How it works
We find the best people. You decide who fits.
Taylor uses advanced sourcing, matching and outreach to put top tier candidates in front of you, people who have already said yes to a conversation. We don't screen or interview them. That part stays with you, and it's why Taylor costs a fraction of an agency.
Why teams use Taylor
More of the right people, sooner
The whole market, not a database
We map every candidate in the market for your role and score each one against criteria you sign off before we start.
Only people who want to talk
Every candidate we introduce has seen your role and opted in. No cold resumes and no chasing.
Velocity, alongside your team
Run Taylor next to your in-house recruiters or agencies as a low cost boost to the top of your funnel when you need to move faster.
A fraction of the cost
No retainer and nothing up front. Agencies charge 20 to 25 percent of first-year salary to screen for you. We don't screen, so we don't charge like it.
What Taylor is not
Not a recruiting agency. We never interview candidates.
| Question | Traditional agency | Taylor |
|---|---|---|
| Where candidates come from | Their database and job posts | The full market, mapped fresh for your role |
| Who screens them | A recruiter phone screens and pitches them | No one. We check each profile against your criteria and confirm they want to talk |
| Who judges fit and chemistry | The recruiter, then you | You, in your interviews |
| Cost | 20 to 25 percent of first-year salary | A fraction of that, nothing up front |
| Exclusivity | Often required | Never. Use us alongside anyone |
What a Taylor match means
A match means the candidate's track record clears the bar you set, and they want to talk to you. It doesn't mean we've met them. Someone can look fantastic on paper and still not click in the room. That's what your interview is for, and it's why we don't charge agency fees.
Is Taylor right for you
Who it's for
A great fit
- Startups and growing companies hiring senior or hard-to-find roles in engineering, product, design, sales, finance or operations.
- Hiring managers who want the best people in front of them and are happy to run their own interviews.
- Teams already working with recruiters or agencies that need more top of funnel, fast.
- Teams that can set clear criteria and give a line of feedback on each candidate.
Not a fit
- Teams that want someone else to screen for culture fit before they meet anyone.
- Anyone expecting every intro to turn into a hire.
- High volume hourly hiring.
- Confidential searches where we can't describe the role to candidates.
- Recruiting agencies looking to hand off a search. We work with the company that's hiring.
