Hire with fewer, better interviews.
Wayfinder is a services-first recruiting partner. We take the work of alignment, qualification, and outreach off your plate, then introduce a focused shortlist of high-fit candidates so you can reach confident decisions with fewer interviews.
What we do
Most teams don’t need more candidates. They need less noise. We reduce application review and low-signal screening by doing alignment up front and only introducing candidates once intent, constraints, and role fit are already clear.
Fewer, better interviews
Your loop is for decision-making, not elimination. We do the alignment work before you meet candidates.
Higher interview-to-offer conversion
Less resume triage and fewer low-signal screens. Candidates reach you only once intent, constraints, and role fit are aligned.
Fewer false starts
Less time spent tuning the funnel. Requirements, intent, scope and must-haves are enforced up front.
How it works
Upstream alignment → fewer, higher-signal interviews.
The goal is simple: protect interviews as a scarce, expensive resource. We move clarity, qualification, and alignment earlier so hiring teams spend their time deciding — not filtering.

1.
Role intake & normalization
We start by defining what success actually looks like. Scope, seniority, must-haves, constraints, and tradeoffs are made explicit and normalized into a structured role profile — not just a rewritten job description.
-
2.
Candidate profiling & intent
Candidates opt in with a resume and a short set of structured questions covering role preferences, seniority, compensation, location, and constraints. This establishes intent early and reduces late-stage drop-off.

3.
Upstream evaluation
Before any interview is scheduled, candidates are evaluated against the role profile using software-assisted matching and recruiter judgment. Role-specific technical or functional screens are used only when they materially reduce hiring risk.

4.
High-fit introductions
Hiring teams see a small number of high-confidence candidates, each with clear context on fit and tradeoffs. Interviews are used for decision-making, not elimination. We run the process end-to-end through close and follow-through.
Pricing
Wayfinder charges standard placement fees, aligned to successful hires. We keep pricing simple early on — you only pay when you hire.
Of first-year salary. Exact fee depends on seniority and search structure.
Fees are due only when a candidate accepts and you make the hire.
If you prefer to align first, book a 15‑min call — we’ll confirm fit and whether we can take the role.
Start with a role
Share a job link and a few constraints. We’ll respond quickly with whether we can confidently take it on.
