How it works
Get warm intros, not cold leads.
- Search our network.
- Share details about your team, mission and an open role. We search our vetted talent network for the best fits, curating a shortlist of candidates for your review.
- Get warm intros.
- Review a curated list of vetted members and see why they’re a good fit. Tell us who you want to meet, and a Hedgy founder will personally introduce you.
- Hire the best person in less time.
- Get to the interview stage faster for your open roles. With upfront expectations and warm intros, both sides can focus on what matters: finding the right fit.
Recruit better
Exclusive talent. Upfront insights.
- ●Pre-vetted individuals
- Every member has either been personally invited by the Hedgy founders or nominated by another member. Think of this as flipping when the reference check happens: first, not last.
- ●Upfront expectations
- Understand comp expectations from Hedgy members before opting-in to an intro. Both sides save time and avoid an awkward conversation.
- ●Meet great candidates faster
- Avoid having to send cold email or LinkedIn messages. Our members respond directly to intro requests they receive through Hedgy.
- ●Build your employer brand
- If you’re a growing startup, not every top candidate may have heard of you. Our members learn about new companies through their Hedgy dashboard.
Pricing
- ●15% of first-year salary
- Or OTE for commission roles. Pay when someone you meet on Hedgy accepts an offer.
- ●Free until you hire
- Searches, intros, and seats cost nothing upfront. If you never hire, you never owe us anything.
- ●90-day guarantee
- If they decide to leave in their first 90 days, we refund it in full. See the fee agreement for the full conditions.

Hire smarter, not harder
Frequently asked questions
What is an intro?
An intro is a warm introduction between you and a Hedgy member. When you find a candidate you’re interested in, you can request an intro and a Hedgy founder will personally facilitate the connection. This creates a more personal hiring experience than cold outreach or applications.
What type of candidates will I find on Hedgy?
Hedgy runs on member recommendations. Each member has either been member-nominated as a top teammate or personally invited by the founders. Think of it as flipping when the reference check happens: first, not last.
What does Hedgy cost?
Nothing until you hire. When you hire someone you met through Hedgy, we invoice 15% of their first-year salary (or OTE). No seats, no monthly minimum, no commitment. If you’d rather pay a fixed monthly price than a fee per hire, schedule time with us and we’ll put together a custom subscription.
How many intros do I get?
As many as you want, for every role you’re hiring. We don’t meter intros or charge for seats.
Vision
Hedgy is for doers.
Great teammates care deeply about their work and the people around them. They don’t worry about marketing themselves 24/7 because they’re obsessed (in a good way) with what they’re doing. This doesn’t always translate into polished promo packets or face-time with execs, but it’s ultimately what makes great products and successful companies. We built Hedgy to serve people who are genuinely trying to do their life’s work.
