The hidden 70%

Most senior roles are filled before they're ever advertised.

Industry research consistently shows 65–75% of executive positions are filled through internal promotion, networks, or retained search — never reaching a job board. By the time a JD is public, the brief is six weeks old and three agencies are already shortlisting.

HushHiring watches the signals that precede a posting: the £40M Series B that closed yesterday, the new CTO who started on Monday, the local-authority contract awarded last Friday. Every one of those is a backfill team waiting to be filled.

How it works

From a public-domain whisper to a placed candidate.

Every step is automated except the one that matters most — the call you make first.

  1. 01Sources

    Aggregate the signal

    A curated set of UK national, regional and sector-trade business sources, scanned every six hours. Funding rounds, leadership appointments, contract wins, expansions and launches — across every sector, classified automatically.

  2. 02Scoring

    Score the intent

    Each signal is weighted by trigger-class strength (a Series B outranks a seed round) and decayed by recency, so the freshest, highest-intent events rise to the top of your desk.

  3. 03Filters

    Filter to your desk

    Every signal, every city, every sector — included by default. Set filters for sectors or cities to get a focused morning briefing.

  4. 04Roles

    Know who to call

    Each signal maps its trigger to the senior roles it typically opens — the Head of Engineering a Series A needs, the VP Sales a Series B opens — so you know the brief before the JD exists.

  5. 05Timing

    Outreach while it's fresh

    The signal is your opener: reach out referencing the funding, the appointment, the contract win days after it's public — weeks before the role is posted and every other recruiter arrives.

Your 7am email

The whole edge, before your first coffee.

No dashboard to keep open, no tab to refresh. A scored briefing lands in your inbox every morning — this is what one looks like, built from today's live signals.

FAQ

The questions retained desks actually ask.

How is this different from LinkedIn Sales Navigator or job-board scraping?

Sales Nav and job boards show you what is already public. HushHiring surfaces the precursor signals — the funding announcement that closed yesterday, the director appointed last week, the contract awarded on Monday. These predict a hiring need 4-8 weeks before any role is posted, and your competitors don't see them.

Where does the data come from? Is it legal?

From public and licensed UK sources — national, regional and sector-trade business press, funding databases, and official public filings. No scraping of LinkedIn or paywalled content, and fully UK GDPR compliant.

Will it find roles in my sector?

HushHiring is sector-agnostic — it watches funding, leadership moves, contract wins and expansions across UK business: technology, financial and professional services, legal, life sciences, healthcare, construction and engineering, industrials and more. Set your sectors and the morning digest narrows to yours. If a niche is thin, tell us and we add sources.

How fast does a signal reach me?

The pipeline refreshes every six hours, and a scored digest reaches your inbox each morning at 7am — typically before other recruiters have noticed the public event.

Companies already pay me £15k per placement — why do I need this?

That fee is your competitive moat, but only when you reach the client first. The recruiter who calls the day after a funding round closes — before the hiring manager has even briefed their usual agencies — wins the exclusive brief. HushHiring doesn't replace your network; it tells you where to point it, weeks before anyone else.
