What a reverse recruiter actually does
A traditional recruiter works for the employer and is paid to fill a role. A reverse recruiter works for you: the focus is finding roles that suit you, not filling one company's vacancy.
PBridge works on your side in California. We search across job boards and company career pages, tailor your resume for each role, and apply to the ones you approve. Employers hire you directly.
On your side
We are not paid by employers, so the only goal is roles that fit you.
Wider than one agency
We search across major job boards, applicant tracking systems and company career pages.
You stay in control
Nothing is sent without your approval.

Reverse recruiter and staffing firms
A reverse recruiter is not a staffing agency
In the US, staffing agencies and contingency recruiters are paid by the employer, usually when a placement is made. They work the openings they are hired to fill.
A reverse recruiter is hired by the candidate. With PBridge that means a fixed plan, a weekly list of roles matched to you, and applications sent only to the ones you approve. We take no share of your salary.
A fixed plan
You know the scope and the price before you start. No percentage of your first-year pay.
The whole market
Company career sites on Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and iCIMS, as well as the major job boards.
Matched to your authorization
Roles you cannot legally take are left off your list.
How it works
You approve. We apply. Every week.
How our reverse recruiter works in California
Nothing is sent without your approval, and every application is tracked with proof. This is the difference between PBridge and auto-apply tools that fire your resume at everything.
01 · Onboard once

03 · We tailor and submit

04 · You see the proof
Each submission is logged on your dashboard with a confirmation. Replies and interview requests reach you directly.

What applies across the United States
California is the largest state job market in the US and the most competitive: software and hardware companies across Silicon Valley and San Francisco, biotech in South San Francisco and San Diego, entertainment and media in Los Angeles, and large healthcare, aerospace and public-sector employers statewide.
Applicant volumes for well-known employers are enormous, so applications have to be fast and precisely matched. We source across the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego, tailor a US-format resume to each posting and apply to the roles you approve.

Questions
Before you start
Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.
Is a reverse recruiter the same as a staffing agency?
No. A staffing agency is paid by employers to fill their openings. A reverse recruiter is hired by you and works across the whole market.
Do you take a percentage of my salary?
No. You pay for a fixed plan. We take nothing from your salary and no fee from employers.
How is this different from a recruitment agency?
Agencies work for employers and only put you forward for their own vacancies. We work for you across the whole market.
Do employers pay you?
No. We do not take fees from employers or a share of your salary.
Do you only apply in California?
No. We cover San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego and the rest of California, and you can add any other location in the United States or abroad to your targets at any time.
Do you apply to roles that need US work authorisation?
We filter by the authorisation you tell us you have. If you need sponsorship, we prioritise employers known to sponsor, but sponsorship is always the employer's decision.
Will you write a US-style resume?
Yes. One to two pages, no photo or personal details, and tailored to each posting.
Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?
Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
Ready to stop applying and start interviewing?
