Built by Recruiting Veterans
We've lived this problem. Now we're solving it.
Our Mission
We believe staffing firms' relationships are their most valuable asset. But that asset is invisible-hidden across disconnected networks, forgotten in the rush to close deals, and lost when key recruiters leave.
WarmPath makes relationships visible, timely, and actionable. We're building the intelligence layer that turns every placement into 3-5 more opportunities.

The Story Behind WarmPath
After building and selling estaff365 to Bullhorn, Evan spent years talking to staffing firm owners. The same frustration came up again and again:
"We make a great placement. The client is thrilled. The candidate is happy. Then... nothing. We move on to the next deal. Six months later, we realize that candidate knew three other hiring managers we were trying to reach-but by then, it's awkward to ask."
The problem wasn't willingness to refer. Research shows 83% of people are happy to make introductions. The problem was timing and friction:
- Recruiters forget to ask during the honeymoon period (Day 30-90)
- When they remember, they don't know WHO the person knows
- Even if they ask, there's no proof the referral target is hiring
- The manual effort required means only 29% of potential referrals actually happen
WarmPath solves all of this. We combine timing intelligence (knowing WHEN to ask), network mapping (knowing WHO they know), and intent signals (proof they're in-market) into one platform that makes asking for referrals effortless.
We're launching March 2026 with 40+ design partners. This is the product we wish had existed when we were building estaff365.
