Recruiters reach out to you for roles.
But if you aren't looking, you often ignore them.
With Whispered, you can confidentially share roles to help other vetted executives — and benefit from this collaboration when you are looking for your next role.
How to respond to recruiters
If you are open to new opportunities, take the call but first make sure you understand how recruiters evaluate you.
If you aren’t open to new opportunities, we still suggest building a relationship with the recruiter. These calls can:
Frame you as an in-demand executive
Help recruiters understand what opportunities you would listen to
Help you understand the market

How to help others with insights from your call

Whispered helps executives collaborate on unposted roles. You can help us in two ways:
Share the role with Whispered: This information is treated confidentially and only shared with vetted executives like yourself. Share a role here or "Start Whispering about a role" on our site
Share Whispered with the recruiter: We collaborate with top recruiters and love to meet ones we don’t yet know. Feel free to introduce them to Andy, our founder, via email at andy@whispered.com
