The model

Branded as you. Operated by us.

Every account we deploy wears your firm's identity — name, photo, headline, positioning, tone of voice. To the prospect, it looks like a senior recruiter on your team. Behind it, an in-house setter from our side is doing the work.

A persona, not a stock profile

We build a senior-recruiter persona for your firm — name, photo, headline, "about" copy, banner. The prospect sees a credible team member, not a generic SDR.

Your voice. Our keyboard.

Our setters write every message live, using a tone-of-voice guide we calibrate with you. No AI auto-replies, no templates — and you can approve every reply if you want.

Your own accounts stay untouched

Because the persona lives on a separate account we operate, your team's real LinkedIn profiles carry zero restriction risk — no warm-up needed on your side, no risk to your network.

A real conversation

Not a bot. A setter who reads, replies, qualifies.

Every message is written by a real person on our team. They handle the back-and-forth, pull out the hiring need, and only book the meeting when the timing is right.

The problem

Your best recruiters are stuck doing business development.

Most tech recruitment agencies grow on referrals and the founder's network — until that runs dry. Winning new client companies another way means picking one of three bad options.

01

Hire a BD team in-house

Recruiting, onboarding, tooling, management. Six months before anyone books a meeting — if they stay.

$12–15k / month, all-in
02

Use a generic LinkedIn agency

They run outreach from your own accounts, with templated messaging and no understanding of how recruitment is sold.

Account ban risk · your profiles
03

Founders prospect after hours

The people who should be closing retainers and placing candidates spend their evenings building lists.

Your most expensive hours, wasted
Why now

The market got harder. The winners adapted.

AI changed how companies hire — inbound demand for recruiters has tightened. The firms still growing aren't waiting for referrals; they've built a way to reach clients directly.

Founders can't out-hustle this alone

The founder is still the best closer — but prospecting and follow-up eat the hours that should win and deliver placements.

Referrals alone no longer fill the pipeline

When demand tightens, word-of-mouth slows first. Firms with their own outbound engine keep booking meetings regardless of the cycle.

An outbound engine is a competitive edge

While competitors wait for the phone to ring, you're in front of hiring decision-makers every week. Consistent pipeline is what separates firms that grow from firms that stall.

How it works

Four steps. Then meetings.

1

We deploy LinkedIn accounts branded as your firm

We build a senior-recruiter persona for your agency — name, photo, headline, positioning, tone of voice. To the prospect, it looks like someone on your team. Your own profiles are never touched, zero restriction risk.

Built for tech recruitment

We understand how you win clients.

Occura works exclusively with tech recruitment and executive search agencies. We're not a generalist agency — every account, list and message is built around how your business actually sells.

Who we reach

VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Heads of Talent and founders at funded startups and scale-ups — the decision-makers who own the roles you fill.

What it's worth

One client pays for the year

A single new client company means multiple placements. At $25–80k per placement, your retainer is covered many times over.

Why Occura

The pipeline you need, without the trade-offs.

Hiring SDRs is slow and expensive. Generic agencies put your accounts at risk. Here is how Occura compares.

In-house SDRs
  • $12–15k / month, all-in
  • 3–6 months before productive
  • Runs on your team's accounts
  • You build the tooling stack
  • Recruiting & management on you
  • Visibility: internal only
Generic LinkedIn agencies
  • $0.4–8k / month
  • ~2 weeks to launch
  • Uses your own LinkedIn accounts
  • Templated, automated messaging
  • Some account management
  • Visibility: email reports only
Occura
  • $5k / month, scales with results
  • Live in 7 days
  • Dedicated accounts — zero risk to yours
  • In-house setters on every conversation
  • Zero management overhead
  • Real-time pipeline dashboard
Built on infrastructure

The technology behind every meeting.

We don't sell software. We sell outcomes — delivered by a tech-enabled operation that runs at a level no traditional agency can match.

Multi-account orchestration

We coordinate 2 to 15 dedicated LinkedIn accounts per client — no overlap, no spam patterns, no risk to your profiles. Built to scale your volume cleanly.

In-house setters, not bots

Every conversation is handled by a real person on our team. They read, reply, engage and qualify each prospect, then book the meeting — supported by a tech-enabled operation built for speed.

Real-time pipeline visibility

Log into your dashboard anytime — invitations sent, meetings booked, cost-per-meeting calculated live. Full visibility when you want it, zero obligation to check.

Automated by default

Stripe billing, weekly reporting, real-time notifications, calendar sync. You never chase us for a status — it's all there.

Process

Three months from setup to cruise speed.

We don't drop you into full volume on day one. The first three months are a deliberate build — foundation, ramp-up, then cruise.

1
Month 1 — Foundation

We build the groundwork

Account warm-up, ICP workshop and prospect list building. We A/B test messaging angles and prepare your first conversation hooks — value-led content that opens genuine discussions instead of cold pitches.

2–4 early meetings
2
Month 2 — Ramp-up

We accelerate the rhythm

Messaging is dialled in and sequences scale. Conversation hooks go live to lift reply quality, and the first qualified meetings start landing on your calendar.

6–10 qualified meetings
3
Month 3 — Cruise speed

We run at full pace

Full volume on what converts, with a predictable flow of qualified meetings. We review expansion options together.

10–15 qualified meetings

Quality over quantity — by design

Because real people on our team handle every conversation, we qualify hard before booking. We'd rather hand your team 10 meetings with companies ready to hire than 25 that waste their time. That's the whole point of in-house setters.

Evolution

From foundation to acceleration.

From month three onward, volume scales as fast as your delivery can keep up. Here's the trajectory.

Pricing

Everyone starts at $5k. Scaling comes with the results.

No one signs the top tier on day one. You begin with Calibration, we prove the model together, and the next tiers come naturally once the meetings justify them. Pricing follows performance — never the other way around.

Start here — every engagement begins at this tier

  • 4,800–6,400 outreach touches / month
  • Senior account director
  • Multi-market & multi-persona campaigns
  • Custom sequence strategy
Target: typically 30–45 meetings / month

Every tier includes onboarding, ICP workshop, profile setup and reporting. No setup fees, no hidden costs. You only move up when the numbers say so.

Low-risk by design

If month one underdelivers, calibration is extended free of charge.

Building an outbound engine takes a few weeks to tune. If the first month falls short of the agreed baseline, we extend the calibration phase at no extra cost until it's performing. You carry a 3-month commitment — we carry the risk of making it work.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Never. We operate our own dedicated, aged LinkedIn accounts calibrated to your ICP. Your profiles and your team's profiles are never touched — which means zero restriction risk for you.

Generic agencies run outreach from your accounts with templated, automated messaging. We operate dedicated accounts, and every conversation is handled by an in-house setter who genuinely reads, replies, qualifies and books — with a tech-enabled operation and a real-time dashboard behind them. We're an outbound engine run by people, not a templated service.

Month one is a calibration phase — account warm-up, list building, sequence tuning — so volume ramps progressively. Expect early meetings in month one, and cruise speed from month two onwards.

Onboarding, ICP workshop, account setup and warm-up, prospect list building, sequence development, full campaign operation, weekly reporting and dashboard access. For $15k total, you get the equivalent of two dedicated SDRs — with no recruitment or management overhead.

We commit to the volume and quality of qualified meetings, benchmarked per tier. Whether a meeting turns into a signed client depends on your team's pitch and delivery — so we report transparently on what we control and let you judge us on it.

Almost none. After a short onboarding to define your ICP, we handle everything — accounts, lists, messaging, conversations, qualification and booking. Meetings simply appear on your calendar. You can check your dashboard anytime, but you never have to.

Yes — that focus is the point. Because we work exclusively with tech recruitment and executive search agencies, our messaging, targeting and qualification are built around how you actually win clients. A generalist agency starts from scratch every time; we don't.

You can continue at the same tier or expand to a higher one for more volume. The roadmap and pricing for each tier are shared upfront — no surprises, no renegotiation.

Your next 30 qualified meetings are 7 days away.

We onboard a limited number of new clients each month to protect delivery quality. Book a 30-minute call to see if there's a fit.
