Vetting

Every profile, hand-reviewed.

No scraped resumes, no bot traffic, no passive directory. A small bar, applied consistently.

Hand-vetted

Humans review every application.

Our team reads each profile, checks the work, and approves the few that meet the bar. Most applicants don't.

Senior bar

Five+ years, shipped outcomes.

Operators who have led work and own outcomes — not generalists waiting for a brief. Every claim is backed by a reference.

Active

Interviewed in the last 60 days.

We refresh the directory monthly. If an operator goes quiet for two months, they roll off until they re-engage.

The tech

Matching that outperforms keywords.

Our matching stack is built for senior hiring, not job-board indexing. Every brief becomes a rubric, every operator a structured profile.

  1. 01

    Briefs become AI scoring rubrics.

    Tell us what success looks like. We turn it into weighted criteria and rank every match on signal, not buzzwords.

  2. 02

    Loom intros land before the call.

    Every shortlist arrives with a 60-second video recorded by the operator. You hear them before you book them.

  3. 03

    References checked in advance.

    Three calls — peer, manager, report — collected during vetting. The relevant ones surface on each shortlist.

What it costs to hire

One fee. No hidden cut.

One placement fee when we match you with vetted talent — no cut of every paycheck, no annual lock-in. Choose how you pay, then choose how they're employed.

0%
Pay once

The whole finder's fee.

A single placement fee on the total contract value — below the 20–25% agencies charge. Then $0/mo if you keep them as a contractor of record.

0%
Or spread it

Spread over a year.

The same hire as twelve equal monthly payments — choose by cash-flow, not by what you get.
