the person who owns this hire
Built for boutique firms
Big agencies have research teams. You have evenings.
ReadyReq does the research overnight, so every morning starts with calls worth making.
Buying lists that went cold months ago
Call companies hiring this week
Fresh signals from job boards, funding news, expansions and contract wins — found overnight, ranked by how badly each company needs help now.
Guessing who owns the hire
Reach the person who decides
The hiring manager comes first, not HR. You get the reason to call and a first message that quotes the real signal — ready to edit and send.
Wins that stall after the first call
Carry it all the way to paid
Follow-ups that come due on their own, one-tap call notes, placements and invoices with the tax suggested for you — one desk, start to finish.
How it works
From “who’s hiring?” to a paid invoice.
Leads are waiting in the morning
Describe your desk once. ReadyReq scans the live web once a day, starting between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC (6–7am in Alberta in summer, 5–6am in winter) — eight signal types, deduped against your whole book and your client list — and files fresh finds under New today.
A quiet night is reported as a quiet night — no padded lists, ever.
Every lead brings its proof
A source link, the date it was published and an honest confidence grade — checked against the source page, where it can be read, before a scan files the lead.
→ no call built on a rumour
Know who to call and what to say
One score sorts the list. The call card shows who owns the hire, why now, and a script built on the signal.
→ log the outcome in one tap
Place, invoice, get paid
Log the placement, create the invoice with tax suggested for the client’s province or state, and track it until it’s paid.
→ the whole desk in one place
Receipts, not guesses
Every lead comes with the proof to back the call.
When a hiring manager asks “how did you know?”, your recruiter has the answer on screen.
- ✓A source for every signal. Where it came from — linked whenever there is a page to open — with its date when the source gives one and a confidence grade. Nothing hidden.
- ✓Checked before it’s filed. Before a scan files a lead, ReadyReq re-reads the source page where it can; a detail the page doesn’t show is flagged and marked down.
- ✓One number sorts everything. Hover it, see the math. Every point on the score is itemized — no black box.
- ✓Cooling signals warn you off. When research finds a hiring freeze or fresh layoffs, the lead cools automatically — nobody dials blind.
SAMPLE DATA

MERIDIAN CARE GROUP — THE MATH ON THE NUMBER
Signals
Eight ways a company tells you it needs an agency — plus public staffing tenders.
Every signal names its source, linked whenever there is a page to open, so you can verify before you ever hit send.
Aging & reposted reqs
Roles open 30+ days or reposted again and again. In-house recruiting is stuck — this is your warmest door.
e.g. Sr. RN role, reposted 3rd time, 47 days open
Hiring velocity spikes
A burst of new postings in your niche — a team scaling faster than it can recruit.
e.g. 9 roles opened in 30 days
Funding rounds
Fresh capital almost always means a hiring plan. The window is 6-12 weeks after the round.
e.g. Series B closed
Expansion & new locations
New sites need local people — where the company has no network and you do.
e.g. new campus announced
Leadership changes
A new VP or department head usually rebuilds the team beneath them within two quarters.
e.g. new VP Operations
Talent-team departures
When the head of talent or the only in-house recruiter leaves, open reqs pile up fast.
e.g. Head of Talent departed
Contract & project wins
A won contract or tender the company now has to staff — billable people needed within weeks.
e.g. regional care contract won
Needs staff — on the public record
Employers approved to hire from abroad, and nursing homes' published staff turnover — read each day from open government data.
e.g. approved to hire 6 nurse aides from abroad
Staffing tenders
Public staffing and temporary-help tenders, each with a link to the notice when one is available — Canadian federal tenders (CanadaBuys) and US federal tenders (SAM.gov).
official procurement data
Built for the owner
From placement to paid. Nothing estimated.
Run the desk, not a spreadsheet — and see which calls turn into fees.
Your Day
Every morning, ranked biggest first — calls, follow-ups, overdue invoices — topped up to five with your best untouched leads, each with the action one tap away.
Call mode
The live card, the in-call question box and one-tap outcomes that set the next step for you.
The coach runs your playbook, not ours.
Paste your scripts and fees; the built-in coach answers your reps from your own material and shows what your playbook doesn’t cover yet.
Invoices done right
Tax suggested by the client’s province or state, amounts locked once issued, overdue tracking built in.
Works beside your ATS
Push leads and activity to Manatal today; your records stay where your team keeps them.
Email from your own inbox
Reps send from their own Gmail or Outlook, so replies land where they should.

Questions
What agency owners ask first.
Something else? Email hello@readyreq.com — a real person answers.
What is ReadyReq?
ReadyReq is a signal-based prospecting and pipeline tool for recruiting and staffing agencies. It finds companies showing hiring pressure right now — hiring sprees, reposted roles, fresh funding, expansions, new executives, contract wins — identifies who owns the hire, drafts outreach grounded in the specific signal, supports and logs the calls, and carries wins through placement, invoicing, and a per-rep funnel for the owner.
Who is it for?
Boutique recruiting and staffing agencies, and independent recruiters doing their own business development — the owner and a small team. ReadyReq is built to win clients for your desk, with a Find talent tab for the candidate side.
Does it help on the candidate side too?
Yes — the Find talent tab. It scans for layoffs, closures, restructurings and ended contracts in your territory that put people in your niche on the market, writes ready-made LinkedIn and Google searches for your recruiters to run, keeps the people they find on that signal with a drafted first message, shows who else is hiring for those roles on Indeed, and — when your agency's Manatal is connected — matches the role against people already in your own book and drafts a re-engagement message to copy. It works from companies' public news and your agency's own records, and it never automates LinkedIn.
Where do the signals come from?
Public sources searched live: job boards and career pages, funding announcements, press releases, company sites, and public procurement portals for staffing RFPs. Every signal names its source — a clickable link whenever there is a page to open — with its date when the source gives one and an honest confidence grade, so you can verify before reaching out.
What is Call Priority and how is the score calculated?
Call Priority is the 1-100 number that sorts every list. AI grades the strength of the evidence; plain code then adds facts the app can verify — you know someone at the company through your imported LinkedIn network, a role has been open too long, the evidence has gone stale, the hiring is only partly the kind of roles you fill — and every point is itemized when you hover the number. No black-box scoring.
Will ReadyReq send LinkedIn messages from my account?
No. It drafts LinkedIn notes and InMails for your reps to review and send themselves — it never logs into, automates, or touches anyone's LinkedIn account, so there is nothing to get an account flagged. Emails go out from the rep's own connected inbox, so replies land where they should.
Will it replace my ATS?
No — it sits beside it. ReadyReq handles finding and winning clients; your ATS keeps your candidates. Leads and logged activity push to Manatal today, so your records stay where your team keeps them.
How does a new agency get its playbook and fees into ReadyReq?
An admin pastes your sales process, scripts, and fee sheet in. From then on the built-in coach answers your reps' questions from your material — your fees, your objection handling, your rules — and shows an honest gap report listing what your playbook doesn't cover, rather than guessing. Most of the setup is an afternoon, not a quarter.
Where do the live posting counts and staffing RFPs come from?
Posting counts come from the company's own public job board — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or SmartRecruiters, or the Workday, Dayforce, Oracle, Taleo or iCIMS careers site its own website links — not a scraped estimate. Staffing and temporary-help RFPs come from official public procurement data — Canadian federal tenders (CanadaBuys) and US federal tenders (SAM.gov) — each with a link to the notice when one is available.
Is this kind of outreach compliant?
ReadyReq is built for relevant, one-to-one B2B outreach: every email carries a footer that identifies the sender and the agency's mailing address with a one-reply unsubscribe, opt-outs are honoured at once across the whole team, and you review everything before it goes anywhere. Rules differ by region (CASL in Canada, CAN-SPAM in the US) — this is product design, not legal advice.
What does it cost?
During the invite-only pilot it costs nothing. Pilot agencies hear about pricing first, and nothing is ever charged without your say-so.
How do I get access?
ReadyReq is invite-only during the pilot. If you have a code, open the app — an admin can switch the overnight scan on the same day, and it runs once a day, starting between 12:00 and 13:00 UTC (6–7am in Alberta in summer, 5–6am in winter). If you don't, hit Request an invite, tell us about your desk (territory, verticals, team size), and we'll be straight with you about timing. Or email hello@readyreq.com.
