Simple, transparent pricing

Here's how we differ from LinkedIn: (1) Direct, curated matching - Founders and recruiters reach out through our platform and schedule calls with you directly inside the system. (2) No resume loops as it's experience-first - Because our platform is built on trusted, high-signal profiles, most companies skip multi-stage interviews. You're typically moved forward based on interest and fit. (3) Streamlined onboarding - Once there's mutual interest, the company brings you into their process — whether that's as a co-founder, advisor, or early engineer. LinkedIn is about networking; we're about direct connections that lead to actual opportunities.

Unlike JuiceBox and other general tech recruiting platforms, ExFaangConnect is exclusively focused on verified ex-FAANG and FAANG-level talent. We're not an open marketplace - we're a curated network where every member has demonstrated excellence at top-tier companies. While other platforms focus on volume, we focus on signal: connecting founders with technical co-founders and CTOs, not just filling engineer roles. Our members aren't just looking for their next job - they're seeking equity opportunities, technical leadership positions, and the chance to build something meaningful from the ground up.

Unlike traditional recruiters who charge 20-30% of a hire's annual salary, we offer a predictable subscription model with unlimited hires, verified candidates, and specialized focus on ex-FAANG talent. Traditional recruiters often present unverified candidates and charge massive placement fees. We eliminate both problems with our verified network and transparent pricing.

FAANG companies represent the pinnacle of technical excellence and operational scale. Engineers who thrive at Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, and similar companies have proven they can handle massive scale, complex systems, and high-pressure environments. They bring battle-tested patterns, architectural thinking, and a culture of excellence that can transform your engineering organization. When you hire ex-FAANG talent, you're not just getting an engineer - you're getting someone who's already solved the problems you're about to face.

Our verification process is two-fold: first, we thoroughly verify employment history, role, and tenure at FAANG companies through documentation and professional references; second, we assess performance excellence through achievement verification and technical evaluations to ensure only high-performers join our network.

We currently have over 6,456 verified ex-FAANG professionals on our platform across various tech roles, levels, and specialties. Our network grows daily as we maintain strict quality standards while expanding our reach.

Our candidates see an average salary increase of 32% when changing roles through our platform, compared to their previous positions. This reflects both the quality of opportunities and the premium that companies pay for verified ex-FAANG talent.

Our proprietary AI agent revolutionizes candidate matching by understanding natural language job descriptions and company needs. Instead of rigid keyword matching like other platforms, our agent analyzes context, technical requirements, company culture, and role nuances to intelligently surface the most relevant candidates from our verified ex-FAANG pool. Simply describe what you're looking for in plain English—'I need a backend engineer who's scaled payment systems and can lead a team of 5'—and our agent identifies candidates with that exact experience. This eliminates the hours of manual filtering and ensures you only see candidates who truly match your specific needs.

Any company looking to hire elite tech talent can join our platform. We work with startups seeking technical co-founders, scale-ups building engineering teams, and established enterprises looking for senior technical leadership. Our focus is on companies that value proven excellence and are willing to compete for top-tier talent.

Intro requests are how you initiate contact with candidates. When you send an intro request, we notify the candidate about your interest, share your company profile, and facilitate the initial conversation if they're interested. This direct approach eliminates the back-and-forth of traditional recruiting and gets you in front of qualified candidates immediately.

Once you sign up, you'll have immediate access to our platform. Most recruiters send their first intro requests within 24 hours and have initial conversations with candidates within 3-5 days. The verification quality of our network means you can move faster with confidence.

The Starter plan includes 1 recruiter seat, Growth includes 5 seats, and Enterprise offers unlimited seats with custom pricing based on your team's size and needs. Additional seats can be added as your team grows.

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. We offer monthly and annual billing options with no long-term commitments. We're confident in our value proposition and don't believe in locking customers into contracts.
