Recruitment BD, on autopilot.

Job board alerts tell you a role exists. Talent First tells you which companies are worth calling and why. We watch job boards, careers pages, funding news and headcount moves across your market, then score each company against your desk: how hard they are finding it to hire, and how well they fit the brief we build with you. You get the hiring manager's name and direct contact details, not a link to an ad. And it learns from your feedback, so the scoring sharpens around your desk every week.

We configure Talent First to your niche during the 7-day trial. First leads typically arrive within 24 hours of setup completing.

No, and that is the point. Each month we watch over 380,000 job sources and tens of millions of live roles, then hand-pick the best matches for your exact ICP and the setup we build with you. Every one is graded by our proprietary AI scoring and intent system, so you only ever see the roles worth chasing. The plan number is how many we curate and score for you, not how many we send. How many become qualified leads depends on your niche and how active hiring is that month. You are paying us to read the whole market so your team only reads the best of it.

Right now, daily leads land in your inbox as a structured email, and you manage them in your Talent First portal: review and assign leads, and run your whole team's desks in one place. Native integrations with Bullhorn, Vincere, and JobAdder are on the 2026 roadmap, and trial customers help shape the priority order. In the meantime, leads drop straight into your existing workflow with minimal handling.

Yes, and it is included on every plan. Your Talent First portal shows each day's leads with their scores, lets you work your hot and warm pipeline, add or adjust consultant desks, and track your usage against your plan. Owners can invite their team and control who sees what.

Every lead is scored with our Hiring Stress Score and categorised hot, warm, or market intel. You only chase the ones worth your time.

No, never. Talent First finds the opportunities and gives you the right person to call. All outreach is yours, under your name, on your terms.

Rate any lead with a thumbs up or down. Companies you flag as clients or competitors never appear again, and the scoring learns what a good lead looks like for your desk. We also tune your configuration with you during the trial. Week one is the worst the leads will ever be.

That's exactly where Talent First works best. Iceberg is a specialist e-discovery agency, the kind of niche generic tools can't read. We configure to your sector and ICP during setup. If it isn't surfacing useful results for you, cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.

If it's working, you do nothing. Your trial rolls into the plan you chose at signup and we bill the card on file. We email you before that first charge. If it's not for you, cancel any time during the trial and you're never charged.

A BD hire takes 3-6 months to ramp and often leaves inside 18. That's a five-figure cost cycle plus the missed pipeline. Talent First runs from day one, scales to your whole team, and doesn't churn. Many customers run both, with the BD person working the leads Talent First surfaces.

Yes. Cancel any time from your account or by emailing us. Cancel during the trial and you're never charged. On a paid plan you keep access to the end of the month you've paid for. Monthly rolling, no lock-in.

Vente is feature-led (hiring stress, CRM push) and broad. SourceWhale is a full sourcing-and-engagement platform. Talent First is BD-only and configured per niche. We've delivered 5-7 qualified leads a week to Iceberg in their e-discovery vertical.
