For recruitment teams

Recruit where the growth is

Fees follow expansion. KnowFirst shows you which businesses are growing - news mentions, website updates, company changes and job ads on every profile - then puts the people inside them one unlock away, with current and previous roles for real employment history. Searching is free.

Growth first

Growing companies hire, and they need help hiring

The businesses worth a call this quarter are the ones changing this quarter. Every KnowFirst profile carries a feed of recent changes - news mentions, website updates, company changes - alongside a Jobs view, so expansion shows up on your screen before it shows up in the news you already read.

The same growth list works both sides of the desk: candidate-rich companies for your shortlists, and ambitious companies that need your help finding people. Person search then takes you inside, by title, seniority and employer.

  • Find the growers. Filter by industry (ANZSIC), state or postcode with a radius, and staff bands, then read the feed on every business that makes the cut.
  • Real employment history. Every person profile shows the current role plus previous roles - context a keyword search cannot give you.
  • Contacts that stick. Unlock verified phone and email once per record; the reveal is remembered across your searches, lists and profiles.
  • Meeting-ready maps. Eighteen views per business, from key people and reviews to contracts and trademarks.

Follow the growth

The feed and job ads on every business profile, so you call the companies adding people, not the ones standing still. The same feed tells you when a client's market is shifting under them.

Source with history

Find people by title, seniority and employer. The current role plus previous roles gives you the real arc of a career, and verified phone and email are one unlock away - once per record.
