REVERSE RECRUITING
Strategic market representation for professionals seeking deliberate, high-level access to hiring decision-makers.
​
What Is Reverse Recruiting?
Traditionally, recruiters represent companies seeking talent. Reverse recruiting shifts that representation to you.
​
At Lookly, this means we represent you directly to hiring leaders aligned with your defined scope and objectives — through deliberate positioning and disciplined outreach.
​
This is not a standalone resume service or generalized career counseling.
It is a structured market representation aligned with how hiring decisions are actually made.
-
Defined scope.
-
Calibrated positioning.
-
Direct outreach to hiring leaders.
We work with professionals pursuing intentional transitions who want targeted access to aligned decision-makers.
​
Selective by Design:
We intentionally limit the number of reverse recruiting engagements we take on.
That allows us to remain focused, thoughtful, and precise.
This service is designed for professionals pursuing deliberate transitions who value disciplined representation.
We move forward only when alignment and mutual confidence are clear.
How It Works
A Deliberate Approach to Market Representation
1. Mutual Fit Assessment
Explore alignment and determine whether Reverse Recruiting is the right mutual fit.
2. Reverse Recruiting Track Selection
Select representation level and formalize engagement.
3. Strategic Market Preparation
Build the documented roadmap before entering the market.
4. Active Representation
Execute disciplined outreach and structured follow-up.
Engagement Framework
​
Mutual Fit Assessment
Engagement begins with a focused, two-way discussion.
​
This conversation allows us to understand what you are pursuing and gives you a clear sense of how we work.
The purpose is simple: determine whether reverse recruiting is the right move and whether we should move forward together.
It is not a working strategy session. It is an evaluation of fit, direction, and expectations.
If alignment is clear, we proceed to Reverse Recruiting Track Selection and issue a formal engagement agreement.
​
​Reverse Recruiting Track Selection
Once alignment is established, we determine the Reverse Recruiting Track that best fits your level of seniority, role scope, and objectives.
​
Each track reflects the structure and levelof representation required.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
