Section 01

AEC recruiting has a quality problem.

Most platforms hand you bullet points and a PDF, then ask why your submissions miss the mark.

Issue 01

Blind job orders

A two-paragraph JD doesn't tell you what the hiring manager actually wants. You guess at fit. Submissions get rejected without explanation.

#
#
#
#
Issue 02

Slow payment cycles

Net 60. Net 90. Sometimes never. Cash sits with the client while your bills don't wait.

#
#
#
#
Issue 03

Ownership chaos

You submit. Another recruiter submits the same person. Six months later the client books them direct, no fee.

#
#
#
#
Section 02

Built different. By design.

Every part of HiringSpec is engineered around one principle: recruiters with the right context make more placements.

01

Recorded intake calls

Every job order is backed by a real conversation with the hiring manager. You hear the tone, the urgency, the unspoken context — before you make a single call.

/ 01
02

Pre-qualified clients only

Every client clears our qualification rubric before a role goes live. No fishing expeditions. No fake job orders. Specifics shared once you're approved.

/ 02
03

Your candidates stay yours

12-month ownership on every submission. Your pre-existing client relationships are explicitly protected. First confirmed submission wins.

/ 03
04

Economics that respect the work

Performance-based, fast-pay, and built so the recruiter keeps the majority share. Full numbers shared during onboarding.

Section 03

The workflow, end to end.

Step 01

Filter by discipline, location, and project type. Listen to the intake. Read the brief. Decide if it's worth your time in 30 seconds.

Step 02

Submit your candidates

Build the profile, attach the resume, add your notes. The client gets a clean submission. You get clear status.

Step 03

Track. Place. Get paid.

Why we're building HiringSpec

AEC recruiting hasn't changed in twenty years. The relationships are still the moat. The good recruiters are still underpaid and overworked. We give recruiters access to clients they couldn't land alone, tools that make them faster, and economics that respect their work.

Section 05

Questions we get a lot.

Performance-based. We earn through a placement fee split only when you make a successful placement — never SaaS fees or subscriptions. Full economics are shared with approved recruiters.
