How it works

Know the market before you need it.

Most hiring starts when a role opens. Ours starts months earlier. We map the people, warm them to the employer, bring them into the same room, and hand over candidates who have already met you.

The engine

Four stages, one market at a time, measured end to end.

The same method runs in every market. Each new market is quicker to start, because the profiles, campaigns and pipeline already exist.

01

Map

Count the people in a market who could fill each role, and keep the count current. Every number shows how it was made and when.

Market map
02

Warm

Forward employment warming. Put the employer in front of that audience with project news and its people, months before a role is advertised.

Paid social · market notes
03

Meet

Bring the crew together in real life. Crew nights and site talks where members meet the founding members' leaders. Then invite people to join the crew and to apply.

04

Hire

Candidates go into the employer's own ATS with a tagged source, move through agreed stages and are hired against approved openings.

Your ATS

Measured end to end: pool → reached → engaged → applied → screened → interviewed → offered → hired

Stage one · The map

A counted pool, not an estimate.

Raw profile counts are inflated and easy to pick apart. So for every profile in every city we report four nested numbers, each defined well enough to be checked independently.

TierWho is in itHow it is produced
A · AddressableEveryone whose current title and location match the profile.Structured public-profile search across the title variants for each profile, within reach of the seat.
B · QualifiedAddressable people who meet the must-haves: years, project scale, signs of progression.Screened against the written criteria, with a quoted piece of evidence for each one.
C · ReachableQualified people with signs they might move: tenure, a project ending, a new designation.Signals, labelled as signals. They show someone might be open to a move, not that they want one.
D · EngagedReachable people who have engaged with the employer or joined the community.Consented members and campaign responses. This tier grows every month.
Dated

Every count has a date and a query

So the number in a proposal can be traced back to exactly how it was made.

Checked

Samples are checked by hand

Each cell gets a hand-checked sample, and we report how many of the matches were right.

Private

People stay as counts

The map holds counts and evidence. Individuals are contacted only through the consented route.

Stages two and three · Warm and meet

The first message is never a job ad.

Campaigns run like a sales sequence. Each audience comes from the map, so the spend reaches only people who could do the work.

Weeks 1–3

Awareness

What the employer is building, where and at what scale.

Weeks 3–5

Proof

Their people and their work: what juniors learn there and how fast they grow.

Weeks 4–6

In the room

A crew night in the region. The employer's leaders talk about the program, and people meet them face to face.

Weeks 5 on

Ask

Roles shown first to members who have seen and met the employer. Direct outreach to the best fits.

A recruiter calling on behalf of an employer the candidate has seen four times and met in person gets a very different first conversation from a cold call.

Stage four · The pipeline

Candidates go into your ATS. Everyone can see who has them.

We don't replace your applicant tracking system. Every candidate goes in with a source tag, so direct hiring and agency hiring can be compared on the same seats.

  • New sources in the ATS: community, campaign and direct outreach, sitting next to the existing agency sources.
  • One job per profile, openings per city, so every hire is tied to approved headcount.
  • People who fit later go into a talent pool, not the bin. They are the first call for the next site.

The live view

What the executive and the hiring manager see.

A live dashboard, read straight from the ATS. It shows the funnel by profile and city, direct against agency, and the candidates waiting too long at any stage.
