Our Story

NextIn was founded in 2023 by a team of recruiting industry veterans who recognized a fundamental problem in executive hiring: the most qualified candidates were often missing opportunities because traditional job boards and recruiters weren't effectively connecting talent with companies.

We started with an exclusive agent model, working closely with select executives to actively market their profiles to companies seeking their specific skills and experience. After making successful placements and proving our approach worked, we're now launching this platform to expand our reach and help more executives and companies connect.

Our founding principle remains the same: flip the traditional hiring process on its head. Instead of forcing executives to spend countless hours searching and applying for positions, we proactively promote their profiles to organizations that value their unique talents and experience.

  • Recruiters serve as gatekeepers
  • Limited transparency in the process

NextIn Approach

  • AI-powered matching creates ideal connections
  • Hiring process reduced by up to 68%
  • Direct communication between parties
  • Complete visibility throughout the process

How We're Different

At NextIn, we've completely reimagined executive recruiting. While traditional platforms wait for professionals to apply to jobs, we proactively market exceptional talent to companies looking for leadership.

Our approach began with an exclusive agent model where we worked closely with a select group of executives. We personally promoted their profiles to companies seeking their specific expertise, creating successful placements that proved our concept works.

Now, we're bringing this innovative model to scale through our platform. We maintain our core principle of reversing the job search process, empowering executives with active profile marketing while giving companies access to pre-vetted leadership talent.

The result? Faster placements, better matches, and a transformative experience for both executives and companies.
