Frequently asked questions
The questions internal recruiting leaders actually ask before they build with us.
? Isn't building harder than just buying a SaaS tool?
Most teams buy a tool and stall on the hard part — workflow design, data quality, recruiter adoption, governance. That's where the ROI dies. We do that part with you and hand over a working system. You get the outcome of building without the multi-quarter R&D.
? How is this different from an agency or RPO?
An agency rents you their effort, then walks away with the relationship and the data. We build you the capability and walk away leaving you the asset — the agents, sequences, and data are yours to keep.
? We already have an ATS and some tools. Does this replace them?
No — we build the sourcing and engagement layer on top of what you own. Modular by design: your ATS stays the system-of-record, and we add the speed layer around it.
? What happens to everything if we stop working with you?
You keep all of it. That's the entire point. No lock-in, no "our platform owns your pipeline." The system, the data, and the playbooks stay with your team.
? Will candidates be able to tell it's automated?
Only if it's bad. Spray-and-pray gets ignored — InMail reply rates are under 10%, and people hang up the second something feels robotic. We build personalized, signal-driven sequences that read like a recruiter who did their homework. Personalized outreach replies at roughly 18% vs ~6% for templates.
? Who's behind this?
Isaac Marks — an ex-staffing founder who built and exited a recruiting firm (
LinkedIn →). He builds custom sourcing systems that ingest your previous hires, the companies they came from, and the traits they share, then reverse-engineer that pattern to source the same type of candidates. Data points, not spray and pray. You end up owning the asset
and understanding how it runs.
? How fast until something is live?
A Build Sprint stands up your first working sourcing system for one role family, so you see it run before committing to more. Book a build session and we'll scope the timeline against your roles.
