Access is not the same as recruiting capacity

  • Retained recruiters.
  • LinkedIn Recruiter seats.
  • Keyword-matched resumes.
  • Templated InMails.

LinkedIn Recruiter is the default candidate database. It is useful when you have someone dedicated to searching, screening, messaging, and following up every day.

For founders, the problem is that everyone else is searching the same database with the same filters. Great candidates are overwhelmed by generic InMails, and many of the strongest builders do not present themselves cleanly in LinkedIn keywords.

Superposition uses LinkedIn as one possible signal, but does not stop there. The agent reads public work, maps role-specific evidence, and writes outreach that explains why the opportunity is relevant.

What changes with an AI recruiting agent

01

Beyond keyword filters

Superposition can evaluate open source work, writing, projects, and career context that a title search misses.

02

Outreach candidates actually recognize

Messages reference the candidate's real work and your specific role rather than another generic recruiter pitch.

03

Less founder context switching

The agent handles research and follow-up so founders can spend time on interviews, not search operations.

04

A full workflow, not a seat

Superposition packages sourcing, research, outreach, and pipeline movement into one operating loop.

Traditional recruiters charge 20–30% of first-year salary and run a generic search across multiple clients at once. Our agent goes deep on just your company — researching thousands of candidates and bringing back people who are specifically a fit, not just generically good.

$500 per agent per month, plus a 15% success fee on first-year base salary only — not equity, not bonus.

Interested candidates are typically flagged within days of kickoff. Time-to-hire averages six weeks, depending on role seniority and your interview cadence.

We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee for any reason within the first 90 days.

There's an initial voice intake, usually 30 minutes, where the agent learns your company, values, and the specific shape of who you're hiring.

Do not just buy access. Buy recruiting leverage.

Let Superposition find, research, and engage the candidates your filters miss.
