India's hiring marketplace

The problem
Vendor hiring today runs on email threads and WhatsApp groups
No single source of truth for submissions, pipeline status, or who's owed what — on either side of the table.
8-10 hrs
Lost every week
HR teams spend 8-10 hours a week just coordinating 10-20 agencies over email and WhatsApp.
60-70%
Resumes don't match
Most submitted resumes don't meet basic JD requirements — with no way to hold a recruiter accountable.
60-90 days
Payment delays
30-40% of freelance recruiters report payment delays of 60-90 days after a candidate joins.
How it works
One pipeline, both sides, paid on milestone
01
Post a job
Set the role, referral fee, and whether it's open marketplace or invite-only.
02
Recruiters submit
Freelancers and consultancies submit candidates with timestamped, deduplicated ownership.
03
Track live
Both sides see the same pipeline, feedback, and interview schedule in real time.
04
Pay on joining
Fees sit in escrow from offer acceptance and release after the guarantee joins — no chasing.
Pipeline view
See every candidate, every stage, every recruiter — one board
Drag-and-drop pipeline with real-time collaboration. Both companies and recruiters see the same live view.
