Poised.

Research

Cadence dies under live searches. The specialty was never the missing piece.

Unique fact: internal scan of 1625 recruiting desks in the operator queue (anonymized, not a public market study). As of 19 August 2026.

This is not a survey of the whole market. It is an anonymized count from the operator queue that already sits in the desk. Do not treat it as a TAM slide.

What the scan can say

The desks in this queue are 1–3 person specialty firms, not hospital TA ops. The pattern that repeats: the practice already has a niche, and the LinkedIn hour loses to a live req.

What the scan cannot say

Conversion rates, guaranteed pipeline, or how many recruiters use Taplio. Those numbers are not in this database.

What Poised is

LinkedIn personal branding for boutique recruiters. Official API, approve-then-publish, official API only, not an ATS. $299/month after a 20-minute intro. A human checks every draft. Nothing publishes until you approve..
