HiddenClient

Your next recruiting client just posted a job for a Director of Talent Acquisition.

A company posting recruiting and talent acquisition roles is about to build in-house the function your firm already runs, and they have not called anyone yet. Each morning by 7am we send you those companies with the decision-maker found and outreach written in your voice.

Our first client got 109 qualified leads across 88 companies in six weeks. Read the case study

Why a Head of Talent Acquisition posting is your best lead signal

A job posting tells you three things. The budget is approved. The need is public. And nobody is hired yet. For an RPO or recruiting firm, a company posting recruiting and talent acquisition roles is trying to build in-house the exact function you already run, and nobody is signed yet. One placement is a $20K to $30K fee. We watch LinkedIn plus the hiring systems companies post through, Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby, and we filter out staffing agencies, other recruiters, and reposted ghost listings so you do not waste mornings on a competitor's ad.

What a lead looks like

Director of Talent Acquisition

Veritas Growth Partners

Veritas Growth Partners is seeking a Director of Talent Acquisition to build our recruiting infrastructure, manage a team of three recruiters, and own our employer brand strategy. We are a 200-person private equity-backed company that needs to hire 60 people this year across sales, operations, and engineering.

Why this is a lead:

Veritas needs 60 hires this year and just admitted their recruiting function cannot deliver them. A Director search takes three to five months, then that person needs months more to build a team. Your firm can be generating interviews in two weeks. They budgeted $250K or more a year for internal recruiting infrastructure; an RPO retainer or a handful of $25K placements gets them output now instead.

Sound familiar?

  1. 1

    Lead databases sell the same stale posting list to every recruiter in town

  2. 2

    By the time a role reaches your network, three agencies have already pitched it

  3. 3

    Sourcing new clients eats the hours you should be spending filling searches

  4. 4

    Cold lists give you a company name but not the hiring manager or what to say

  5. 5

    Ghost postings and reposts burn your outreach on roles that were never real

The math: hiring vs. your firm

Hiring full-time

Director of Talent Acquisition

$140K-$190K/year

  • 60 to 90 day recruiting timeline
  • Benefits cost on top of salary
  • Single point of failure
  • Stuck with headcount when things slow down

Your firm instead

RPO Firms

$5K-$15K/month

A Director of Talent Acquisition plus a team of recruiters costs $250K-$400K per year before tools and benefits. An RPO firm provides the full recruiting function, including management, coordination, and sourcing, for a monthly retainer. Clients get immediate output rather than waiting for a leader to build a team from scratch.

See the leads in your market before you pay for anything.

We'll run the real engine on your market, free, for seven days. Real reports, real postings, real contacts. Then it stops.

One firm per market

We only work with one rpo firm firm per market.

Every lead in your market goes to you and nobody else. When your metro is taken, we turn the next firm away. That keeps the leads worth having, and it's the honest reason to decide before a competitor does.

$497 a month. That's the whole pricing page.

60-day money-back guarantee. Not satisfied? Full refund, no questions asked.

Frequently asked questions

Why would a company use my firm instead of the recruiter or TA leader they posted for?

Because the seat is costing them money right now. A TA Director search takes three to five months, then the new hire needs months more to ramp and build a team. Your firm can be generating interviews in two weeks. For hard-to-fill roles, the math is even simpler: a $25K placement fee is cheap next to a revenue role sitting empty for a quarter. The posting tells you the budget exists and nobody is in the seat yet.

How is this different from the staffing-lead databases I already get pitched?

Those databases dump raw postings on every recruiter who pays. We qualify each posting, filter out staffing agencies, other recruiters, and reposted ghost listings, then find the actual decision-maker with name, title, LinkedIn, and a verified email when we can find one, and write the outreach for you. You get 2 or 3 leads you can act on in ten minutes, not 200 rows to sift.

How do you handle ghost jobs and reposts?

They get filtered before your report goes out. Reposted listings and stale postings never make the list, and every lead shows when the posting went up and why it scored. Recruiters know better than anyone how many postings are not real searches, so we would rather send you 2 solid leads than pad the count.

How many leads should I expect?

Most mornings 2 or 3. Some mornings 6, some mornings 1. It depends on what companies in your target market actually posted. Each one is qualified against your criteria and comes with the decision-maker and outreach done, so a 2-lead morning still means two real conversations you can start before your first coffee.

What does the outreach look like, and who sends it?

Each lead includes a message drafted in your voice that references the exact posting, how long it has been open, and why your firm can fill it faster. You send it from your own email, so replies land with you. Tap the feedback button on any lead or email us and we adjust the tone or targeting the same day.

What does it cost, and am I locked in?

$497 a month, no setup fee, no contract, cancel anytime, with a 60-day money-back guarantee. One placement fee pays for years of it. We also run the same engine free for 7 days first, real reports every morning, then it stops. And we only work with one recruiting firm per niche per market, so your competitors are not getting the same list. Signup takes about 5 minutes and your first report arrives tomorrow morning.

From the Founder

Why I built this

I built Hidden Client because I kept seeing the same thing: a company posts a job, interviews for two months, and the firm that could have done the work never hears about it. That felt fixable with software, so I fixed it.

It's just me here, and I read every reply. If your leads are off, email me and your setup gets corrected the same day. That's the whole support department, and it's faster than most.
