Made with 💚 for Product Managers

In-house talent teams

Message opted-in PMs who already showed the work.

Recruiter Desk for people hiring into their own company. Proof cards, names, pipeline, and replies live on the desk. The same named seat also opens in Claude, Cursor, and Grok via Connect — another door, not a replacement. $99/mo or $999/year. Import your own book — they stay yours.

Product mock — composite profiles, not live members

Candidate prep

They already ran the job against their work

Members can score a resume against a live JD, get ATS and role-fit notes, and use the AI coach on the posting before you message them.

  • Resume vs this JD

    From a PLA job they open the analyzer with that posting loaded.

    Resume optimizer
  • Apply confidence

    On the job, the coach reads the posting and a resume they pick.

How the desk works

  1. Reviewing product work on a laptop

    01

    Browse opted-in PMs

    Filter people who asked to be visible to recruiters. Read the proof card, not a keyword dump. Same seat also searches from Claude via Connect — the desk stays home.

  2. Recruiter at a desk messaging candidates

    02

    Message on PLA

    Contact stays in the desk unless they set visibility to public. Applications come back here.

  3. Hiring conversation over a resume

    03

    Shortlist and list roles

    Move stages, post a role to the community board, keep the paper trail.

Named seats

A first-year signup offer is shown once after you sign in on your own profile. Recruiter-only members keep LinkedIn off their public card — contact them in the desk. Seat terms are in the Recruiter Desk Terms.
