Best way to monetize warm hiring leads from SEA founders?
Hey everyone — I run a private founder community.
We recently asked founders if they’re hiring right now, and collected 40+ warm hiring leads. They shared the open role, salary range, sector, company stage/revenue, email/phone, and agreed to be introduced to someone who can help.
We may be able to generate 100–150 of these per month.
Trying to decide the best model:
- Sell leads to recruitment agencies
- Partner with solo recruiters and split placement revenue
- Hire a recruiter and build our own small recruitment agency
For recruiters / agency owners:
- What close rate would you expect from warm hiring leads?
- Do agencies pay per qualified lead, or only on success?
- How many leads usually turn into 1 placement?
- What success fee is realistic in Malaysia / SEA?
Also open to JV or collabs with recruiters experienced in SEA placements.
