Why SilentHire exists
I worked as a recruiter myself for years – and kept running into the same problem: constantly chasing new mandates instead of focusing on what actually matters: finding and placing great candidates.
Read the full story
So I wished for a platform where companies and recruiters could meet directly – without cold-calling on either side. For companies, that means: several recruiters search in parallel, so the role gets filled faster and with better odds. For recruiters, it means: real mandates from companies that actively want to fill a role – instead of spending time convincing anyone to work with you.
Yes, more recruiters on one role also means more competition. But to me that was never a downside – it's a fair deal: not whoever calls first, but whoever actually delivers the right candidate profile, gets the placement. Good work wins – and that's exactly what makes working as a recruiter worthwhile again. SilentHire itself does not place candidates: we are the neutral platform, and only the registered recruiters do the placing.
That's exactly why SilentHire exists – for companies and recruiters who both want to win.
Frequently asked questions
What companies want to know first
What does SilentHire cost for companies?
Nothing. Companies use SilentHire without a platform fee – including for their team. Costs only arise from working with the recruiter: the agreed fee for a successful placement, or the billing rate for temporary staffing.
How does my company stay anonymous?
Job postings are displayed anonymized. Contact details are only released once you accept a candidate profile – after that, communication runs directly between you and the recruiter.
Do recruiters and companies need to verify themselves?
Yes. Both recruiters and companies are reviewed and verified by SilentHire before any first exchange – usually within 24 hours of submitting the profile. This protects both sides from fake profiles and ensures serious requests.
Can I decline a candidate profile?
Yes. You decide freely which candidate profiles you accept. No contact is established as long as you don't accept.
