Relationship intelligence for staffing and recruiting firms.
WarmPath is a relationship intelligence platform that turns a staffing or recruiting firm's existing relationships into warm introductions and next placements. Built for teams that already win on relationships, and need those paths visible across the whole firm.
Our mission
Recruiting firms' relationships are their most valuable asset. That asset is often invisible: trapped in ATS history, inboxes, LinkedIn, and the memory of individual recruiters. When a top seller leaves, part of the network walks out with them.
WarmPath makes those relationships visible, timely, and actionable. We help sellers expand inside accounts they already have, and land new logos through people the firm already knows.
What WarmPath does
Outcomes sellers care about. For the product flow, see How it works.
Expand inside accounts you already won
Surface warm paths to new buyers, departments, and hiring managers at logos where the firm already has proof of a relationship.
Land new logos through people you already know
Catch the moments that matter: a past buyer changes jobs, a placed candidate hits a referability window, or a signal shows a target is in market, with the warmest introducer attached.
Protect revenue that hangs on one relationship
Spot champion moves and thin multi-threading before the account goes quiet.
Route each play to the right seller
One firm network graph. Ranked paths. Context a human can act on. AI assists; humans send.
What makes WarmPath different
Supported differentiators only. Full comparisons live on the vs pages.
Built for staffing and search workflows
WarmPath is not a generic B2B relationship mapper bolted onto recruiting. It is designed around placements, recruiter desks, and the timing windows after a win.
Relationship layer, not a volume layer
Tools that amplify sourcing and outreach solve throughput. WarmPath answers a different question: who should ask whom, and why now, with enough evidence for the intro to happen. WarmPath vs Bullhorn Amplify frames Amplify as complementary, not a substitute.
Timing and evidence with the path
A connector alone is not enough if the ask window has passed or the target is not worth reaching. WarmPath pairs path warmth with why-now context. Horizontal relationship tools in the category (for example The Swarm, Draftboard, Getro) map connections; WarmPath owns the staffing-specific version of that job.
Firm asset, not desk asset
Paths are pooled across the firm so the right introducer can be found even when they sit on another desk.
Who uses WarmPath
Staffing and recruiting firms with roughly 10 to 5,000 sales and recruitment staff, where warm introductions already win deals but are hard to find systematically across desks.
Typical champions are Owners, COOs, VPs of sales or recruiting, and senior leaders who know relationships drive revenue and want that network treated as a firm asset.
WarmPath is built for placement-led staffing and search teams first. Broader B2B sales use cases are not the focus of this page.
Team and origin
Evan O'Connor, Co-Founder
Co-founder leading go-to-market. Built and sold Onboarding365 to Bullhorn (2018). Later led sales at IntelAgree, a contract-AI company, where warm-introduction prospecting became core GTM practice. Full-time on WarmPath after leaving IntelAgree in 2026.
Why WarmPath exists
After Onboarding365, conversations with recruiting firm owners kept landing on the same gap:
A great placement closes. The client is happy. The candidate is happy. Then the firm moves on. Months later someone realizes that person knew hiring managers the firm was already trying to reach, and the ask feels awkward.
The blocker is usually not willingness. It is timing and friction:
- Recruiters miss the post-placement window when asking is natural
- When they remember, they do not know who that person can introduce
- Even with a name, there is little proof the target is hiring now
- Manual digging means most potential asks never happen
WarmPath is the product built to close that gap for staffing and recruiting teams.

FAQ
What is WarmPath?
WarmPath is relationship intelligence for staffing and recruiting firms. It builds a firm network graph from the relationships already inside the business, watches for moments worth acting on, and routes each play to the right seller with the warmest path in.
Who is WarmPath for?
Staffing and recruiting firms with roughly 10 to 5,000 sales and recruitment staff. If warm introductions already win deals at your firm, but you cannot find them systematically across desks, you are in the ICP.
How is WarmPath different from Bullhorn Amplify or LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Amplify and similar volume tools help teams move faster through more candidates. Sales Navigator shows a user's own network. WarmPath focuses on who the firm already knows, which path is warmest, and why now is the moment to ask. See the vs Bullhorn Amplify page for the complementary framing.
Does WarmPath replace our ATS?
No. WarmPath sits next to your ATS and uses relationship history the ATS was not designed to organize for warm introductions. Your ATS remains the system of record for jobs, candidates, and placements. Details on How it works.
