The problem space.

  • 01 · Ghosted

    You're ghosting candidates

    53% — 53% of job seekers were ghosted last year. 28% never hear back after applying. It's a three-year high — and every ghosted candidate tells their network.

  • 02 · Days to hire

    Your process is too slow

    41 — Median time-to-hire is 41 days. Every extra week increases the chance a candidate accepts elsewhere or disengages. Speed is the new differentiator.

  • 03 · Captured

    Decisions vanish

    0% — Feedback happens in Slack, email, phone calls, sticky notes. No audit trail. No accountability. No feedback to candidates. The same mistakes repeat.

  • 04 · Yours to keep

    Your pipeline isn't yours

    0 — Candidates apply through LinkedIn. The data lives on LinkedIn. When you leave, it stays. Your institutional memory walks out the door with you.

    Questions? Answers.

    How do zero-login recruiter portals work?

    Agencies create a role, add candidates, and share a link. Hiring managers review candidate profiles, chat in real-time, and make decisions — no account, no onboarding, no training. Every decision is captured with reasoning, building an institutional memory that compounds over time.

    What is decision reasoning capture?

    Every hire, reject, or shortlist decision is logged with the hiring manager's reasoning. This creates an audit trail that feeds back into future searches, prevents repeated mistakes, and gives candidates real feedback instead of silence.

    Is Recruiter1 free for agencies?

    Recruiter1 offers a free tier with zero-login portals, candidate chat, and decision capture. Enterprise plans add SSO, custom branding, and advanced analytics.

    How does Recruiter1 protect candidate data?

    Recruiter1 uses end-to-end encryption for all candidate communications — the server stores ciphertext, not plaintext. Zero-login portals use signed capability tokens instead of accounts. Learn more at /r1/security.
