In Rec2Rec the candidates and the clients are the same few hundred firms. hyreflow reads dated career histories to show which agencies feed a team and which are taking its people, and reads growth signals to find the agencies about to hire.

hyreflow connectedUse hyreflow and show me where the technology desk at Acme Recruitment in London hired its consultants from, and where the ones who left went.
One agency and the desk you care about, or the kind of agency you place into.
hyreflow samples the people on that desk, reads where each one joined from and where the leavers went, and ranks the agencies on both sides. On the client side it reads growth signals across your market and finds the director who owns the hire.
Every table shows the size of the sample behind it. You choose which agencies to source from and which are off limits.
Recruiters move between a small number of firms. That movement is the data.
Dated work history, from people databases
Which agencies feed a competitor's team, and which ones are hiring its people away.
A sample of dated career histories, not a census. The output prints the sample size, and a leaver is only counted once the dated history confirms the move.
Company changes
Which agencies are growing, and so tend to need consultants and someone to lead them.
Strongest for larger agencies. A boutique of ten people leaves few of these traces, so small firms are better worked from a list you name.
Announcements, read from the source
Which agencies have just changed hands, where consultants tend to look around and the buyer tends to hire.
Covers deals that were announced. A quiet management buyout or a team move leaves no announcement to read.
A signal is a reason to call, not a guarantee. Each one links to the play that works it.
Someone has to build the new team. A leader tends to be hired first, then consultants around them.
Consultants on the acquired side often take a call they would have declined a month earlier.
A desk without an owner. The agency usually needs a replacement, and the team may be open to a conversation.
The need is open and budgeted. Worth a call before the role has been out for long.
Claudehyreflow connectedUse hyreflow and find the recruitment agencies in the UK showing growth signals this quarter, with the director who owns hiring at each.
Name the kind of agency you place into. hyreflow reads the growth signals across that market, ranks the ones showing two signals above those showing one, and finds the director who owns the hire with a verified work email. Run the off-limits screen and your own clients are dropped from a sourcing list before it is loaded.
Every play is a prompt you can copy, with the tools it calls and what it costs to run.

People data, company signals and contact lookup are part of hyreflow. Your ATS and your sequencer plug in through the account you already have.

From the agencies you name. It pulls the consultants on the desk you care about, scores each one on dated work history, applies your off-limits list, and returns a personal email or a LinkedIn profile for each. A second play starts from people who have said publicly that they are open to work.
Yes. For one agency and one desk it returns two ranked tables: the employers its current people joined from, and the employers its leavers went to, each with a count, the years of the moves and the sample size. It is a sample, not a census, and the output says so.
No. Billings are not public and hyreflow does not estimate them. Candidates are scored on what the record shows: tenure, promotions, the sector they recruit in and the agencies they have worked for. Billings are a question for your call.
It reads growth signals: a new office, a reported rise in headcount, or a run of roles first seen recently. An agency showing two of these ranks above one showing a single signal, and every signal carries its date and source.
With your off-limits list. Clients, agencies under agreement and anyone already in process are screened out before a sourcing list is loaded or a contact detail is paid for, and you get a report of who was dropped and which rule dropped them.
Yes. The sourcing plays take the titles you give them, so a search for an in-house talent partner runs the same way, drawn from the employers you name.
Connect hyreflow to Claude or ChatGPT and ask where that team was hired from and who is taking its people. Every table comes with the sample behind it.
