A sample shows the method. A subscription supports the research.
Searchlight is paid hiring intelligence for recruiters who research prospective client companies repeatedly. Review the feed for your plan, inspect the hiring evidence and organize the next action for each account.
| Your recruiting work | Free sample & templates | Paid Searchlight |
|---|---|---|
| Find companies to research | Explore three example companies and public desk samples. | Access the opportunity feed included with your solo or firm plan. |
| Focus on your recruiting desk | Try the research format and use blank qualification checklists. | Filter plan opportunities by recruiting specialty, company context and hiring evidence. |
| Plan the next conversation | Prepare a manual account brief using the free templates. | Record next actions, owners, dates and notes in the customer workspace; export a backup. |
| Work as a recruiting firm | Public examples; no licensed team workspace. | Firm plan: licensed users, invitations, organization billing and downloadable research briefs. |
Next-action plans are stored in your browser and can be exported; they do not sync between teammates or devices. Public hiring activity is evidence to investigate, not confirmed agency demand.
Choose a paid plan when: you need a recurring source of relevant accounts to research and will verify the evidence before reaching out. Use the free sample first to check that the format fits your desk.

Before you start
A clearer picture of what you’re buying.
Can I see examples before creating an account?
Yes. The free sample lets you choose a recruiting specialty and inspect three example companies without signing up. It labels whether examples come from the published feed or are illustrative.
Does a hiring signal mean a company needs an agency?
No. Public hiring activity helps you decide what to research. It does not establish agency demand, a recruiting budget, or a guaranteed client. Verify the posting and your fit before contacting a company.
Which plan should I choose?
Choose Solo for one recruiter. Choose Recruiting Firm for a shared workspace with multiple users. The seat selector above shows the team tier before you create your account.
How do billing and cancellation work?
Review your selected plan and total in checkout before paying. Existing customers can manage billing and cancellation from their account. Read the subscription policy for details.
