Job Compass

Job Compass is a recruiting service for startups that pairs AI sourcing with human vetting. The platform searches talent pools beyond the founder's own network, a human reviewer screens the results and selects a small number of candidates, and the service handles the outreach personally rather than with automated messages. The founder receives a shortlist of one to three candidates with context on why each fits, and spends their time interviewing rather than sourcing. It is designed for founders and high growth companies hiring engineers, product managers, data analysts, designers and salespeople without an internal recruiter. The vendor promises first matches within 48 hours, refines the role brief as feedback arrives, and includes a replacement guarantee window on every engagement. Pricing is published in two models. On subscription, Launch is $2,000 per month for one active role with a minimum two month commitment; Growth is $3,500 per month for two simultaneous roles and adds expanded talent mapping, priority sourcing, a dedicated strategist and pipeline reporting; Scale is custom for three or more roles and includes executive search and an embedded partnership. The success based option, Pay Per Hire, charges a flat 12 percent of first year base salary with no commitment, and carries a 60 to 90 day replacement guarantee, AI matching and a dedicated advisor.
