This is how we're different:
​
Technology Forward – We use a technology forward approach that leverages the plethora of data found on the internet. We triangulate data from multiple sources, mine candidate data, and build unique target lists of 100 – 1000 candidates for each search that we take on. Our approach involves deep data mining of information found on sites such as CrunchBase, LinkedIn, Twitter, TechCrunch, industry blogs, conference listings, publications, SEC filings, patents, and any nugget of information that Google search allows us to identify.
​
Digital Communication – We leverage digital communications to quickly communicate to our target list and introduce potential candidates to our client’s opportunity. We understand the response rates to each form of communication – e.g. LinkedIn InMail (initial 13% -- 34% response rate), personal email (additional 7% – 10% response rate), corporate email (additional 10% -- 12% response rate) – and we consistently receive an overall response rate of 30% -- 45% from our target list.
​
Viral Approach – We build our communications with the intent that they will go viral – our viral approach expands the candidate pool by quickly leveraging referrals from our target list that result in a 3% – 5% increase in qualified candidates.
