Mangohound Client intelligence for recruiting agencies Start 7-day trial
AI research agents for recruiting agencies

Win the job order before the pitch.

Mangohound researches your prospect's hiring: who they've lost, where their competitors hire from, and which hires stay. You walk in with the map.

What every agency says

“We have a deep network in your space, and we can start sending you résumés this week.”

Heard ten times this month.

What you'll say

“Jordan — three of your last five AMs left after about a year, and two came from Oracle. Vantrix, your leading competitor, doesn't hire from Oracle. They hire from Apex, Summit and Beacon — and those hires stay. I've already got 15 of them on a shortlist.”

The prospect asks how you know that — and you walk out with the job order.

competitor hires came from just six firms. All mid-size device and lifecycle companies.

competitor hires came from Oracle or Salesforce, and that's where Northpeak recruits.

[ 02 ] Open doors

Offer the briefing. Get the meeting.

See a company hiring in your niche? Don't pitch. Offer to show them who their competitors hire for that seat. Build it only for the ones who say yes, and you walk in with the work already done.

  1. 1
    Offer it

    A cold email or call with a yes/no ask: "Want me to send yours over?" Easier to answer than "can we book a call?"

  2. 2
    Build it when they say yes

    Paste the role. The briefing is ready the same day as a draft only your team can see. Check it, then share.

  3. 3
    Call when they open it

    You see the moment they open the link. That's your cue: "Saw you had a look. Want me to walk you through it?"

Lead with insight, not a resume.Get in even when they already have an agency.Every hiring post is a reason to call.

[ 03 ] Proof, honestly

They already had a recruiting firm. We got the meeting.

How an agency got in the door at a company that told them no, by leading with research instead of résumés.

11days from "we have a contracted
recruiting firm" to a call with the CRO

Case · Business development · Strategic Account Manager

A device-lifecycle tech company. A CRO who said no.

The agency didn't pitch its network. It showed the CRO how his competitors hire, then followed up with candidates chosen because of it.

  1. Day 0The no. The CRO replies: they already work with a contracted recruiting firm.
  2. Day 7The briefing. Instead of résumés, the agency sends research on his market: who his competitors hire into this role, where those people come from, and who stays. He opens it the same day.
  3. Day 10The follow-up. One standout candidate, with the 15-person shortlist and the briefing behind it.
  4. Day 11The meeting. The CRO books a call.

What the research showed him

79comparable companies with people in this role, every one we could find
29hires into the role traced across them, and where each came from
~50%came from roles without "account" in the title, so the shortlist didn't filter on title either

That's the part his current firm wasn't showing him: where this role actually comes from, and why these candidates fit.

Book a walkthrough
Where does the data come from?

Licensed B2B data and the public web: professional profiles, company websites, job postings, funding data, news and public filings. It's all included, so there's nothing to connect and no data subscriptions to buy. If you have your own LinkedIn Recruiter exports or résumés, add them and they're ranked alongside. Every company and move in a briefing links back to the profile it came from.

Does this replace my pitch deck?

No — keep it. Your deck answers "why us?" with your team, your process and your results. The client briefing answers "do you understand our market?" with their team, their competitors and where those competitors hire from. Show it after your deck, send the link as your follow-up, or drop its charts straight into your slides.

Does it contact candidates for me?

No. Mangohound finds, ranks and explains. Your recruiters decide who to call and how — that's the relationship part, and it stays yours.

Does it replace my CRM or ATS?

No. It sits before them: it helps you win the job order and briefs the recruiter. Direct CRM sync is coming soon.

How do you keep the ranking fair?

Candidates are scored on evidence from their work history against the role — what they've done, where, and for how long. Education counts as a tiebreaker when experience is equal. Never on age, graduation year, or whether they resemble the client's current team.

We already have LinkedIn Recruiter. Why this?

Recruiter finds people who match a search you write. Mangohound tells you what search to write: which companies competitors actually hire from, which titles they come out of, and what the client says yes to — before you spend a week sourcing.
