For companies and recruiters
Why SilentHire?
What changes when companies and recruiters work together through SilentHire – at a glance.
Before and with SilentHire
The same platform, a different benefit for each side.
For companies
Before: Your company name is in every job ad and every agency request.
With SilentHire: Your company name stays hidden until you accept a candidate profile.
Before: Briefing, chasing and comparing every agency separately.
With SilentHire: One briefing reaches several verified recruiters – without exclusivity.
Before: The cost only becomes clear in a call or in the contract.
With SilentHire: The fee or billing rate is shown on every candidate profile before you commit.
Before: CVs arrive by email, with no proof of consent.
With SilentHire: Profiles are checked for contact details, and consent is documented with a timestamp.
For recruiters
Before: Cold-calling companies that may not even be hiring.
With SilentHire: You only see real search mandates with a concrete need.
Before: Whoever calls first gets the mandate.
With SilentHire: The right candidate profile wins, not the fastest call.
Before: Your fee is negotiated case by case, often under time pressure.
With SilentHire: You state your rate on every proposal and keep 100% of it.
Before: The CV goes out before you know whether the company is serious.
With SilentHire: You present anonymously; contact details are only shared once the company accepts.

Clarify questions before anyone reveals their identity
Every candidate profile has its own anonymous chat directly on SilentHire.
Messages stay anonymous until the contact release — emails, phone numbers and links are blocked automatically.
Company
Is the candidate currently serving notice or still permanently employed?
Recruiter
Currently permanently employed, 4 weeks' notice to the end of the month.
Company
Sounds good. What about the salary expectation?
Recruiter
Between €75,000 and €85,000 annual gross, negotiable.
Only once a candidate profile is accepted do both sides receive the contact details, by email and in the request.
Recruiting without the noise – with clear rules for both sides.
Free for companies, a subscription instead of commission for recruiters.
