Run a bigger desk without a bigger LinkedIn bill.

Built for boutique and mid-market search firms, 5 to 50 recruiters running contingent searches, not retained executive search. Replace LinkedIn Recruiter, your ATS, and your CRM with one flat licence per recruiter.

What running a desk on rented tools costs you

Your LinkedIn and ATS bills go up every year, whether or not you close more placements.

LinkedIn Recruiter (RPS) and a separate ATS like Bullhorn or Loxo are two fixed costs that rise 8–12% at renewal, no matter how many searches you actually ran this year.

A 5-recruiter desk pays roughly €27,500 for LinkedIn RPS and €9,000 for a standalone ATS, before a single placement closes.

Your client can't see the search they're paying for, unless you buy them a seat too.

Most sourcing and ATS tools charge per seat, so the people who actually need visibility, a partner, a researcher, the client themselves, end up working outside the system entirely.

Half the network is locked behind a seat you don't have.

RPS gives you third-degree contacts only, caps out-of-network reach at 50 a week, and keeps out-of-network profiles blurred until you spend a credit, so you find out whether they matched after you've already paid.

How one team runs many client searches without stepping on each other

  1. Add every recruiter to the desk.

    One shared platform for the whole team, not one licence per client.

  2. Give each client their own search.

    Filters, keywords, and location logic are scoped to that search alone. Nothing about how you sourced for Client A shows up when you search for Client B.

  3. Calibrate AI Search and Source per client.

    The agent learns what a good candidate looks like for this role, this client, not a blended average across every search your desk has ever run.

  4. Launch a campaign in that client's voice.

    Tone, language, and channel order are set per campaign, so a search for a Madrid client and one for a Berlin client never sound the same.
