How it works
People already text recruiters, hiring managers, and friends when they need a job or a hire. This name is the inbox. A message comes in. Software does the work.
- Step 1
They text the name
A job seeker sends a resume. A manager sends a role. A founder asks who to hire next.
- Step 2
AI does the work
It writes applications, screens inbound candidates, and lines up interviews while you keep moving.
- Step 3
You make the call
You get a short list, a draft offer, or a scheduled loop. You decide. The domain did the running.
Five ways this domain gets to $100M
Each model can reach $100M in annual revenue on its own. If it costs 20% to build and maintain, profit is 80% of revenue, or $80M at that scale. The figures are working assumptions for a buyer, not a forecast, and they do not use invented market statistics.
- Model 1
Vertical AI chatbot
A text-native hiring assistant for job seekers and hiring managers. Revenue comes from consumer subscriptions, CPC advertising, and CPL offers.
- Write and send tailored applications from a resume and a job link.
- Screen inbound candidates and return a ranked short list.
- Prep interview questions, score answers, and draft an offer.
Path to $100M annual revenue Line Amount 500,000 subscribers at $12/month $72M 10,000,000 ad clicks at $2 CPC $20M 160,000 CPL conversions at $50 $8M Annual revenue $100M Profit at 20% cost $80M - Model 2
AI bidding and offer negotiation
The model fights for a better deal, then takes a commission. Think Priceline, Kayak, or Thumbtack, applied to hiring: competing employers, competing contractors, and an assistant that pushes on comp, start date, and terms until the better offer wins.

Recruiter OS, sold as B2B SaaS
A text inbox, pipeline, and AI screener for in-house recruiters and staffing desks. Teams already live in SMS and WhatsApp. Charge them a yearly seat instead of a job-board contract.

Candidate lead marketplace
Sell permissioned, qualified short lists to employers and agencies. The domain is the front door. The product is a ranked intro, not another resume database.
Path to $100M annual revenue Line Amount Short lists sold a year 500,000 Price per short list $200 Annual revenue $100M Profit at 20% cost $80M - Model 5
Checks, assessments, and payroll attach

This is a landscape of funded or high-traffic operators, not a claim that any of them is for sale, and not a complete census of the category.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
A buyer of this name is not buying the entire hiring economy. The useful way to size it is in layers: all matching and staffing spend, then the digital job-advertising and talent-sourcing slice this domain would actually compete in, then a share a new operator could reasonably win.
TAM, top down
Recruit Holdings, the parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, estimates the global HR matching market at $302 billion in 2025, slightly below $310 billion in 2024. That total, which Recruit builds from Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) figures and its own estimates, has five parts: job advertising and talent sourcing at $34 billion (SIA), direct hire at $71 billion, retained search at $24 billion, temporary staffing at $105 billion on Recruit's take-rate basis, and internal recruitment automation at $68 billion. Those figures are global, not U.S. only. A narrower U.S. staffing number: the American Staffing Association, as reported by Staffing Today, put U.S. temporary and contract staffing sales at $124.0 billion in 2024, down 13.0% from 2023. That number is mostly payroll for temporary workers, not software or job-board fees, so it is a much larger envelope than a text-first hiring product would collect. A 2025 ASA total was reported later by third parties, but the association's own 2026 write-up was not retrievable (the posted URL returned 404), so it is not used here. [4][13]
SAM, the digital hiring layer
The serviceable market is the digital matching and software layer, not the wages inside a staffing assignment. Kentley Insights puts the U.S. job postings industry at $20.0 billion of revenue in 2025, after a slight decline over three years. Kentley's definition is broader than pure online job boards. It includes employment placement agencies and related registries, so treat $20 billion as a high-end U.S. proxy, not a clean job-board TAM. A tighter comparable: Recruit's U.S. HR Technology revenue was $5.31 billion in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, which is Indeed and Glassdoor in the U.S., not LinkedIn or ZipRecruiter. LinkedIn's $19.817 billion is global and mixes hiring products with advertising and subscriptions. A practical U.S. online-hiring SAM therefore sits in a range: about $5 billion to $20 billion, depending on whether you count only the large job marketplaces or the wider placement-and-postings set. Reports do not agree, and they are not measuring the same thing. [12][4][1]
SOM, an illustrative $100M
The $100 million annual revenue used on this page is illustrative, not a forecast. It would be 0.5% of Kentley's $20.0 billion U.S. job-postings market, or about 1.9% of Recruit's $5.31 billion of U.S. HR Technology revenue, or 0.08% of the $124.0 billion of 2024 U.S. staffing sales. That is a small slice of staffing payroll, and a meaningful but not dominant slice of the digital hiring layer. [12][4][13]
Bottom up
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey recorded 62.972 million total nonfarm hires in 2025 (the sum of the 12 monthly levels, not seasonally adjusted). At that volume, $100 million of net revenue is about $1.59 per U.S. hire. One working model on this page is more concentrated: 250,000 accepted offers (about 0.40% of those hires) times $50,000 of average first-year cash compensation times a 0.8% commission equals $100 million. Those price and take-rate figures are working assumptions for a buyer, not surveyed market averages. A subscription path is also shown above: 500,000 subscribers at $12 a month is $72 million, with advertising and lead fees making up the rest. [14]
Quarterly path to a $100M run rate
Illustrative projection, not a forecast.
A 16-quarter ramp for an operator running this name as a hiring product. Annual run rate is that quarter's revenue times 4. The ramp reaches a $100M run rate in Year 4, Quarter 4, when quarterly revenue is $25M and profit is $20M.

| Y3Q4 | Year 3, Q4 | $13.50M | $10.80M | $54.00M |
| Y4Q1 | Year 4, Q1 | $17.00M | $13.60M | $68.00M |
| Y4Q2 | Year 4, Q2 | $20.50M | $16.40M | $82.00M |
| Y4Q3 | Year 4, Q3 | $23.50M | $18.80M | $94.00M |
| Y4Q4 | Year 4, Q4 | $25.00M | $20.00M | $100.00M |
Highlight marks the first quarter the annual run rate reaches $100M.
Assumptions. The starting period is Year 1, Quarter 1. Growth is a smooth 16-quarter climb from $0.20M in quarterly revenue to $25.00M. Annual run rate equals quarterly revenue times 4. Profit equals 80% of revenue in every quarter, because costs to build and maintain are assumed at 20%. This is one illustrative path, not a blended forecast of the five models, and not a promise of results.
