Why this model?
Recruiters charge 20%+ up front and keep it either way. We don't.
Coach-vetted Stars
Every Star passed a six-dimension AI evaluation — you see the radar, scores, and spotlight before you reach out.
Half the recruiter cut
10% versus the typical 20-25% agency fee — and nothing at all until someone actually starts.
Aligned incentives
We only earn when your hire works out. If they leave inside 3 months, the fee comes back in full.
No middleman friction
Contact engineers directly the moment you unlock — no intro calls, no gatekeeping, no recruiter spam.
