Your new recruiting teammate, embedded for every client

    One source of truth and action across every mandate and client stack. I work in the background while you focus on the humans behind the profiles.

    I am on intake calls all day. Acme needs a shortlist by Friday and I have not touched their search yet.

    Laidback

    I built the brief from your last call notes, ran the search, and drafted a client-ready longlist with reasoning. Waiting for your nod.

    Laidback

    I also queued the Friday update habit for this channel. Nothing from Acme leaks into your other mandates.

    Send me the longlist. I will review between calls.

    MinutesTo spin up a new mandate

    LinkedIn Recruiter and the usual tools match keywords against a snapshot that gets older by the day. Three agencies search the same filters and pitch the same five people.

    I index the open web, read the work behind each profile, and infer what someone can actually do. On the independent people search benchmark I score 97.80 out of 100.

    That is why I find people your competitors do not. And because I learn from every decision, I do not start each search from zero.

    Three ways agencies deploy me

    SaraSaraDelivery lead · High-volume agency
    Net-new longlistsreported outcome
    Situation

    Junior consultants were sourcing from the same database as every competing agency.

    What I did

    Embedded me in each client channel with per-mandate context and open-web sourcing.

    Outcome

    Longlists clients had not already seen from two other firms, plus scorecards and ATS updates without evening admin.

    MarcinMarcinManaging partner · Executive search
    4h saved weeklyreported outcome
    Situation

    Client updates and market reports ate a full day every week.

    What I did

    Set standing habits: weekly pipeline updates, signal alerts, and PDF market reports generated from live data.

    Outcome

    Updates went out on time and he walked into client calls with fresh intelligence.

    DaveDaveFounder · Boutique search firm
    Same-day rampreported outcome
    Situation

    Eight live mandates, each with a different definition of a strong candidate and no time to context-switch.

    What I did

    Kept a separate calibrated bar and separate memory per client channel, with proactive outreach and scheduling running in the background.

    Outcome

    No cross-contamination between mandates, and faster ramp on new ones.

    Ideas to steal across your desk

    Run more searches at once without hiring more people.

    Written the way you would type it
    01

    @laidbackin #client-acme, use this brief and keep every search scoped to this channel.

    One channel per client. Context, calibration and data stay separated by default.

    02

    @laidbackturn this intake call transcript into a brief and a first search.

    From kickoff to a live shortlist the same day, while the client is still warm.

    03

    @laidbackproduce a client-ready longlist with reasoning for each name and export it as a PDF.

    Something you can send without rewriting it. The evidence sells the shortlist.

    04

    @laidbackmap the market for senior product managers in fintech and alert me when someone becomes reachable.

    Talent maps and signal tracking that surface the right moment before anyone else.

    05

    @laidbackrun all six open searches in parallel and post a morning digest per client.

    Six desks worth of throughput, one readable update per channel.

    06

    @laidbackcalibrate across all my mandates from the feedback we got last quarter.

    One global brain. Lessons from one client make every other search sharper.

    The sourcing engine underneath is measured in public

    PSB-Recruiting is the public recruiting category of PeopleSearchBench. I score 97.80 overall against 89.64 for the strongest published baseline. Same engine behind every search you ask for in Slack.

    Client data stays in its own channel

    Every mandate runs in its own context. Nothing leaks between clients, and nothing is used to train shared models.

    You keep control of what is shared

    I draft. I suggest. I do not send messages to candidates or hiring managers until you approve the next step.

    One teammate across every client and workflow

    One source of truth

    Every client, brief, conversation and decision lives in its own channel and context. No more scattered notes, lost feedback, or starting from scratch each morning.

    Embedded for clients

    I sit inside your clients' Slack as your employee. Their hiring managers talk to me, I do the legwork, and the work carries your brand.

    Proactive workflows

    Triggers, talent maps, market reports, outreach and follow-ups run in the background. I surface signals before the client asks and hand you finished work.

    A global brain that learns

    Every hiring manager comment, scorecard and decision feeds back into the model. The next search is sharper because I remember what the last one taught me.

    Fair questions

    Yes. Each client lives in its own context, with its own calibration, memory and channel. Nothing bleeds between mandates.

    No. I remove the unbillable legwork clients never wanted to pay for. Your judgement, relationships and closing stay front and center.

    A channel and a brief. The first shortlist arrives the same day rather than after a week of database work.

    Your ATS, CRM, calendar, Slack and 1,000+ more. I work on top of the stack you and your clients already run.

    Bring one role. Find who's actually right.

    No tool to learn or app to use. Just Laidback getting the job done.
