We solve the targeting and timing problem on a fee desk, so producers place more without dropping the search quality they sell on.
Redline Growth increases productivity of existing teams in three ways.
Open each for the concept and the artifact the desk acts on.
The demand funnel runs from every company the desk could win a search from down to the mandates worth winning, scored on fee and winnability. The supply funnel runs from the whole talent market for a search down to the short, ranked list worth reaching. Both meet at the placement, paid on the fee.
A producer's day splits between working live candidates and sourcing the next ones, and the sourcing is what eats the week and stalls the sendouts. Redline runs the sourcing and scoring so the desk opens to a mapped, scored shortlist and the reclaimed time goes to candidates and clients.
Producers conduct cold searches and reach out to candidates with nothing but a job title. Instead, the demand desk arrives with a read on the search and the supply desk reaches mapped, scored talent. The two dossiers are the artifacts the desk acts on. For a container search, the mandate dossier carries the deposit option.
Why fee-based recruiting firms bring us in.
We bring GTM expertise with operating experience to deliver intelligence that fits
the relationship-based, producer-led desk environment.
Place more, from the same producers, without dropping search quality.
We raise the odds the desk hits its number by widening the pool each producer can surface and tightening the sendout ratio, so more placements come from the team you have.
The model below turns your desk's real numbers into a revenue figure, what you place today against what the same team places with Redline running the sourcing. First, tell it how you count. Pool-led starts from the candidate pool a producer keeps live and works forward to placements. Placements-led starts from the placements you make now and works back to the pool that feeds them. Use whichever you know off the top of your head. Then set the fee model, contingency for paid-on-hire, container to add the upfront deposit, and read the bottom line: the revenue added for every dollar of Redline cost, over a year at full pace. Every input is yours to change.
The intelligence layer between your data and both desks.
Redline Growth captures the signals on both sides, builds the dossiers, and delivers them into the tools the desk already uses. The supply desk is pool-and-placement, and the output is fee revenue. The supply desk is pool-and-placement, and the output is fee revenue.
The work flows to the producers you already have. Redline Growth is the intelligence layer supporting them, not an outsourced proxy.
Signals come from two places. First-party data is your own, your ATS and CRM, past placements, and client history. Third-party data is the market, funding, departures, postings, and profile moves across the web. Read together, the demand side reads as search triggers and the supply side as candidate availability, scored per desk rather than bought generic.
The engine runs as a loop across the hiring and sourcing cycle, both desks in parallel. Every placement deepens the account and grows the talent map, so presence and the network compound.
Projects, Pilots, Managed Services.
Three ways in, on a crawl, walk, run progression. The managed service is the core engagement: a short pilot to set up and tune the two-desk engine, then delivery on a regular cadence. Fees attach at the value model, scoped to where you start and which desks you run.
The service keeps the Detect, Translate, and Activate engine active and refreshed on a recurring cadence across both desks, so the desk keeps a steady flow of the right searches and the right candidates without spending desk hours on research.
| Annual fee revenue | Producers | Subscription | Performance fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to $1.5M | 1 to 2 | $4,000 to $6,000 / mo | 15 to 20% |
| $1.5M to $4M | 3 to 5 | $9,000 to $16,000 / mo | 10 to 15% |

| $7M to $12M | 10 to 15 | $32,000 to $52,000 / mo | None |
| $12M and up | 16+ / multi-office | Custom | None |
Subscription pricing is set by desk coverage and sized on producer count and annual fee revenue for the office or territory. Run the demand desk on its own, or add the supply desk. All subscriptions are billed quarterly in advance.
Notes and methodology.
In-market timing
A search opens on a trigger, a departure, a funding round, a team being built, so the demand desk is a timing and coverage instrument tuned to those events, not a constant-volume motion.
The maturity ladder
Most staffing offices sit at Stage 2, operationalized: Bullhorn hot lists, tiered folders, hand-built account lists. Stage 3 is integrated, account and order-level intent. Stage 4 is compounding, candidate-level signal. The benchmark lift is measured from Stage 2 to signal-qualified, which is where the headroom is.
Two desks, one engine
The same engine improves the win rate on searches and the close rate on placements. First-party data from your ATS and third-party data from the market feed both desks, not separate buckets.
On the numbers
Every figure shown in the value model and any example is illustrative, modeled to show structure. Live dossiers and lists are scoped to your accounts and orders and refreshed as signals move.
