Plugging you and your candidates into the world's elite startups.
Great specs at high-growth companies across the US and overseas. Roles you don't have to win on your own, across every function they hire for.
Your candidates stay on your bench. As new roles open, we match them automatically — you never re-pitch or start over.
Get paid before you place.
Bonuses pay on interviews and activity — not just closed placements — so you’re earning long before the offer.

FAQ
Questions
What does it cost to join?
Nothing. No subscriptions, no listing fees, no exclusivity. You only ever earn.
Do I have to give up my own clients?
No. You keep every client and relationship, and layer our signed mandates on top.
How much do I get paid?
Up to 20% of the candidate’s first-year base salary, set per role and shown before you submit.
Is there a volume or placement requirement?
No quotas. Send one candidate or a hundred, the deal is the same.
Placements carry a 90-day client guarantee. Inside that window your payout is prorated to time worked, not clawed back in full. After 90 days your fee is yours.
