Pain Points (Public)

Sales leaders scaling outbound teams waste substantial time sifting through hundreds of low-intent resumes from traditional job boards, while agency recruiter fees are cost-prohibitive for high-turnover entry-level SDR roles where verbal fluency and outbound motivation matter more than credentials.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Deploy a distributed scout model where freelance talent sourcers leverage niche communities and personal networks to identify candidates, run a standardized five-minute voice screen to evaluate phone presence and baseline motivation, and deliver interview-ready applicants under a pay-per-introduction structure.
