How lemonly works – the short answer

lemonly runs your search in four steps: a hiring brief captures the role's real requirements; lemonly's AI discovers and assesses 20,000+ candidates per role, including passive talent who would never see a job post; lemonly's recruiters interview the strongest candidates in human screening interviews; and the few worth meeting arrive as warm introductions with fit briefings. Pricing is a flat $8,000 per hire, due only when you place someone, backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.

First, lemonly learns

What you're actually looking for – not what the job description says. The problems they need to solve, the companies they might have worked for, the experience they might bring.

Job boards & recruiters rely on job descriptions, which describe the job – not the candidate.

Then, lemonly finds

lemonly evaluates 20,000+ candidates per role – orders of magnitude beyond what any recruiter's network or job ad could ever reach. Then lemonly finds the strongest matches for your requirements, and figures out the best way to excite them.

You just sit back & wait. No profile review, no sequence-building. lemonly does it all for you.

Next, lemonly meets

Of the 20,000+ reviewed candidates, the very best get a short interview – conducted by a human – to learn more about them, verify what we've learned, and confirm they're real. No AI resumes here.

A hiring process should just be a series of great conversations. lemonly cuts out all the noise.

Last, lemonly introduces

You receive a small number of pre-qualified, warmed-up candidates – each with a detailed briefing on who they are, why they're a fit, and what to explore in your first conversation.

Because you don't just need great candidates – you need great introductions too.
