Freelance Recruiter · 1 seat · $249/month USD.
Why this workflow
A long list of companies creates more work if you cannot explain why each company belongs there. Start with specialty fit and source evidence, then decide which accounts deserve your attention.
Inspect the evidence
Review the role, location and source link. Check that the listing remains available before relying on it in an introduction. Missing or old evidence needs another check.
Choose the next action
Organize a research shortlist and record a next step. Browser-saved notes and next-action plans can be exported; they do not sync between devices.
Try the review. Choose the workspace.
The free checklist creates a brief from information you enter. The public demo shows the research format. A paid account gives access to its subscribed research workspace.
Before you decide
What does the price include?
Freelance Recruiter is $249/month for one seat. Recruiting Firm is $799/month for 2–5 seats, $1,499 for 6–15 and $2,999 for 16–50. Contact us for 51 or more. These are monthly tier prices, not per-seat multiplication.
Does a hiring signal mean the employer wants an agency?
No. Check the original evidence and research the fit. Searchlight does not guarantee agency demand, responses, placements or revenue.
Will notes sync across my team?
Next-action plans and research notes are stored in the browser where you create them and can be exported. Do not assume those notes sync across devices or teammates.
