Senior operators and executives lose over 15 hours each week sifting through unstructured job boards, formatting tailored dossiers, and tracking opaque hiring pipelines.

Kestrel transforms executive job searching into an automated talent command center. The system scans private and public portals, grades listings against personalized governance and compensation rubrics, and generates tailored executive dossiers for high-yield applications. By orchestrating continuous outreach and application tracking in one unified interface, candidates secure high-stakes offers in half the time.

Kestrel is capturing the high-intent executive transition market to build the operating system for modern talent mobility.

Problem
  • When I enter the executive job market, I want to filter listings by calibrated compensation and leadership scope, but I waste 15 hours weekly reviewing irrelevant roles that do not match my seniority.
  • Why Now: The proliferation of automated recruitment filters and fractional leadership roles makes high-signal, rubric-driven application tailoring mandatory to secure interviews.
  • When I discover target leadership openings, I want to generate role-aligned executive dossiers instantly, but manual CV reformatting consumes 4 hours per submission and delays critical first-mover advantage.
  • When I submit multiple leadership applications, I want to track interview progression and recruiter follow-ups seamlessly, but disparate spreadsheets cause missed deadlines and lost opportunities.
  • Existing Alternatives: Legacy job boards, generic career coach retainers costing $5k+, and manual spreadsheet trackers.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Command center for senior talent search and programmatic application pipelines.
  • Automated portal scraping with custom A-to-F evaluation rubrics yielding 1.0 to 5.0 fit scores.
  • Bespoke executive dossier generator that tailors career highlights to specific board and ATS criteria.
  • Real-time pipeline orchestration dashboard with automated recruiter follow-up workflows and interview trackers.
Distribution
  • Senior tech directors, VPs, and fractional executives actively transitioning roles within premium talent networks.
  • Direct partnerships with alumni networks of top-tier accelerators and boutique executive outplacement firms.
  • Targeted thought-leadership distribution via executive talent newsletters and private operator communities.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: 14-day trial at $0
  • Pro Searcher at $79 per month
  • Executive Retainer Suite at $249 per month.
  • One Metric That Matters: Qualified interview conversion rate per tailored application submission.
  • Market Sizing: SAM of 650k transitioning senior operators in North America and Europe; capturing 0.5% (3.25k subscribers at $1.5k annual LTV) generates $4.8M Year 1 ARR.
Scale Costs
  • Real-time job portal scraping proxies and resilient browser automation infrastructure.
  • Fine-tuned domain rubric models and contextual career embedding databases.
