We do the business development for you.

business development. We find the companies, bring the jobs, and you make the placements.

100%

your candidates. When there is an opportunity, we come to you first.

Your best next placement may already be in your system.

Recruiters naturally work from the candidates who are top of mind.

01

The people you talked to last week.

02

The candidates currently in process.

03

The handful of people you know you can reach quickly.

But underneath that is an entire network full of people you sourced, screened, submitted, or are tracking.

Maybe they were great, but the right job was not there. Maybe you have not thought about them in months.

They are just buried in your ATS.

Put your entire ATS to work.

There are only so many candidates you can keep top of mind.

Maybe they were great, but the timing or job was wrong.

Normally, that work disappears.

Sidebar expands your context window so every candidate in your ATS has a chance to become a new placement. It's a superpower.

Connect once. Use your ATS exactly the way you do today. Make more placements.

As new jobs come in, Sidebar keeps searching your network in the background.

When someone in your ATS is a strong match, we tell you.

No lists to maintain. No database to search. No business development.

The more candidates you have in your ATS, the more chances you have to make a placement.

Sidebar sorts, matches, and presents

Sidebar uses the context you already have to find the right candidate at the right moment.

What we look for in your ATS

Candidate profile

LinkedIn profile or résumé, plus basic candidate information.

Private notes and preferences

What they were looking for, compensation, location, company preferences, and anything else you learned from speaking with them.

Candidate activity

Previous conversations, submissions, interviews, and other context around your relationship.

Current status

Whether they are still in market or have already been placed.

The more context you already keep in your ATS, the better we can match your network against new opportunities.

We found a match in your network.

Maya matches what Atlas Robotics is looking for. We ping you. You decide whether to reach out, get her interested, and submit her with your best pitch.

Your candidates stay yours.

You built the relationship. We help you create more value from it.

We come to you first

When we find a strong match, we bring the opportunity directly to you. The hiring manager does not see your candidate at all until you decide to submit them.

You decide what gets submitted

You reach out to the candidate. You get them excited about the opportunity. You submit them with your best pitch.

Our incentives are aligned

You get paid when your candidate gets hired. We do too. Sidebar will never reach out to your candidates directly.

We have every reason to protect the relationship you built.

Five steps. One placement.

From your existing relationships to a captured fee — without selling a single search.

“It's a no-brainer. We don't have to do any of the work on BD. The candidate is already aligned to the role, and we don't have to do any of the account management.”

Independent recruiter

We're actively looking for candidates in

And many more high-impact roles across tech. Someone already in your network could be exactly who a company is looking for right now.

No ATS? That's okay.

If you do not use an ATS, you can still join the marketplace.

Upload your candidate list by CSV or add candidates directly to Sidebar, along with the notes and context you already keep.

However you work today, we'll help you put the candidates you've already found back to work.

The candidates you don't have jobs for today can still make you money.

You already did the hard work. You found them. You screened them. You learned what they wanted. You just did not have the right job.

Sidebar changes that.

“It's free money. It's already there. All I've got to do is say, ‘Hey, does this job look cool to you?'”
