The Process

How Relay works

Four steps. From open role to signed offer. AI does the heavy lifting, humans make the judgment calls, and you get candidates worth interviewing.

most teams hire in under 14 days
01

Tell us what you need

Describe the role. We handle the rest.

Share your job requirements, team culture, and must-haves. Relay’s AI breaks down 200+ signals from your brief — skills, seniority, work-style fit, growth trajectory — to build a precision matching profile in minutes, not days.

02

We find the perfect match

AI scans 85K+ profiles. Humans verify every one.

Our matching engine surfaces the top 2–3% of candidates for your role. Then experienced recruiters review each profile by hand — checking references, assessing culture fit, and confirming availability before anyone reaches your inbox.

03

Meet your candidates

A curated shortlist in 48 hours.

Receive a focused shortlist of 3–5 pre-vetted candidates with detailed match reports. Schedule interviews directly through Relay, with calendar sync and automated reminders built in. No back-and-forth emails.

04

Make the hire

Seamless onboarding. Guaranteed retention.

Once you’ve chosen your candidate, Relay handles offer coordination and onboarding logistics. Our 92% 12-month retention guarantee means if the hire doesn’t work out, we replace them free of charge.
