Via is an invite-only talent network that connects you with off-market talent that has been vouched for by someone who knows them well. Get reference checks first, not last.
Top talent often leans on their network to find and get referred to their next opportunity, rather than cold applications. With Via, you're on their radar.
For founders, every minute recruiting is a minute not spent building. Reduce time-to-hire by only talking to candidates who are “on deck” for early-stage startup opportunities, rather than cold-emailing and scouring LinkedIn.
With most recruiting (both in-house and outsourced), you risk paying for their time without seeing an outcome. With Via, you only pay a placement fee if and only if you hire from the network. If you part ways within 3 months, we refund half of the fee back.
*Cosign (verb) /kō-sīn/
To give your stamp of approval for someone you would highly recommend.
Know who’s “on deck”
The first place great talent goes when confidentially looking for early-stage roles? Their startup friends connected to networks like On Deck.
Reduce false positives: know what's not on paper
Spend less time interviewing mediocre candidates by getting a reference check ahead of every conversation. A cosign from a former manager or colleague can validate their work ethic and hustle required to succeed at early-stage.
