KORUM connects funded startup teams with senior tech professionals who are open to opportunities — but cannot be seen to be looking. Confidentiality is the product, not a feature.

Built for both sides
For candidates
Explore without exposure.
You are discoverable. Your identity is not. Choose between two visibility modes — Active, where your name and employer are visible, or Confidential, where you appear as a deterministic alias with employer and location masked. Your contact details are always protected.
- —Identity stays masked until you choose otherwise
- —Separate alias per recruiter — cross-pollination is impossible
- —One platform cannot leak what you tell another
- —Confidentiality enforced in code, not policy
For recruiters
Access the talent pool LinkedIn cannot reach.
Senior engineers, PMs, and designers who are passively open but not actively posting. A subscription seat unlocks discounted credit rates and a searchable pool of vetted, mid-to-senior profiles you cannot find elsewhere.
- —Verified work emails — no anonymous accounts
- —Credit-based model: you pay only when you connect
- —Each conversation is isolated — no data bleed between companies
- —Recruiter approval gate maintains pool quality
How it works
01
Discover
Browse masked profiles by role, seniority, and skill. No names, no employers — just signal.
02
Request
Spend credits to initiate a conversation. The candidate sees the request; nothing is shared without their acceptance.
03
Connect
On acceptance, both parties gain a controlled channel. Identity is revealed only at the moment the candidate chooses.
04
Hired
Close the role. Unused credits on declined conversations are automatically refunded.
Confidentiality engine
Two modes.
One guarantee.
Every candidate controls their own surface area. Confidentiality is not a toggle — it is an architecture. What you reveal to one company can never surface in another's view.
Real name and current employer visible. Contact details always masked. For professionals comfortable being identified.
Deterministic alias per recruiter. Employer hidden. Location generalised. Maximum protection for career-sensitive explorers.
Pricing
SEAT SUBSCRIPTION
Monthly seat
A seat subscription unlocks access to the full candidate pool and discounted credit rates for your team.
Pricing available on request.
CREDITS
Pay for connections, not headcount.
Credits are consumed to initiate a conversation. Declined or expired conversations return unspent credits automatically.
Active candidate
2 credits
Name and employer already visible
Confidential candidate
5 credits
Higher cost reflects deeper privacy commitment
Principles
Confidentiality as a right
Candidates control what is disclosed and to whom. Granular, not binary.
Trust through architecture
Privacy guarantees are enforced in code. Not in a privacy policy. Not in promises.
Access over network
Great talent gets found on merit and availability, not proximity to a recruiter's existing network.
Integrity in every transaction
Credits, conversations, and disclosures are governed by auditable, server-authoritative rules.
