Alex, RecLabs' business development agent
The problem

Consultants miss 90% of the opportunities to connect with a decision maker.

A company raises money, hires a new sales director, or quietly posts five roles in your market. The hiring manager from two years ago moves companies and posts about a new launch. The recruiter misses all of it, because they're delivering.

Nobody can watch every target client and every hiring manager every day, which is where Alex comes in - she finds the reasons, the human wins the relationship.

What Alex does

Track decision makers, discover new leads and find better ways to engage

DISCOVERS INTENT SIGNALS

Spots companies about to hire

Live job posts in your market, new and senior hires, headcount growth and fundraising. Alex flags who is actively hiring and who is hiring selectively.

FINDS CONTACTS

Finds best way to reach out

Alex follows the hiring managers you care about and reads their posts. When one gives you a natural opening, she suggests how to engage: a like, a comment or a message.

BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS

Engagement on autopilot

Approve each action yourself, or let Alex queue it. Everything goes out from your own LinkedIn, in your own words, at a sensible pace.

How Alex works

Every decision maker, every company,
tracked for you.

Tells you who is hiring in your market

Alex pulls job posts, news and who's growing from 50+ different sources, public and proprietary to RecLabs.ai. She tells you if people are actively hiring right now, or would hire if the right person came along.

Finds the people who decide

Alex learns who your decision makers are, and finds their name, title, email address and number - she can even connect with them online, and reach out if you want her to.

What Alex watches

Signals from 50+ sources (public, private and proprietary)

Important hires

A new CEO, sales leader or head of talent usually brings change, and often a new set of suppliers.

Backfill

Someone senior leaves. The role behind them needs filling, often quickly.

Job posts

Only the roles that match what you recruit for, in the market you cover.

Raising & Acquisition

New money nearly always means new headcount in the following months.

Growth spikes

A sudden jump in headcount shows a team being built right now.

Transformation

New offices, new products or a restructure, each a reason for a conversation.

Track hiring signals with Alex

Alex finds the decision makers at each new employer and starts watching for hiring signals. If a contact moves to a new company, Alex lets you know and you can map out the new business or send to Lars, to start tracking the candidates.

FAQ

Common questions.

How does Alex know which companies to watch?

You give her the list. Paste a company's LinkedIn link on the dashboard, or tell her in Teams or Slack. You can sort companies into your own categories, such as end users and partners.

Does Alex message people without me checking?

Only if you want her to. By default you approve each like, comment or message first - and she learns over time to reduce the need for manual approval.

What is Lars? And do I need it?

Lars is the sister product to Alex. He works in a similar way but focuses on monitoring candidates and movability signals. Like a 360 recruiter, the two complement each other but can be used independently.

Do I have to be connected to someone on LinkedIn for Alex to watch them?

No. Alex can watch any company or person in your market. Messages to people you're not connected with come back to you to send yourself.

Do my consultants have to learn something new?

No. Treat Alex like a remote researcher you chat to on Teams/Slack. She keeps a dashboard up to date, but most of the time she'll message you what she finds.

Do my consultants need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription?

No, Alex works just like a remote employee you chat to on your messaging platform - no additional subscription needed.

What if two of my consultants message the same person?

Alex doesn't allow people to engage with the same decision maker, and businesses can decide if they want consultants monitoring/tracking the same company or individuals all together.
