Free hiring tools, built for your job

Tell us about the job you are hiring for

Answer four quick questions, about a minute. We use them to fill in the free tools for that one job and place: what the work pays near you, where to find the people, who is laying off nearby, and what to do this week. A few tools ask one more thing, such as your job ad.

Four quick answers about the job, then three optional ones. It takes under a minute.

1
What industry do you hire in?
Pick the one closest to your business.
2
Choose the closest title. Sales, finance and HR roles are listed for every industry.

3
The 5 digit ZIP code of the worksite. We use it to find local pay.
4
What is going wrong with this hire?
Pick the one that hurts most. Your playbook is built around it.
5
What pay are you offering? Optional
Base pay only, before bonus. We show where it sits against local pay for this job.
6
We read your own careers page and show how your job ads stand: days open, pay shown, and how Google sees them.
7
Get every tool on one page, with longer lists, your outreach messages, interview kit and downloads. Add your name and your company website (question 6) with it. We email you one link to confirm it. No password.

Free, no email needed for the basics. Pay data comes from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nothing you enter here is shared outside SourceOwls.

Without an email: local pay, your playbook, the pay rule and the top 3 of each list. With your work email: 25 instead of 3 on most lists, your search strings, outreach messages, interview kit and downloads. Nothing on the desk costs money.
