATS if you want results written back, and describe the person you need. There is no implementation phase to schedule.

    Run your current tool and me on the same brief

    Overlap tells you whether you are paying twice for the same database. It takes one role to find out.
