Analytics

The managed-search funnel, end to end — sourced → hired. We optimize for interviews per application, never vanity volume. Your strategist prepares the work, reviews, decides, and sends every consequential step.

Volume is a means, not the goal. We could submit 3× more applications tomorrow — we don't, because more low-fit, bot-submitted apps lower this number. A human submitting fewer, better-fit applications is the strategy.

Human-in-the-loop

Strategist-prepared step Strategist reviews, decides & sends Step-to-step conversion

Each bar is scaled to the top of the funnel. Purple stages — submit, outreach, the referral ask — are never auto-sent: your strategist drafts, reviews and authorizes the send. That's what keeps applications human-submitted and outreach out of the spam folder.

Interviews per application

Our core efficiency metric · weekly

15.3interviews per 100 applications · 12-wk avg 13.8

Climbing because targeting got tighter and a human is the one deciding what to submit — not because we sent more. Fewer, better applications.

Plan mix

284 active members · by MRR

Concierge (full managed search) is the majority of revenue. Higher tiers carry a lower members-per-strategist ratio by design — more human time, never less.

Cohort retention

% of joiners still active, by signup month

M3 retention 71%

Cohort	Size	M0	M1	M2	M3	M4	M5

<60% 60–75% 75–88% >88%

Members typically wind down once they're hired — so healthy retention here is a couple of months of active search, then a successful exit. Newer cohorts (lighter rows) hold better as onboarding and the strategist drafting layer matured.

Interviews vs. applications

Weekly · interviews-first, not volume-first

Applications submitted (human-authorized) Interviews booked

Applications stay flat-to-down while interviews rise — the gap closing is exactly the efficiency we're optimizing for.

What the data says

Auto-flagged · human-reviewed

Interviews/100 apps up to 15.3 from 12.9 last quarter — driven by tighter targeting, not more volume.

core metric · +18.6%

Referral-sourced interviews convert 2.1× better than cold applications. A human making the ask is the lever.

channel mix · the side door works

Outreach reply rate dipped to 18% on Concierge — flagged for a strategist to refresh the human-sent opener, not to blast more.

watch · −3pt WoW

M3 retention steady at 71%; most churn is members who got hired — a good exit, not a loss.

cohort health · successful exits

Honesty guardrails. These dashboards measure a human-led service. Your strategist is a real person you can name, no outcome is guaranteed, and every step is disclosed. We report interview rates, never promises. The member is the client — never the product.
