Set up your company and your roles.
Your company profile, your benefits, your open roles. Posted on Passive in the same format candidates use to research everyone else. If they're considering you, this is where they'll start.
Passive is where employed professionals quietly check the market. Subscribe, and your roles get in front of the candidates agency recruiters are charging you 25% of first-year salary to find.
Agency fees scale linearly with hires. We scale at zero marginal cost per role.
Everything you currently pay agencies to do — done at a flat rate, at any volume, by candidates who chose to apply.
Agencies charge 25% of first-year salary on every hire. Passive is $1,000/month, flat — no matter how many roles you fill.
Three steps. Same engine that makes Passive work for candidates makes it work for you.
Your company profile, your benefits, your open roles. Posted on Passive in the same format candidates use to research everyone else. If they're considering you, this is where they'll start.
Describe your ideal hire — seniority, skills, the soft criteria that don't fit in a job description. We surface your roles to the candidates who match. Not blasted to everyone. Just shown to the right ones.
When a candidate applies, you get a resume in your inbox or your ATS — same as if they'd come through your careers page. No new dashboard to learn. No platform to babysit. Just better candidates, more often.
$1,000/month, flat. As many roles as you want. We integrate with whatever ATS you're using.
See if you qualifyTakes 5 minutes. We review every employer application before approval.
No per-seat fees. No per-hire fees. No "talk to sales for pricing."
Flat rate. Hire as many roles as you need.
No setup fees on standard ATS integrations. Custom integrations are quoted separately.
Compare that to a single mid-level engineer hire through an agency, which runs $30,000–$60,000 in fees.
LinkedIn and Indeed are where active job seekers go. The candidates on Passive are employed and not actively looking — they're checking the market quietly, on their own time. You won't find them on a job board because they don't use them. Subscribing to Passive is how you reach them.
Passive is built and marketed specifically for people who are employed and not actively job searching. Our entire candidate-acquisition channel selects for this audience — the product wouldn't appeal to active seekers in the same way. When you receive an application from a Passive user, you're hearing from someone who chose to act because your role specifically caught their attention. Not someone applying to fifty roles a week.
No. We integrate with whatever ATS you're already using — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, and others. Applications come through to your existing workflow exactly as if the candidate had applied via your careers page. Nothing for your team to relearn.
Honestly, it depends on the role. Highly specific senior roles in narrow geographies will see fewer applications than broad mid-level roles. We don't promise a candidate volume because volume isn't the point — fit is. What we can promise is that every candidate who applies has chosen to engage with your role specifically.
Because per-hire pricing creates the wrong incentives — recruiters who push marginal candidates to close, platforms that flood you with applications to maximize revenue. We charge a subscription because we want you to use the platform when you need it. If you make ten hires through us in a month, that's $100 per hire. If you make zero, you still have access. The math gets better the more you use it.
Most established mid-market tech companies do. We're looking for employers who can be transparent about compensation, who treat their candidates well, and who don't drown candidates in spam. We review every application. We tell you fast.
Passive is for talent leaders who'd rather build a recruiting engine that compounds than rent one that doesn't.
