“Who, not how.”Dan Sullivan

How it works

Simple to use. Intricate in function.

Three steps for you, usually done in under 15 minutes. Underneath: the right sources for your role from 40+ live ones, every Top 5 name re-checked and every claim traced to where it came from.

  1. Brief the role

    One line, or paste the job ad. It becomes a nine-point fit checklist built from what you actually need.

  2. We search and check

    The sources that fit your role, chosen from 40+ and read the moment you run it. Every claim sourced; every Top 5 name re-checked.

  3. Call your five

    A ranked Top 5 with reasons, what to confirm on the call, and a first message drafted for each.

“You win the championship in the draft.”Alex Hormozi

What you get back

Your next superstar is out there. Here’s your Top 5, shown its working.

  • Scored on what decides the hire: qualification, likelihood to move, availability, culture fit and how well it’s researched.
  • A nine-point fit checklist from your brief, ticked per person.
  • Every claim linked to its source, with estimates marked as estimates.
  • Current roles re-checked before you see them.

Why it matters

The right hire doesn’t add. It compounds.

A great hire keeps producing every month they stay, and makes the next hire easier. A rushed one costs you twice: once in salary, then again when you hire to replace them.

Fair questions

Before you ask.

We don’t have an HR team. Is this for us?

That’s who it’s built for. If you’re the one hiring on top of your real job, Simplenova does the research a senior recruiter would: who fits, why, and how to reach them. You make the calls.

Is this just LinkedIn with AI on top?

No. LinkedIn is one of 40+ sources, alongside registries, publications and company pages, all read the moment you run the search.

What if it gets something wrong?

Public information can be out of date. That’s why every claim links to its source, estimates are marked, and current roles are re-checked. Treat the Top 5 as a well-researched start, then confirm on the call.

Where does candidate information come from?

Only public, professional information. Contact details come from public pages and licensed data providers, only for people you choose. Nothing sensitive like age or health. Stored in Sydney, deleted after 90 days, under the Australian Privacy Principles.

What does it cost?

One monthly plan for all your roles, with no placement fee. We share pricing on a 5–15 minute call, after a free search on one of your roles.

Can your team take it from there?

Yes, if you want: Top Talent Consult can approach, screen and see the offer through.
