Searchlight
Private beta

Find companies likely to need recruiting help before your competitors do.

Searchlight gives boutique recruiters and search firms a daily shortlist of qualified accounts to pursue — with why now, likely hiring pain, and a suggested outreach angle.

Simple by design Who to contact, why now, and what angle to use
What you get each day
  • Who to contact — a shortlist of accounts worth pursuing
  • Why now — the hiring context behind the opportunity
  • What to say — a suggested outreach angle for each account
Problem

Most recruiters don’t need more leads. They need better timing.

By the time a company looks obviously worth contacting, another recruiter is already in the conversation. Most tools give you raw job data, databases, or generic intent signals. Searchlight is built to answer a narrower, more useful question: which companies are actually worth contacting now — and why?

How it works

Three things, every day

1. Who to contact

Searchlight surfaces a shortlist of companies worth recruiter outreach now.

2. Why now

Each account comes with a clear explanation of the hiring context behind it.

3. What to say

Each account includes a suggested angle so you can move into outreach fast.
