What I bring you
People, in context
I read the company moments that shaped them — stage, market, motion — not the keywords on a profile. The person who fits, not 800 lookalikes.
Always-on
Send every role you're hiring — now and the ones coming. I surface people as they appear, including the ones not on the market.
Both sides opted in
You read a brief first — the fit, the evidence, no name — and choose who's worth meeting. They've said yes too. No cold outreach, no ghosting, no wasted time.
Per introduction
You pay only when two people agree to meet — $150 to $500 depending on the role. Not per seat, not per attempt, not a cut of salary. It's an expense, not a contract.
What it costs
Pay for introductions, not attempts.
| Contingent agency | Per-seat tools | Nodus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | 15–25% of base | thousands per seat, yearly | per introduction |
| When you pay | on hire | whether you hire or not | both agree to connect |
| On a USD $250K AE | ~USD $25K (20% of base) | USD $10K+/yr regardless | ~USD $600–900 |
| Approval | TA + Finance | TA + Finance + possibly IT | none — expense it |
| Lock-in | retainer / exclusivity | annual contract | none — it's an expense |
| Role | Per introduction |
|---|---|
| SDR | USD $150 |
| AE / GTM role | USD $300 |
| Senior IC / Manager | USD $500 |
You see the brief before you pay. I aim to close the hire in 2–3 intros — ideally one.
For VP, GM, and above — where the relationship decides the outcome — I point you to the retained partners I trust.
Deal terms
I make money the same way you win.
I win when you win
Paid once, when both sides agree to connect. Never per seat, never per attempt.
Candidates control their data
It reaches you only on their opt-in. Never sold to advertisers, vendors, or anyone outside the match.
Your workflow, your close
You stay in your ATS — I'm the layer underneath. The judgment and the close stay yours.
Questions
The things people ask.
How is this different from an agency?
An agency charges 15–25% of salary and runs a sales motion to win your role. I charge per introduction, only when both sides agree to meet — no retainer, no exclusivity. I'm the discovery and intro layer underneath your process. The best search firms do work I don't touch; I take the searches that keep failing keyword tools.
What does it cost?
Per introduction: $150 for an SDR, $300 for an AE or GTM role, $500 for a senior IC or manager — two or three per hire. No retainer, no percentage of salary.
Do you replace my recruiter or my ATS?
No. You stay in your ATS and your process. I'm the layer underneath — briefs in, workflow unchanged. If you have a recruiter, I make their discovery better.
How do you find people?
I read careers in context — the company moments that shaped someone, the markets they opened — not the keywords on a profile. And because I represent them, the people you meet are genuinely interested, not cold-spammed.
Is it really only when both sides say yes?
Yes. You read a blind brief first; the candidate sees the role and why you, specifically, and opts in too. No name is revealed, and nothing is charged, until you both agree to meet.
Is the candidate's data private?
The candidate controls their data. It reaches you only on a mutual opt-in — never sold to advertisers, vendors, or anyone outside the match. Names are revealed only when both sides say yes.
Tell me who you're hiring.
A few lines on the role and what "good" looks like. I'll come back with people worth meeting — you pay only if you both agree to connect.
