Transparent costs
instead of commissions
instead of commissions
Costs for sourcing, outreach, and qualification are clear from the start — without wasted reach, without job ads, without annual placement fees.
Smart sourcing
not placement
not placement
We do not place staff for you — we find IT experts through human, peer-level outreach that adapts fully to your recruiting process.
More relevant conversations. Less recruiting waste.
Many companies publish specialized IT roles on LinkedIn, StepStone, or other platforms.
The hope: suitable candidates apply on their own.
In practice
A different effect often emerges:
- many irrelevant applications
- high screening workload for HR and hiring managers
- wasted ad spend
- few truly relevant conversations
Perfomynd turns this process around.
Our approach
Instead of relying on chance and waiting for the ideal application, we proactively identify people who are a professional and personal fit for the role. We reach out to suitable candidates directly, assess motivation, availability, salary range, and mindset — and hand over a qualified shortlist.
The result
- better recruiting conversations
- less workload for HR
- faster decision cycles
- predictable costs
- higher quality in the candidate process
In the end, your HR team receives a candidate shortlist it can take straight into the next conversations.
