What changes
A search firm’s research, inside your team.
-
See the market before you hire
Every company you would hire from, and who runs the function there, mapped before the role is even open.
-
A longlist you can defend
Every name scored against a scorecard written for your brief, with written reasons a hiring manager can read.
-
Hiring managers in the loop
A portal where hiring managers see each candidate’s assessment, approve or decline with a reason, and leave feedback – without anyone exporting a spreadsheet.
In practice
How in-house teams use Topliner.
-
Map a market, or a leadership team
Every relevant company read by agents, and everyone who has held the seat, before the first approach.
Research -
Know who you are talking to
What your team learned in each conversation, and the story of every company the person worked at.
Candidate insights -
Approach from the search
Approaches and replies tracked on the candidate, so a senior search does not live in someone’s inbox.
Outreach -
One pipeline for senior hires
Every leadership search in one place, with a portal for each hiring manager.
ATS & client portal -
Ask what you already know
Who did we speak to for this role last year? Ask, and the answer comes from your own notes.
Copilot -
The whole platform
Research, candidate insights, outreach, the pipeline and the client portal, with a copilot over all of it.

Questions
Questions, answered.
Who is the pilot for?
In-house talent teams that hire senior leaders and want a search firm’s research behind their own team. Get in touch to see whether it fits.
What does the pilot include?
We are shaping it with our first in-house team, around the platform and our research team. Get in touch and we will tell you what it looks like today.
Is our data kept apart from the search firms on Topliner?
Yes. Your workspace is yours: data is shared only inside it, under access controls you set, and is never shared with other organisations on the platform.
How is our data protected?
Topliner is SOC 2 Type II audited, hosted in the EU and encrypted in transit and at rest. Your searches, notes and candidates are never used to train AI models – that is in our terms, not just our policy.
