How hiring works on TalentBid

Three steps. No JD writing, no inbound resume pile.

1

Create your company profile

Logo, tagline, what you're building. Builders see this on every bid you send.

2

Search the Genome

Filter by skills, salary range, equity preference, and shipping velocity. Real builders, real signal.

3

Place a bid

Send a real offer — base, equity, location. Builder accepts, counters, or declines. No ghosting.

Why teams hire here

Built for founders who'd rather ship than triage applications.

Employer FAQ

How much does it cost?

Free during beta. After GA, you pay per bid sent. Builders are always free.

Do builders actually respond?

Yes — bids carry real comp up front, so reply rates beat cold outreach by 5–10x. Bids auto-expire in 48h.

Can my team collaborate?

Invite teammates by email with owner, admin, or recruiter roles. Shared shortlists and bid history.

What about IP and confidentiality?

Bids are private between you and the builder. We never expose your roles or comp to other employers.

Is 2FA required?

Yes — every employer account is prompted to enable 2FA right after signup. Authenticator app or email codes, your pick.
