FAQ’s
We’re not another recruiting service trying to win your business. We offer a software platform for you to transparently connect with trained, vetted talent anytime, then you can add your favorite candidates to your existing recruiting funnel.
Many of our candidates are just transitioning into the working world after years of competitive sports or military service. So, while their existing work experience may place them at a more junior level, they prepare, practice, and execute like seasoned professionals. We also have experienced candidates that you can easily find in the platform.
To start you’ll search for candidates and filter the results based on location, demographics, work location preference, and start date. Then, from your Company Dashboard you’ll be able to see the candidates you’ve favorited and started conversations with, and can request specific next steps such as interviews and assignments.
