Talented people are scarce. The best ones are never on job boards — they're excelling somewhere else, heads down, not looking.
Poach is the first ever AI native headhunter. Every company that changed an industry did it with people they took from someone else. That is not a secret. It is just how it works at the highest level. The best people already have jobs. We poach them for you.
Senior professionals at these companies have registered their interest on Poach under a pseudonym. Fully verified. Completely invisible to their employer. Waiting for something worth leaving for.

Recruiters find people who are looking. The people you want are never looking. That is precisely what makes them the best.
None of them applied. Every one of them was specifically identified and deliberately pursued. Every single one of those hires changed the entire trajectory of the company that made the move.
Sheryl Sandberg was a VP at Google. Facebook pursued her in 2008. She built their ads business into $55 billion a year and turned Facebook into a business that actually made money.
Claire Hughes Johnson spent a decade at Google. Patrick Collison personally identified and pursued her in 2014 to become Stripe's COO. She built the operational infrastructure that scaled Stripe from a small startup to a $95 billion company.
Belinda Johnson was at Yahoo. Brian Chesky pursued her specifically to be Airbnb's first COO. She built the infrastructure that let Airbnb operate in 190 countries.
Keith Rabois was at LinkedIn. Jack Dorsey specifically recruited him as COO of Square in 2010 when Square was a handful of people in a small office. Rabois brought the discipline that turned Square into a public company.
Tim Cook was VP at Compaq. Steve Jobs personally identified and pursued him in 1998 when Apple was weeks from bankruptcy. Cook didn't apply. Jobs went after him specifically. He rebuilt Apple's supply chain and became CEO.
That is the move. Poach helps you make it. The person who changes your company is at Google right now. They want to leave. They just need the right door.
Poach builds a full intelligence profile on every target — what drives them, what they have built, what they are missing in their current role, and the exact moment they are most likely to say yes.
Every approach is built around that specific human being. Not a template. Not a blast. A deliberate, researched move that gets a response from someone who has not responded to anyone in three years.
Tell us what you need. We handle everything from first contact to the moment they are sitting across from you.
You have followed their work. You know their name, their company, their impact, and exactly what changes for your business the moment they walk through your door.
Give Poach the name.
Our team of AI agents research everything. What drives them. What is missing in their current role. What the right message is, through the right channel, at the right moment. We make contact and manage the entire process until they are sitting across from you.
This works for individuals. It also works when you want to bring an entire team out of a specific company.
Give poach the criteria. A VP of Engineering at a FAANG company who has scaled infrastructure to 100 million users. A CMO who has taken a consumer product from zero to a household name. A CFO who has navigated Series B through IPO.
We find everyone who fits.
Our agents identify who is most likely to be open right now based on everything we know about their current situation. We approach them. We bring you the shortlist.
If they are already in our verified private network you have them within 24 hours. If they are not we go find them.
You tell poach the role. Not a job description with bullet points. Tell us what this person needs to have done, what they will do here, and what success looks like in twelve months.
First contact happens within days. Not months. The entire process moves faster than any headhunter you have worked with because we do not sleep, do not have competing clients, and do not rely on a rolodex built in 2009.
We made contact. They are open to a conversation. Here is everything you need before the call.
We had been trying to hire a senior ML engineer for eight months. Three recruiters. Zero results. We gave Poach a name on a Tuesday. By Friday we had a conversation scheduled. He joined six weeks later.
I knew exactly who I wanted. I just had no way to reach her. Poach reached her. She is now our VP of Product and we shipped three months ahead of schedule.
We used executive search. Gave them the profile. Had a verified shortlist of four candidates within 24 hours. We hired one. Best hire I have made in ten years of building companies.
Traditional headhunters take 20–30% of a hire's annual salary. That's a six-figure bill for a single senior hire. Poach charges 10% of one monthly salary — the same quality candidate, a fraction of the cost.
The person who changes your company is at Google right now. We will go get them.
