The problem

This is how hiring works today. That slow.

Traditional recruiting, measured by the industry itself.

45days

To fill an executive role

Global median time to fill, before onboarding ramp even starts.

Meanwhile, the empty seat costs about US$98 a day. The problem is not finding people: it is finding the right person, fast.

The solution

Not searching more. Knowing where and how.

Behind every search, three brains built from years of codified headhunting methodology.

Market brain

The map before the search

Before searching, it builds the real map of your ecosystem: direct competitors, adjacent companies and the pool where the talent lives. Every candidate is judged against your market, not in the abstract.

Mapa del ecosistema: tu empresa al centro, con anillos de competencia directa, mismo mercado y pool de talento your company, centered direct competitors same market talent pool
Roles brain

Where each seat is hunted

It knows what the market calls each role and where it is hunted: some roles live in your sector, others in companies your size, others in your channel.

Evaluation brain

One standard, everything verified

It turns your criteria into a weighted rubric and scores everyone by the same standard. What it claims, it verifies; what it cannot verify, it tells you.

The journey, step by step.

Profile and rubric

Criteria weighted with you.

Map of your market

Your real ecosystem: competitors, adjacents, pool.

Multi-source search

Sitting title-holders, active candidates and our own base.

Two-stage evaluation

One standard for everyone.

Verification

Identity, employment, languages.

Shortlist

With evidence and screening questions ready.

And it learns: your feedback on the shortlist is codified as criteria. The next search starts better than the last, and if the market runs thin, the search widens by itself.

Just tell Hound.

No forms. You talk to it in your own words; it understands through the three brains and brings results back in minutes, not meetings.

Frequent questions

What exactly does Hound deliver?

A shortlist with evidence: each candidate arrives with verified employment, a score against a weighted rubric we define with you and a list of points to validate in the interview. We do not deliver lists of names.

Where does Hound operate?

Wherever the role is. Our bases are Bogotá and Madrid, and the market map is built from scratch for each country: we have closed searches in markets with no prior presence, the same day they were requested.

How long does a search take?

The market map and the first evaluated candidates arrive within hours. The first evidence-backed shortlists arrive in days, not weeks, and each iteration on your feedback resolves the same day.

How much does a search cost?

One plan: US$150 a month with 30 credits included, covering 3 full searches (10 credits each), with the market map, the evidence-backed shortlist and adjustments included. More searches? Each additional one draws 10 credits from your balance, which never expires. See pricing.

How does Hound handle candidate data?

Under consent and in line with Colombian data-protection Law 1581: non-consented profiles are automatically deleted after 60 days and anyone can request erasure. See the privacy policy.
