Frequently Asked Questions

HootRecruit is for recruiters, staffing and recruiting agencies, talent acquisition leaders, founders, and hiring teams — anyone who is hiring and needs help finding and connecting with top talent!

Please note, we are currently only supporting US-based roles. We hope to expand to other regions in the future.

  1. Respond to a few straightforward questions. There’s nothing extraneous here. Our intake form has easy, quick, targeted questions to get to the heart of what you need.
  2. Receive a list of relevant candidates. Easily view candidate details and shortlist those who are the best fit. Candidates are organized by relevancy.
  3. Connect with your favorite candidates. Once you receive your results, add them directly to a personalized email campaign. We’re integrated with Google and Microsoft, so you can securely and efficiently send and receive emails from your work email account.
  4. Quickly export candidates for any ATS or CRM. We’re ATS and CRM agnostic, which means you can export candidates and upload them to any applicant tracking system you use.
  5. Work with our Customer Success Reps (CSRs) to refine and maximize the effectiveness of your sourcing efforts.

A passive candidate is someone who is not actively seeking a new job opportunity. If presented with a good opportunity, they might be interested in a change and join your team!

Did you know 70% of the talent base is passive? That means companies are missing out on most candidates if they only rely on posting the job position and hoping that qualified people apply.

We think that’s silly, so we’ve flipped the script. Why wait for your next hire to find you when you can go out and find your next hire?

Passive candidates tend to be a little harder to engage because they’re not actively in job search mode. With the right messaging and opportunity though, you never know who you might convince to work with you!

We can support US-based professional-level roles (both technical and non-technical) such as software engineers, project managers, accountants, finance leaders, HR, talent acquisition and recruiting, sales, and marketing.

We can’t currently support sourcing for most frontline roles including jobs in medicine, retail, or academia.

If you have a role but are unsure if we’re right for you, reach out to us at hello@iqrecruit.com.

The number of candidates varies depending on the specifications given for each role. Most roles yield 50-200 candidates depending on the qualifications, job level, requirements, and complexity of the role you submit.

Nope! We provide candidate sourcing, but not active candidate management.

$750/per role for the first 30 days, then only $375 for an additional 30 days.

At HootRecruit, we are evolving to better serve you! As we transition from IQRecruit to HootRecruit, be assured that the exceptional service, experience, and engagement you’ve come to expect remain at the core of our operations.

While you may still notice remnants of IQRecruit in some communications or within the platform for a short while, rest assured that everything will seamlessly shift to HootRecruit by the year’s end. We are working diligently to make this change as smooth and transparent as possible for you.

Should you have any queries or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
