SignalsAPI is a small software company. Our software watches who is hiring, all day, every day. We want two or three recruitment agencies to build the next version with us. You describe the tool you'd actually use. Mykola builds it. You pay nothing until it's winning you business. After that, half of what other agencies will pay, for as long as you use it. It was built around you, and you'd be the first to have it.
Example. The company is made up. The pattern isn't.
You know who you'd love to work with. You don't know when they're about to hire. So you find out the slow way: the phone, LinkedIn, a tip from a candidate.
Half the companies you reach don't use agencies. The rest already have agencies they use. No tool we've seen can tell you which is which. Ours can't either, yet.
It works, if you can carry a salary for the months it takes them to get going.
Built for sales teams, not agencies. Nobody who made it has ever placed anyone.
It works. It just eats the hours you'd rather spend placing people.
If one of these is working for you, you don't need us.
Startups call this a design partner: the agency we build it with. In practice it looks like this.
You tell Mykola how you win clients today. And what you'd want to know before you pick up the phone. We agree what "working" means. For example: three real conversations a month that it found for you.
Mykola builds it himself. You get it however you want it: an email each morning, a spreadsheet, straight into your CRM.
You use it and tell us what's wrong. About an hour of your time a week, for up to three months.
skip the ones with an in-house recruiterUntil then, nothing. Then half of what other agencies will pay, for as long as you use it. It was built around how you work, so you get it at half price.
Stop any time with one email. No notice period. Nothing to give back.
There is one. We need to learn what agencies actually need, and guessing is slow. Building with you teaches us faster than anything else.
When it works, you pay half of what other agencies will, for as long as you use it. Then we sell the same tool to them at full price. You had it first, shaped around how you work, before anyone else could buy it. That's the trade.
SignalsAPI started as a tool built for one recruiter, Matthew. He told us what he needed. We built it. He started paying the day it delivered and stayed a customer for a year. Ask about him on the call.
The software has grown up since. It watches more than 450 job boards and career sites. Last month it saw over two million new roles across the UK, the US, Europe and beyond. Your tool would run on that.

"Why do I need hiring signals if I don't know whether the company will even work with agencies?"
Fair. We can't answer that today. It's the first thing we'd want to build with you.
Builds it. Twenty-five years of building software, several of those systems for recruiters. Based in Norway. You deal with him directly, not a team behind him.
