The archive

The candidates you couldn't hire are still gold.

You've built the highest-signal candidate network in tech. Sitting in your archive. Paying you nothing.

The wrong-timing pile

Hundreds of great candidates, screened personally, didn't fit at the time. Other companies pay agencies $40K to find people exactly like them.

Relationships that walk

The network you built belongs to your current job. The day you leave, the formal connection breaks.

The free favors

Friends ask "do you know anyone" constantly. You answer. Hire happens. You've subsidized other people's recruiting your entire career.

Conflict protection

Built for day-job realities.

Senior TA leaders have non-competes, employer agreements, reputational stakes. Three pillars protect all three.

01

Employer blacklist

Permanent. Real-time.

Tell us where you work and which companies you consider competitors. All blacklisted permanently. You will never see, match with, or earn from a placement at any of them.

02

Anonymous by default

You decide what clients see.

Hiring managers see "Refery TA partner" not your name. We don't list TA partners on our website or marketing.

03

Referral, not recruiting

No quota. No hours. No second job.

Refery is referral economics. Occasional warm intros, one-time fees. Closer to a referral bonus than contract recruiting.

Your day job is your day job. Refery is the side your employer never sees.

The companies

Where your best people end up.

VC-backed startups, pre-seed through Series B. Most within 12 months of their last raise. The companies your candidates will brag about working at in five years.
