One placement fee covers a lot of booked meetings

Staffing economics are brutal in one direction and generous in the other. You carry all the risk until a placement lands. Then the fee runs thousands per hire, and a contract placement keeps paying margin for every week the contractor stays on assignment. Against that, the cost of one booked intake meeting with a company that is actively hiring barely registers. ROI was never the problem. The problem is where new job orders come from. Most firms live off referrals and reactivated accounts, and both dry up without warning. So recruiters get pulled into business development, and every hour they spend chasing new logos is an hour they are not filling open reqs. We take that hour back. You pay per booked intake meeting, and a slow week costs you nothing.

Business Development, The Usual Way

Recruiter hours spent prospecting, not placing

  • Recruiters split the day between filling reqs and hunting job orders
  • Referrals plateau and reactivations eventually run out
  • Cold calls land in the same HR voicemail every competitor hits
  • A month with zero new job orders still costs full salaries

Pay Per Booked Meeting

One flat rate /booked intake meeting

  • You pay when a qualified intake meeting lands on a recruiter's calendar
  • Every prospect verified as hiring from their own website
  • No-shows replaced free within 5 business days
  • No retainers, no monthly fees, cancel anytime

Companies actively trying to hire, not maybe-someday prospects

The employers who need people this quarter rarely have a talent team. They are owner-operators: a general contractor short a crew, a warehouse manager staring at a headcount target, a service business that has had the same three roles open for months. These buyers are SMS-native. They run their day from a phone, answer texts between jobs, and screen every unknown call. Hiring demand in the trades stays strong, which keeps this pool deep. We open a conversation about the roles they cannot fill, qualify them against your bar, and book the intake call: who they need, how many, by when, and what has kept the seats empty.

Skilled Trades & Construction

General contractors and subs with open crew slots. Owners pick the meeting time themselves, right inside the text thread.

Light Industrial & Logistics

Warehouses, manufacturers, and distribution operations where an ops manager owns the hiring target and feels the pain of missing it.

Local Service Employers

Healthcare support, hospitality, home services. Chronic openings, no internal recruiter, and a decision-maker who reads every text.

We find hiring companies by evidence, not guesswork

Cheap lead vendors sell staffing firms the same resold contact dumps they sell everyone else. We do not buy lists. Every prospect is sourced in-house and verified against the live business website of the company's own website, which is where hiring intent actually shows: a careers page, open job posts, a now-hiring banner. If the evidence is not there, the company does not make your list. Here is the pipeline every contact passes before the first text goes out. The full machine is documented on the how it works page.

01

Sourced from live search

Prospects are sourced in-house in your target industries and metros. Built fresh for your campaign, never recycled.

02

Crawled for hiring evidence

We crawl each company's live website for the signals that matter: careers pages, open job listings, now-hiring language.

03

Phone-verified

Every number is verified before launch, so your campaign talks to working lines instead of dead data.

04

Quality-scored

Each record is scored on evidence strength and fit, so the strongest hiring prospects get texted first.

05

Deduped and DNC-suppressed

Duplicates removed, do-not-contact numbers suppressed. Clean list, clean sending, no burned brand.

06

Matched to your criteria

The list is built to the one-page qualification doc you sign at kickoff: industries, company size, roles, decision-maker.

From first text to a confirmed intake call

Nobody replies to "want to hear about our staffing services". Our openers lead with the outcome the employer wants: the crew slot filled, the second shift covered, the role that has been open since spring finally closed. From there it is a real two-way conversation, not a blast. The same machine that runs our whole B2B appointment setting division runs your campaign, and our own campaigns hold a 40% reply rate because the message is about their problem, not our pitch.

01

Outcome-led opener

The first message is about the roles they are trying to fill and the cost of the empty seat. Never about us.

02

A real conversation

The AI SDR answers questions and handles objections in plain language. Interested employers move forward. Everyone else is left alone.

03

Qualified against your bar

Headcount, roles, timeline, decision-maker, confirmed hiring intent. Your signed doc decides who gets through.

04

Booked on your calendar

The employer picks a time on your recruiter's calendar inside the SMS thread. That moment is logged and transcripted.

05

Double-confirmed

A 24-hour, 2-hour, and 15-minute confirmation sequence runs before every meeting. Baseline show rate is 60%, and the sequence pushes it higher.

Every billed meeting comes with receipts

Pay-per-appointment has a known failure mode: vendors booking junk volume to hit invoice counts. Every mechanic below exists to make that impossible here. You audit us whenever you want.

The Billing Trigger

Booked, double-confirmed, on your criteria

You are charged when an intake meeting is booked on your calendar, double-confirmed, and matches the qualification doc you signed. Not for leads, not for activity, not for effort.

The 10-Minute Rule

You never pay for a ghost twice

If the employer has not shown within 10 minutes of start time, the meeting is not counted as held. We rebook or replace it within 5 business days, free.

Your Written Criteria

Off-criteria means free

One page, signed at kickoff: which companies, which roles, what counts as confirmed hiring intent. A meeting outside it is replaced or credited without argument.

The Paper Trail

A transcript behind every charge

Every billed meeting comes with the SMS transcript where the employer chose the time, plus the full confirmation log. Weekly statement, optional weekly cap.

One flat rate per booked meeting, quoted for your desk

We do not publish a rate card, and here is the honest reason: the rate depends on your niche, your qualification bar, and how many meetings you can take. A trades desk with a wide bar prices differently than a healthcare desk that needs credentialed employers of a certain size. A 15-minute call gets you the exact per-meeting rate and a one-time setup quote on the spot. The quote is the number. No layered fees appear later. The full billing mechanics are on the pricing page.

The one-time setup covers your list build, campaign build, calendar integration, and the qualification doc. After that, the only thing you ever pay for is a booked, double-confirmed meeting. No retainers, no monthly fees, no minimums. Prepaid packs exist only as a discount lever, never as a requirement.

We screen clients too. This works when you have a clear niche, capacity to take 10 or more intake meetings a month, and a recruiter or owner who actually takes the calls. And if you are weighing this against hiring a business development rep instead, we wrote an honest comparison of buying meetings versus hiring in-house.

Straight answers for staffing operators

Our fee model is contingent. Does pay per meeting fit how staffing firms get paid?
Yes, and it fits better than a retainer does. You already carry risk until a placement lands, so stacking a fixed monthly business development cost on top of contingent revenue is backwards. Pay per meeting keeps your acquisition cost variable: you pay when a qualified intake meeting lands on a recruiter's calendar, and a slow week costs you nothing. One contingent placement fee runs thousands, so a single new client can cover months of meetings.
How do you find companies that are actually hiring?
From evidence on their own websites. Every prospect list is built in-house and verified against the live business website of each company's site, and for staffing campaigns the crawl looks for hiring signals: careers pages, open job posts, now-hiring language. If the evidence is not there, the company does not make the list. Records are then phone-verified, quality-scored, deduped, and DNC-suppressed before the first text goes out.
What counts as a qualified intake meeting?
Whatever you define at kickoff. We write a one-page qualification doc with you: industries, company size, the roles they hire for, who counts as a decision-maker, and what confirmed hiring intent means. You sign it before launch. A meeting that falls outside it is replaced or credited, free, no argument.
What happens if the employer does not show?
The 10-minute rule applies. If the prospect has not shown within 10 minutes of the start time, the meeting is not counted as held, and we rebook or replace it within 5 business days at no charge. You never pay for a ghost twice. Baseline show rate is 60%, and every meeting runs through a 24-hour, 2-hour, and 15-minute confirmation sequence that pushes it higher.
Which staffing niches does this work best for?
Niches where the hiring decision-maker answers texts: skilled trades, construction, light industrial, logistics, healthcare support, hospitality, and home services. Blue-collar and SMB employers are SMS-native, which is exactly why our machine reaches them. If your desk sells into enterprise HR departments or MSP programs, SMS is the wrong channel and we will tell you that on the call.
How much does a booked meeting cost?
Rates are set per booked meeting and quoted for your niche and qualification depth on a short call, along with a one-time setup quote. There are no retainers, no monthly fees, and no minimums, ever. The pricing page walks through exactly how billing works, including the weekly statement and the optional weekly cap.
How fast can we launch?
Campaigns go live within 48 to 72 hours of kickoff: qualification doc signed, list built and verified, campaign launched. First booked meetings typically land in week one.
