Opportunity BasketQualified Candidate Routing Service (Human-Powered Pre-Screening)
A boutique pre-screening service that acts as a human filter between job boards and hiring managers. Clients post openings; the service sources candidates from multiple channels (job boards, LinkedIn, niche communities, referral networks), conducts structured phone/video interviews (15-20 min), and delivers only the top 3-5 genuinely qualified, interested candidates per role—eliminating 95% of noise before it reaches the hiring manager's inbox.

Value Proposition
Hiring managers see only pre-vetted, motivated candidates instead of 200+ applications. Faster time-to-hire (2-3 weeks vs. 6-8), lower cost than recruiting firms ($400-800/hire vs. $3k-8k), and eliminates the recruiting spam/bot problem entirely because humans do the initial filtering.

Hiring managers struggle to find and vet qualified candidates efficiently across distributed talent poolsCompanies actively hiring face a critical bottleneck: identifying genuinely interested, qualified candidates from massive applicant pools while filtering out recruiter spam and unqualified submissions. Current job boards and recruiting firms create friction, add costs, and fail to connect serious candidates with committed hiring teams. Hiring managers waste hours sorting through irrelevant applications and managing multiple platforms instead of focusing on actual hiring decisions.
