Wayne Zhou • Kat Kingshott • Marco Navarro • Neil Patel • Jeffrey Li • Sam Bracey • George Valentine • Tilly Dack • Jev Wray • Louise Ogilvy

🔥 What’s Inside

1. Paraform’s Origin, Pain Points & Breakthroughs
Wayne and Kat share how Paraform evolved from a basic referral tool into a high-growth recruiter marketplace — built through honest feedback, failed experiments, and learning from early mistakes.

2. When Recruiters Build Agencies Through Marketplaces
Marco & Neil of Inkorp reveal how they went from skepticism → first 3 placements → scaling to a four-person team in under a year thanks to volume, speed and Paraform support.

3. AI Matching, Talent Routing & Future Vision
Paraform CTO Jeffrey Li breaks down:
why almost half of hires now involve Paraform AI
how candidates can be cross-matched to multiple companies
the shift from quantity to quality-first recruiting
building an ATS-grade experience directly into the marketplace

4. Real Recruiter Stories: The Earnings, Challenges & Wins
Oakland Search discuss the learning curve for UK recruiters entering US markets and how Paraform accelerates junior development.
Louise Ogilvy shares why she left the platform years ago — then returned to bill ~$480k, with 60% coming from Paraform.
Jev Wray explains why he calls Paraform “a rocket ship” after billing 300k+ as a solo.

5. Incentives, Exclusive Quality & The Debate Over Growth
Nitin and Bobby dig into:
why Paraform pays for interviews, declines, and activity bonuses
how performance tiers like Preferred Status change earnings
whether the platform can stay exclusive as demand grows
the fear of the “holiday cottage effect” — when everyone finds out about something great

6. Candidate Experience & What Recruiters Want Fixed
“If Domino’s can tell me where my pizza is, why can’t an ATS tell a candidate where their application is?”
A deeper conversation follows about transparency, hiring-manager responsiveness, and why candidate journey must improve across all HR tech.
