Ambient recruiting

The recruiter you don't have to hire.

Tell us who you need. We find them, reach out, talk to them, and hand you people ready to interview. You spend about 10 minutes.

Free to search. Then $100 a month for 100 unlocks.

The old way

Hiring today is broken.

Pay an agency $20,000 a hire. Skip the agency and you're hiring an internal sourcer or paying a retainer, often $5,000 to $10,000 a month, for the same work.

Post on Indeed and you hear from people who are out of work or applying to everything. The best people aren't applying at all.

There's a better way now.

How it works

You do three small things.
Expa does the rest.

Step 1

Say who you want

Plain English, or paste a job post. We figure out the rest and only ask if something's genuinely missing.

Step 2

Approve a shortlist

We send you the best people. Everyone is in by default, so you only tap to remove. Nothing goes out until you go live.

Step 3

Talk to the good ones

Someone good says yes, and Expa hands them straight to you. That's the whole job.

Nothing to work day to day. Nothing to chase.

Why it's different

It works like a person, not like software.

Every other tool hands you software and says good luck. You still log in, check the dashboard, and do the work yourself. Expa is the opposite. You tell it who you want. It goes and gets them.

It's the sourcer you were about to hire for six figures. Except it started today, it never logs off, and it costs a fraction.

Always on

Candidates hear back in minutes, at 9pm, on a Sunday. Speed is how you win the good ones before someone else does.

It communicates with people

It answers their questions, checks your must-haves, and keeps strong people warm. You only meet the ones worth meeting.

It reaches people the right way

Expa texts candidates itself, and sends from your own email and LinkedIn once you connect them. Not one more email sitting unread in a dead inbox.

Built for who you're hiring

Healthcare, executive, startup.

Physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, therapists, nurses, techs.

Expa knows licenses, credentials, and shift work.

A dermatology group in San Mateo filled a physician role in 18 days. The owner spent 40 minutes total.
Real outcome
You stay in control

You're always in charge.

Nothing goes out until you go live. You see every person before we reach them, and anyone you take off the list drops off that shortlist and is not contacted.

Questions

The things people ask us first.

What is Expa?

Expa is an ambient recruiter: software that does the sourcing work a human recruiter does. You describe the role in plain English, and Expa finds matching candidates, contacts them, answers their questions, and hands you the people who are interested and qualified. You do not have to run it day to day, and you spend about 10 minutes per role.

How does Expa work?

There are three steps. You say who you want, in plain English or by pasting a job post. Expa builds a shortlist, where everyone is included by default and you tap to remove anyone you do not want. Nothing goes out until you launch it. Expa then reaches out to the people who remain and has the conversation, and hands you the people who say yes, ready for you to talk to.

How much does Expa cost?

Expa costs $100 a month, which includes 100 managed candidate outreach; beyond that you can buy more, with a 50-credit minimum. Describing a role, running the search and reviewing your shortlist are free; you pay when you approve candidates. That is less than a day of an in-house sourcer's time and a small fraction of a typical agency placement fee, which runs around $20,000 a hire. You can cancel at any time.

Who can Expa hire for?

Expa recruits for employers hiring in the United States, across healthcare, executive and startup roles. In healthcare that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, therapists, nurses and techs, and Expa understands licenses, credentials and shift work. On the executive side it reaches VPs, directors and C-suite candidates who would never answer a job board. Expa does not currently reach candidates outside the US.

Is Expa a job board?

No. A job board waits for people to apply to you, which means you hear from candidates who are actively out of work or applying everywhere. Expa works the other way around: it goes and contacts the people who match your role, including the ones who are employed and not looking, and starts the conversation on your behalf.

How fast does Expa reply to candidates?

Within minutes, at any hour, including nights and weekends. Speed is how the strongest candidates get won, because the first credible employer to reply is usually the one who gets the conversation. Expa never logs off, so a candidate who reads your message at 9pm on a Sunday gets an answer at 9pm on a Sunday.

Do I stay in control of who gets contacted?

Yes. You see every candidate on the shortlist before anything is sent, and nothing goes out until you launch it. Anyone you remove drops out of that shortlist and is not contacted; you can put them back if you change your mind.

How is Expa different from a recruiting agency or an internal sourcer?

An agency placement fee typically runs around $20,000 a hire, and an in-house sourcer typically costs $5,000 to $10,000 a month. Expa does the same sourcing and outreach work for $100 a month, including 100 managed candidate outreach, and starts the day you sign up.
