You know that feeling when you connect a friend with their dream job?
That good deed deserves more than just a thank you. It deserves compensation.
Whether you're an engineer who knows brilliant developers, a salesperson connected to top-tier account executives, or a marketing leader with access to growth specialists—your network has tremendous value.
Twill pays you for it.
I'm Michelle, and after years in sales at NBC, ABC, and AOL in New York, I launched my executive search firm in 2018. I filled sales roles while my network of engineers and PMs handled technical positions. The system worked really well.
That success inspired me to build Twill—a platform that democratizes recruiting by allowing anyone to earn serious income from their professional network.
We're not reinventing human behavior. We're simply recognizing that your recommendations have real value—value that the best tech companies in the world are eager to pay for through Twill.
Ready to be rewarded for recommendations you're already making? Join Twill today.
Top talent is bombarded with thousands of cold emails from recruiters they don't know. But they do pick up the phone when a friend calls—and those friends are Twill members.
We don’t care about pedigree, we care about ideas and solving problems before they happen.
Why should I hire with Twill?
Twill Members are top tier product leaders, software engineers, and star sellers that hand pick the best people they’ve worked with for your job. Twill members have spent thousands of hours working with their peers and accurately and quickly identify the right person for a job. Passive candidates are inundated with cold emails and InMails from recruiter, but they pick up the phone when their friends call - and those friends are Twill members.
How do companies work with Twill?
After sending a job request to Twill, Members will recommend their peers. Twill vets and curates referrals, only surfacing the best of the best to your team. We provide a warm intro to the candidate for you to interview on your own schedule. Each company is assigned a dedicated account manager who is available on your schedule for status calls, daily/weekly reports, and pipeline calibration and review. You’re also able to chat directly with Twill members about their talent, ask questions, and tap into their knowledge.
What is contingent search?
Contingent search is a recruitment model where you only pay when you find your dream hire.
In other words, companies don’t pay anything unless we successfully find you the right candidate. It’s a low risk pay-for-performance model.
How are contingent search fees structured?
Your first hire is $20K flat fee, no matter the level – so you can test the water with us. After that, every hire is a flat rate that depends on the level. Never pay a % of salary again. You’ll get the best talent, not the most expensive talent.
What happens if hires leave after placement?
We find you a new candidate. For no additional cost. While most recruiting agencies offer 30-day guarantees (or none at all), we offer 90 days – so you can really ensure your hire is the right fit.
Are there any "real" recruiters on Twill?
We believe in the power of domain experts who live and breathe their field. We have product leaders, software engineers and sellers that recruit peers within their networks for your job. This means better talent with a better fit, because Twill members put their social capital at stake to fill your roles.
How long does it take to hire through Twill?
Time to fill a position can vary depending on the complexity of the role and the availability of your team to interview, but we average 90 days or less with most roles being filled around 22 days.
What is required to become a Twill member?
Twill members apply to join our network. We only accept stellar individual contributors and managers – focusing on engineering, product, sales, marketing, growth, ops and customer success.. Accepted members typically have 8+ years experience, deep networks and expertise, and impressive accomplishments vetted by Twill.
How are Twill members paid?
Twill members earn up to 50% of the placement fee and Twill pays them directly. Our Members have spent years nurturing relationships and their own expertise. They succeed where cold out reach fails. This translates to significant income for activities members often do anyway (finding their friends great jobs), and ensures companies get stellar talent, fast.
