What changes
Grow the firm without losing the standard.
-
Researchers with more reach
Agents do the first read of every company and every profile. Your researchers spend their time on judgement and quality.
-
Knowledge that stays with the firm
What your team learns in every conversation becomes insight on the person that every partner can find – and it stays when people move on.
-
One standard for every client
An update every week and a portal on every search, with a written reason for every candidate ruled out.
In practice
How mid-size firms use Topliner.
-
A research team with more reach
Agents map and read the market at the scale of the whole firm; researchers check, judge and decide.
Research -
Every conversation, on the record
Insights from your team’s calls and notes, on the person, for every partner who meets them next.
Candidate insights -
One pipeline across practices
Every search, candidate and placement in one record, with access set per search and a portal for each client.
ATS & client portal -
Outreach from the search itself
Approaches and replies tracked on the candidate and the search, not in personal inboxes.
Outreach -
Ask across everything the firm knows
Notes, pipelines and market maps answer in plain words – in Topliner, or in the AI apps your team already uses.
Copilot -
The whole platform
Research, candidate insights, outreach, the pipeline and the client portal, with a copilot over all of it.

Questions
Questions, answered.
Does Topliner replace our researchers?
No. It changes what they spend their time on: agents do the first read of the market, and your researchers check, judge and decide. A person reviews the work on every search, so nobody is ruled out by a model on its own, and our own researchers and talent operations can work beside yours.
Can we control who sees which search?
Yes. A restricted search has its own access list and hides its mappings and deals from everyone else. Clients see only the searches you share with them, and only the stages you choose.
Is our data kept apart from other firms?
No. Data is shared only inside your own workspace, under access controls you set. We do not sell or rent it, and candidate data is not shared between firms.
What will our clients’ security teams ask for?
Usually the SOC 2 Type II report and how data is hosted and used. The report is shared under NDA through our trust center, and the security page answers the rest.
