For recruiters & placement agencies

The client sees the search. Never the pipeline.

Recruiting is the sharpest version of a two-sided problem: the client must see progress on the role, and must never see your candidate book, your sources, or your economics. Coordinator's network was practically built on this asymmetry — here's the whole workflow, end to end.

Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.

The update treadmill

Weekly 'where are we' calls and formatted candidate summaries — hours of reporting about the work instead of doing it.

The spreadsheet CRM

Candidates in a sheet, notes in email, interviews in a calendar, the fee agreement in a folder. One search, four systems.

The invoice chase

The placement happened; the sign-off is verbal; the invoice is 'being processed' by someone at the client for six weeks.

The role

One search, shared with the client from day one

'Fill the Senior Engineer role' is a project shared over the network: the client watches its stages — sourcing, screening, shortlist, offer — move in real time from their own workspace. Your reporting burden drops to zero because the mirror is the report.

  • The client's network policy controls how searches get added — free, approve-each, or never
  • Stages sync by position, so you can add private internal phases after the shared ones
  • One shared thread carries the conversation; your internal threads stay internal

The pipeline

Candidates are private children of the search

Each candidate runs as their own staged pipeline under the role — screen, interview, reference, offer — completely invisible to the client. The matrix view shows every candidate's stage, days-in-stage and overdue flags across the whole book, sorted furthest-along first.

  • Batch-create 'Screen — {name}' across every candidate in a talent-pool category in one action
  • CVs, notes and references are typed records linked to the person, the search and the exact conversation
  • Your fees, splits, hours and sources are structurally incapable of crossing the boundary

The reveal

Share candidates one at a time, deliberately

When someone's ready to present, share that one child — 'Candidate: J. Rivera' appears on the client's side under the right stage, with exactly the fields you chose. The rest of the pipeline stays yours.

  • Per-field sharing controls; identity display is your call
  • The client's feedback lands in the shared thread, attached to that candidate
  • The handoff: mark 'waiting on client feedback' and it shows as 'In your court' on their side

Interviews

Panel scheduling without the email chain

A booking link with the hiring panel as joint hosts only offers times when every host is free — the candidate picks, the video link is created on your own account, and reminders handle themselves.

  • Collective availability across your side and theirs
  • Reschedules release and re-book atomically — the original stands if anything fails
  • Interview notes file as records on the candidate

The placement

Sign-off closes the search and unlocks the fee

The client's approval — one click on their side — closes the role. With billing approval on, your invoice can't even be drafted until they've signed off; when it goes out, it lands directly in their books as a bill.

  • The approval is recorded and timestamped — no 'who agreed to this' archaeology
  • Your invoice becomes their bill; payment reconciles on both sides
  • Detach ends a collaboration cleanly — both sides keep their own copy of everything

Fair questions

Asked by businesses like yours

What if the client isn't on Coordinator?

You still run the whole search internally, and the client gets hosted documents and tokened approval links. But this is the vertical where inviting them pays fastest — the live mirror replaces your entire reporting workload, and joining is free for them.

Can a client ever see my other searches or candidates?

No. They see exactly the activities you shared, with exactly the fields you chose. Children never auto-share; your workspace, contacts and economics are in a different tenant they cannot reach.

How do split placements work?

Connect with the other agency too — the network is many-to-many. Share the relevant piece of the search with each party, and invoice each on their own terms; every firm keeps sovereign books.

100% free — every feature, every seat

Share your first role

Run the search the way you already do — and let the client watch it move instead of asking.

Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.
