What you buy

A vetted shortlist on a standard contingent-fee basis.

The promise

A vetted shortlist of QA / SDET / quality-leadership candidates from Loop's network, billed per placement.

Who it's for

Hiring managers who already have a strong internal interview loop and just want better candidates flowing in.

Buyer state. “I just need qualified QA / engineering candidates.”

What's inside

What we focus on.

01

Network-led search

Loop's network skews senior, AI-fluent, and quality-minded. We don't blast roles across LinkedIn. We ask the people who'd recognize the right fit.

02

Loop pre-vet

Every candidate we forward has been spoken to. You don't waste time on first-call screens that confirm a résumé.

Deliverables

You'll walk away with all of this.

  • Pre-vetted candidate shortlist
  • Loop intro notes per candidate
  • Standard contingent placement fee

The boss-approval frame

How to get this approved.

“Standard contingent recruiting, but the candidates are noticeably stronger because they come from the network the Loop team built running this model.”

ROI logic. Same fee structure as any contingent recruiter, with a higher signal-to-noise on the inbound pipeline.

The offer ladder

Four tiers. One question each.

Pick by what you're trying to answer this quarter. Not by what tier looks "best." The depth of change escalates with the question. The entry course is publicly priced; higher tiers are scoped per engagement.
