You're screening candidates on the call.

By the time you know they're wrong, the slot's gone and so is whoever else reached out. Thayne screens every candidate the moment they message you, in your voice, and hands you a written brief before you pick up the phone.

Screening was never the cost. The candidate you didn't reach was.

The usual complaint is time lost to bad candidates. That isn't the real cost. The real cost is what you weren't doing while the call ran: the strong candidate who messaged at 10:40 and waited, the inbox you reached three hours late, the placement that went to whoever replied first.

Speed is the job. The best candidate in your pipeline right now is already in two or three other conversations, and there is no prize for the most thorough process if someone else gets there faster. Thayne does not replace the call. It makes sure the call is worth having before you agree to it.

The dead-end call

Thirty minutes you'd clocked at ten

They won't relocate, the numbers are miles off, it's a specialism you don't cover. You stay professional to the end. The slot's gone, and so is whoever was waiting in your inbox.

The message you missed

The right candidate, three hours too slow

Someone genuinely strong reaches out while you're mid-call, or between two, or at the end of a long day. You see it eventually. By then they've already spoken to the recruiter who replied first.

The uneven screen

Your screening varies with your energy

On a good day you cover everything. On a busy morning things slip. What you learn before a call depends on the headspace you had that hour. Thayne asks the same questions every time, regardless.

The screening was always going to happen. The only question is whether it happens before the call, or eats it.

It runs the screen the second they message you.

A guided preview, not the live link. Talk to the real thing →

You write the opening line and the screening questions once. From then on, every candidate who clicks your link gets the same structured first conversation, day or night, the instant they reach out. It follows up on a vague answer exactly the way you told it to.

  • Immediate
    Starts the second they reach out, not when you get a spare ten minutes. You're first.
  • Complete
    Motivation, salary, notice, location. Every question, every time, never skipped.
  • In your voice
    Your wording, your follow-ups. They're talking to your desk, not a bot they can clock.

Every candidate arrives already written up.

Open your dashboard and each conversation is already screened, tiered and written up. Not a transcript to wade through, a read of what it means: motivation, the numbers, availability, and exactly where to take the call. Here's a real one.

Thayne.

Briefing
Nine years in product, leaving because the company pivoted away from the problem he was hired to solve. The move is values-driven, not financial: he'd take a seniority step back for the right mission.
Salary sits at the top of your range but not above it. Available in four weeks, London-based, open to hybrid. He has been passively looking for three months without the right fit, so intent is genuine and patience is thin.
Two processes failed at offer stage in the last month. Get to that before you pitch anything, it could be a comp gap each time or how he handles the final decision under pressure. Open on the pivot rather than your roles: ask what the original problem was that he was hired to solve.
Ask anything about Marcus T.

Built for how independent recruiters actually work.

01

Only call the ones worth it

The filtering happens before you're involved. Every candidate who reaches your phone has already been assessed. Every call is one worth taking.

02

First to the strong ones

The moment someone reaches out, Thayne is already talking to them. While competitors are still scheduling, you have a brief and know what to say.

03

Nothing slips

Salary, notice, location, real motivation. The things that matter every time but slip on a busy day. Asked in full, without variation.

04

Sounds like you, not software

You write the opening and the questions, and how it handles a vague answer. Candidates are talking to your desk, not a tool they clock in a second.

05

One link, every channel

LinkedIn, job boards, cold outreach, email. Wherever candidates reach you, the same link handles the first conversation. Consistent screening, no extra effort.

06

Sets the tone early

A considered, structured first exchange says you take their time seriously. Your reputation starts in message one. Thayne keeps it a good one.

Questions recruiters ask us first.

Less screening. More placing.

Thayne is live right now. Talk to it the way one of your candidates would, then decide. Two minutes is all it takes to see the whole thing work.
