Signals

An open role is a buying signal.

A Play finds leads eight ways. These four signals matter most to recruiters.

Control

You choose who hears from you.

Pancake contacts only the leads you approve and add to a sequence. Nothing goes out for 10 minutes, so you can undo.

  • Under your name

    Every message goes out as you, in your voice.

  • No pitch up front

    The first touch never sells.

  • Weekdays, business hours

    Pancake sends Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, in your time zone.

FAQ

Questions recruiters ask.

Will I get other agencies’ job posts?

No. The hiring signal skips jobs posted by agencies, so every company is the employer itself.

Can Pancake find candidates too?

No. Pancake finds clients: the people who buy your service, not the people you place.

Does it plug into my ATS?

No. There’s no ATS connection and no export. You review and approve leads in Pancake or Slack.

Can I run two desks, like tech and finance?

Yes. Give each desk its own Play, with its own targeting, messages and sending accounts, in one workspace on one plan. One sending account is included, and each extra one is $39 a month.

What does Pancake send?

Up to three short messages under your name, after a light warm-up. No emails, no calls.

What do I approve?

Every lead. Pancake contacts only leads you approve and add to a sequence, and you get 10 minutes to undo.

Can I read the messages before they send?

Yes. Each lead gets personal messages in your voice. Read and edit any of them before it goes out, or let them send as written. A reply stops the sequence.

How many leads will I get?

About 120 to 600 qualified leads a month on 60,000 credits, more on a higher level. Each one is matched to your ICP by your Brain. It is an estimate: a narrow audience costs more, and Pancake shows the real one before a search runs.

What does it cost?

From $99 a month per workspace, with 60,000 credits and unlimited seats. The 7-day free trial comes with 15,000 credits and needs a card.
