When is Direct Match a Good Fit?
- You want a done-for-you hiring process, you don’t have the time, or desire, to source, screen, and evaluate candidates yourself.
- You haven’t started your own search yet - no open call, no
invitations sent, no other agency engaged.
- You want to meet only vetted, aligned candidates, not sift
through a pile of applicants.
- You’re ready to invest in a guided, structured process rather than a DIY hire
What Happens After Purchase?
Once you complete your purchase, our team gets to work right away:
- Structured Hiring Intake; You complete a short intake so we
understand your business, workflows, and exactly what you
need from an OBM.
- Role Definition; IAOBM defines or refines the final role
parameters based on your intake.
- Sourcing & Vetting; Our team sources and screens
candidates from our vetted Certified OBM community.
- Curated Shortlist; You receive a shortlist of qualified, aligned
Certified OBMs, ready for you to meet.
You stay focused on running your business. We manage the
hiring process
Important eligibility note
Direct Match is not available if:
+ You currently have an active, open call for OBMs (public or private)
+ You have already invited OBMs to apply, and the process is underway
+ You’ve engaged another company to manage the OBM search
If you’ve already distributed invitations to submit proposals, we would love to have you send your project information to our consultants through our free Opportunity Form!
