We run outbound for specialist recruitment firms. You pay 10% on fees from every client we help you close. No retainer. No monthly fee. 12-month partnership.
Sound familiar?
Recruitment firms have tried the alternatives. Here is why they do not work.
Clay. Apollo. Instantly. Lemlist. Lusha. You've been handed a stack of tools and a setup guide and told to figure it out. Hours spent on infrastructure that still doesn't deliver.
Retainer paid. Onboarding done. Generic sequences sent to anyone with a job posting. Three months later, meetings with companies that were never a fit and an invoice that keeps arriving.
Hiring an in-house BD person means salary, payroll taxes, benefits, onboarding, and three to six months before they're producing. Most recruitment firms cannot afford that runway.
Thincture handles the entire outbound function for you. We detect hiring intent signals, score and rank your target accounts automatically, build personalised sequences triggered by real activity, and manage replies. You only get charged when a placement closes. No tools to manage. No retainer. No ramp period.
Live signal monitoring
We run automated monitoring across your target market around the clock. Outbound is triggered when a company crosses a hiring intent threshold, not on a spray-and-pray schedule.
Process
Four steps. You handle placements. We handle everything before the first meeting.
We pull job postings, headcount movement, leadership changes, funding events, and company growth signals from multiple data sources and run them through an intent scoring model. The output is a ranked shortlist of accounts showing real hiring activity, not guesswork.
Each signal triggers a personalised outbound sequence built around that specific hiring activity. Messages are written to reference the exact trigger, not generic cold copy, and are sent at scale from your branded domain with automated follow-up built in.
We pass you warm conversations with hiring managers and decision makers who have an active need. You take it from there and place candidates.
When your consultant closes the placement, we take 10% of the fee. Nothing before. No monthly cost while campaigns are running. You charge on results, so do we.
Who we work with
We work with recruitment firms placing senior candidates at high fees. The call is where we confirm the fit.
Your average placement fee needs to make the commission model work for both sides. Below $10k and the economics don't stack up.
You have closed placements before and know how to convert a warm introduction into a signed client. We open doors. You need to be able to walk through them.
You have clients who come back. Sticky employer relationships mean placements convert. One-off contingency work does not.
You have at least two consultants who can respond to warm introductions quickly. Meetings are only valuable if someone picks them up.

FAQ
We run outbound on your behalf at no monthly cost. We identify companies showing active hiring signals, send targeted outreach from your branded domain, and book qualified meetings. When your consultant closes a placement from a lead we sourced, we take 10% of the fee. Nothing before that.
No. There is a minimal one-time setup fee to build your dedicated infrastructure. It is fully deductible from your first commission payout, so you recover it the moment the first placement closes. We cover the exact amount on the discovery call.
Outbound to placement typically runs 60 to 120 days. We set this expectation before signing. The 12-month partnership exists because value compounds: meetings in months one to three, placements converting from month three, growing pipeline from month six onward.
Every conversation we generate is tracked from the first outbound touch. All meetings are recorded. Our contract has clear attribution language covering introductions made during the partnership plus a post-termination window. No ambiguity on sourcing.
We pull from job boards, headcount movement data, leadership hire announcements, company expansion signals, and funding events. Those inputs are run through an intent scoring model that ranks accounts by how actively they are hiring right now. Outreach only fires when an account crosses a meaningful threshold, not on a fixed spray schedule.
No. We add a signal-triggered outbound channel on top of your existing BD. Your person handles warm relationships. We handle cold-to-warm conversion with companies showing active hiring intent. Different motions, same goal.
A retainer agency charges monthly regardless of results. Commission-only means you pay nothing until a placement closes from a lead we sourced. Our incentive is fully aligned with yours. If we do not produce, we do not earn.
No monthly retainer. There is a one-time setup fee to build your outbound infrastructure, fully deductible from your first commission payment. After that, we take 10% on every placement closed from a client we introduced. Exact setup fee is covered on the discovery call.
Yes. Thincture is a registered business operating under a formal 12-month partnership agreement with clear attribution terms. Discovery calls are conducted by our team before any engagement starts, and everything is set out in a signed contract.
Specialist recruitment firms placing senior candidates at fees of $10,000 or more. You need at least two consultants to follow up on meetings, active mandates in your niche, and a track record of closing roles. We are not a fit for generalist agencies, very low fee values, or firms without capacity to handle new business conversations.
We work with specialist recruitment firms across the UK, US, EU, Australia, and MENA. Our outbound infrastructure is built to comply with each market's requirements. Fit is assessed on the discovery call regardless of where you are based.
We are designed to run alongside your team, not replace them. We handle prospecting, signal monitoring, and initial outreach. Your consultants handle discovery calls and closing. If you have no in-house BD at all, we fill that gap entirely on the new business side.
