Hey Scott - We're building a platform that pays sales leaders to interview candidates before they're sent to companies for consideration. 

Today, many sales leaders are asked by their network to take a look at a resume or chat with a candidate before a hiring decision is made. We're aiming to operationalize and scale that motion.

When we match our sales leaders (we call them Leap Advisors) to a client their interview guide has high-level open ended questions to allow our Leap Advisors to take the conversation where they believe it needs to go with the candidate. After A/B testing different approaches we found that by letting our Advisors drive the conversation we acquire more information on candidates and help our clients weed through the top of the funnel.
