Free for Talent Acquisition Teams

Post unlimited jobs and review unlimited proposals. Hiring through a proposal costs you nothing on AirTA: no platform fees, no credit card.

  • Exclusive Searches Only

    Every accepted proposal is exclusive. One agency, focused effort, aligned incentives. No more coordinating four agencies working the same candidates.

  • Contact After Acceptance

    Contact details are shared only after you accept a proposal. Until then, agencies can't call, email, or message you. The conversation starts when you decide it does.

  • Lower Fees, Higher Quality

    Agencies offer lower fees because exclusive searches convert at roughly 80%, versus 20% for contingency. That confidence is priced into every proposal, typically 20-30% instead of the 30-40% contingency fee that covers their losses.

Choose Agencies with Verified Track Records

Every rating comes from a company that completed a placement through the platform; there is no other way to get one. See how each agency performs on proposal adherence, placement success, and partnership quality before you accept. Ratings display once an agency reaches 3+ verified reviews.
