Cherrypicker is an outbound recruiting platform built for hiring teams. We help you source candidates, find verified contact data, and run personalized outbound campaigns on your behalf that generate interest for your open roles.

When a candidate expresses interest, your team gets notified. You review their background, start the conversation, and move them into your interview process. No placement fees when you hire.

You tell us what role you need to fill: upload a job description or describe the requirements, compensation, and context.

Then you upload your target candidate list (LinkedIn profile URLs or a CSV) or request sourcing support from our team. Cherrypicker verifies contact data, creates personalized messaging, and runs the outbound campaign on your behalf.

Interested candidates respond, your team gets notified, and you take it from there. No middlemen, no placement fees, no waiting for applications to roll in.

Credits are the currency that powers every recruiting action on Cherrypicker. One credit recruits one candidate: we find their verified contact data, build a personalized outreach message, and run the outbound campaign with follow-ups.

Credits are valid for 12 months from the date they are issued, as long as your subscription is active, and are shared at the company level, so your whole team draws from the same pool and can apply credits to any role at any time.

If we are unable to find or enrich a candidate's LinkedIn profile, we will issue a full credit refund for that candidate. If we are unable to find verified contact data, we will provide a half credit refund per candidate.

Credits are not redeemable for cash but can be used to recruit for a different role at any time. To request a credit refund review, contact our support team at support@getcherrypicker.com.

Yes. Upload LinkedIn profile URLs or a CSV of target candidates and Cherrypicker handles the contact enrichment and outreach campaign for each one.

If you need help building your target list, you can request sourcing support from our team.

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your campaigns, candidate lists, and notes are private to your organization's account, and other companies cannot see your hiring activity.

We do not sell hiring data or candidate profiles to third parties.

Yes. Most teams share a Cherrypicker account so recruiters, hiring managers, and leadership can collaborate while drawing from the same credit pool.

Staffing agencies charge a placement fee, typically 20–30% of the candidate's first-year salary, every time they fill a role. On a $150,000 hire, that's $30,000–$45,000 per placement.

Cherrypicker charges a subscription plus usage credits, not a percentage of salary. We handle the outbound heavy lifting (sourcing, contact data, and outreach), while your team keeps full control: you run the interviews and make every hiring decision.

A single agency placement fee typically costs more than a full year of Cherrypicker.

Cherrypicker is completely free for candidates, always. There are no subscription fees, no setup costs, and no charges at any point in the process.

Hiring companies pay the platform fee. Candidates join the private talent network, set their preferences, and get matched with opportunities that fit, at zero cost.

No. Your profile is private by default and is never publicly listed or searchable. Your current employer cannot find your profile on Cherrypicker.

Only hiring teams who are actively sourcing for a role that matches your background will ever see your profile, and only when you've opted in to be discoverable for that type of opportunity. You control your visibility settings at all times and can pause or hide your profile instantly.

You join Cherrypicker's private talent network and tell us what you're looking for: the type of role, industry, location, salary expectations, and whether you're actively looking or just open to the right opportunity.

When a hiring company is sourcing for a role that matches your profile, they'll reach out directly. There's no mass job application process, no recruiter cold calls from agencies, and no public profile for anyone to stumble on.

You only hear from companies when there's a genuine fit, and you're always in control of whether to respond.

Yes. All personal data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell your information to third parties, recruiters, or job boards. Your profile is only shared with companies who are actively sourcing for a role that matches your background and only when you've opted in.

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your profile settings. We will permanently remove your information within 30 days of your deletion request.

Cherrypicker specializes in corporate, professional, and financial roles, not hourly or entry-level positions. Our network is strongest in Finance & Accounting, HR & People Operations, Legal & Compliance, Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Technology.

Hiring companies on the platform include PE-backed portfolio companies, mid-market firms, public accounting firms, consulting firms, law firms, financial services, and real estate companies. If you work in a corporate or professional function, you're in the right place.

No. Many of our members are passively open. They're not actively applying to jobs but would consider the right opportunity. You can set your status to "open to the right fit" and only hear from companies when there's a strong match.

In fact, some of the best career moves happen when you're not actively looking. Joining now means you're positioned to hear about opportunities before they ever get posted publicly.
