The hiring platform built for both sides

Companies post and hire — without agency fees. Candidates control their careers — without getting ghosted. One platform replacing the patchwork of job boards, ATS tools, and black-box processes.

The Problem

Hiring is broken — for companies and candidates.

Companies overpay for agencies, juggle disconnected tools, and lose great candidates to slow processes. Candidates get ghosted, spammed, and have zero control. Everyone deserves better.

Agency Fees Are Out of Control

You're paying 25–30% of salary per hire to agencies — that's $30K on a single $100K role. For most positions, there's a better way.

Candidates Get Ghosted

75% of applications get zero response. Top talent moves on to companies that actually communicate — and you lose them.

Hiring Takes Too Long

Weeks of back-and-forth between job boards, agencies, and spreadsheets. By the time you make an offer, your best candidate took another role.

Your Tools Don't Talk to Each Other

Job boards, ATS, email, scheduling — four logins, four dashboards, zero unified view. Data falls through the cracks.

Candidates Have No Control

No way to block specific employers, no visibility into where their data goes, no say in who contacts them. Trust is broken.

No Visibility Into Your Pipeline

Your CEO asks 'how's hiring going?' and you scramble to pull numbers from three different systems. Sound familiar?

The Numbers Don't Lie

Hiring is expensive, slow, and broken for everyone.

Companies overpay for middlemen. Candidates get ghosted. And the tools meant to fix it just add more complexity. Here's what the data says.

20–30%

Agency Fee Tax

Traditional agencies charge 20–30% of first-year salary per hire. A single $100K role costs up to $30,000 in placement fees alone.

SHRM Benchmarking Data

75%

Applications Ignored

Three out of four job applications receive zero response from employers — no acknowledgment, no timeline, no closure.

CareerBuilder / HCI Research

76%

Broken Tech Stacks

Only 24% of HR functions are maximizing value from their technology — the rest are stuck with fragmented, disconnected tools.

Privacy First

Privacy that actually means something

Hiring runs on trust. TalentSource gives candidates real control — not a buried settings page nobody finds.

Company Blocking

Candidates block specific employers from seeing their profile. Working at Acme and job hunting? Acme will never know.

Masked & Invite-Only Jobs

Companies post confidential searches without revealing who they are. Only pre-qualified, invited candidates get access.

Candidate-Controlled Visibility

Public, anonymized, or fully hidden — candidates decide exactly who sees their profile and how they can be contacted.

Response Automations

Candidates set rules for inbound messages — auto-reply to hiring teams, filter by role type or salary range, and never miss an opportunity that fits.

Three Sides, One Platform

Everyone wins when everyone's connected

Companies get better hires. Candidates land better roles. That's what happens when you stop fragmenting the hiring process across a dozen disconnected tools.
