From search to signed contract, without the recruiter back-and-forth
RighTap connects you directly to pre-vetted talent. Here's exactly what happens at each step, for both sides of the marketplace.
For clients
Search the bench
Filter by skill, city, experience, and budget. Every result shows a tier badge — Bronze, Silver, or Gold — up front.
Book to unlock
Pay a one-time booking fee to unlock full contact details for up to 3 matching candidates. No recruiter middleman.
Interview directly
Message and interview candidates yourself. We stay out of the way once you're talking.
Choose your engagement
Hire monthly on contract, convert to full-time later with a buyout, or go straight to direct placement.
We handle the paperwork
Contract, invoicing, and candidate payouts run through RighTap so you don't have to set up a new vendor relationship.

Questions
How fast can I actually hire someone?+
Most clients unlock a candidate and schedule an interview the same day. If you're moving to a contract, we can typically get a signed agreement in place within 2-3 business days.
What happens if it doesn't work out?+
You can end a monthly contract with notice per the terms in your agreement — there's no long-term lock-in on contract engagements.
Do I deal with the candidate's payroll and taxes?+
No. RighTap handles the contract, invoicing, and candidate payouts, so you get one predictable monthly invoice.
