JDs describe the role. Not success in it.

We start by understanding what makes you and the candidate successful in this role. Our proprietary JD elaboration engages your hiring managers and leaders to capture what matters most.

Success discovery
What "success in this role" looks like for you and for the candidate. Surfaced upfront, not three interview rounds in.
Gap analysis
What the role is missing today. What the new hire needs to bridge. Beyond the skills listed in the JD.
Domain understanding
The context the role lives in: stakeholders, constraints, decisions, the real success metrics behind the title.

Result: a big chunk of interview work moves to the front of the funnel. Your panel only has meaningful conversations. This kind of success discovery, gap analysis, and domain understanding isn't something an in-house TA can run across every role.

We don't just interview. We analyze every signal.

Six evaluation signals per candidate, scored against your success criteria. Captured and shared in your hiring manager portal.

Signals we analyze

Resume Screening responses Role-specific tests Phone Calls Behavioral patterns AI interview

What it gets you

Higher hire quality
Behavior, motivation, and work-style fit caught at intake. The signals that predict success on the job, not just what passes the resume scan.
Less panel waste
Your panel only meets candidates who already passed every signal. AI-generated answers caught and scored down. Each interview round counts.
Live visibility
Every interaction, score, and note in one hiring manager portal. Your HMs see exactly why each candidate is in front of them.

Multi-signal scoring needs a framework. Capturing it needs infrastructure. Sharing it needs a portal. No in-house TA hire has any of these.

Gateway · 3 of 5

We record every rejection. And continuously recalibrate.

Every reject or select decision tightens how we screen the next batch.

01
Record
Every reject and select feedback, captured against the candidate.
→
02
Aggregate
Decisions combined across the role, the panel, and across hires.
→
03
Recalibrate
Screening rules, evaluation criteria, and scoring parameters revised.

What it gets you

Your judgment scaled
Interviewer judgment isn't wasted. Every reject decision becomes a screening rule applied to the next batch, and every batch after.
Quality compounds
Throughput and relevance improve continuously, especially on repeat-hire roles where the system has more feedback to learn from.
Mistakes don't repeat
Wrong-fit patterns stop coming back. Sources that send mismatched candidates get deprioritized.

Internal TAs struggle to keep up. They can't formally aggregate feedback and recalibrate scoring at this rate.

Gateway · 4 of 5

A custom tracking channel for every source.

We create a dedicated channel for each recruiter, agency, job board, referral source, and social platform you use. Each gets its own tracked link, attribution, and duplication check at the job level.

Custom channels for

Recruiters Agencies Job boards Referrals Social

What it gets you

Channel-level truth
Within a month, you know which agency converts, which board wastes spend, which recruiter actually performs. No more guessing.
Cleaner funnels
Duplication checks at the job level. No double-counting when an agency and a recruiter submit the same candidate.
Spend optimization
Double down on what works. Cut what doesn't. Every channel is accountable on its own metrics.

Coming soon Algorithmic channel scoring, computed from attribution data.

TAs juggle channels in spreadsheets. No unified attribution, no fair comparison. The picture stays muddy.

Gateway · 5 of 5

They sign. They start. They ramp.

Three post-selection outcomes most hiring forgets to filter for. We screen for all three upstream, before any offer goes out.

What it gets you

Joining certainty
In typical hiring, 1 in 3 selected candidates ghost at offer. We filter bulk-appliers, offer-shoppers, exploring candidates, and the unserious through front-loaded effort they self-select against.
30-day availability
We source from pools that can actually start within 30 days, not aspirational timelines. No "I might be free next quarter."
Day-one productivity
Candidates already operationally aligned to your team before signing. Contribution from day one, not after a 90-day learning curve.

Front-loading effort needs scale. Screening for actual availability and strategic alignment needs operational context. TAs have neither at this rate.

Sourcing · 1 of 2

Our AI builds a tiered search framework. For every role.

Must-haves, important keywords by category, good-to-haves, and transferable titles. Recruiters execute the hunt with this map, not without one.

Each search framework includes

Must-haves Important keywords Good-to-haves Transferable titles

What it gets you

Wider reach
Transferable titles surface candidates other recruiters miss because they search only the exact role title.
Right priorities
Keywords ranked by must-have, important, and good-to-have. Recruiters know what to weight, not just what to type.
No agency lag
Agencies disengage when results stall, then put a new recruiter on the role to make up time. Quality drops, time-to-fill stretches. We don't outsource sourcing, so neither happens.

TAs and most agencies search exact JD titles on candidate databases and job boards. No tiered prioritization, no transferable role mapping. 90% of TA pipeline comes from agency submissions.

Sourcing · 2 of 2

Sourcing brings them in. Screening filters them out.

Every sourced candidate runs through 10+ automated checks at intake.

Checks per candidate

Resume Resume dedup CTC Experience Location Education College Tier Custom Exclusions Screener

What it gets you

Persona match enforced
CTC, experience, and target-persona checks at intake. Candidates outside the band filtered out automatically, not flagged for later review.
Custom criteria captured
Your exclusion rules and role-specific screening questions baked in upfront. Anyone failing your criteria never reaches you.
No duplicates, no gaps
Email and resume dedup, profile validation, completeness checks. Bad data and repeat candidates never enter your funnel.

Manual screening at this depth doesn't scale. TAs miss candidates outside narrow keyword filters and let unfit ones through on volume.

Side by side, the math is simple.

In-house TA hire
  • 3–4 JDs handled per month
  • Manual screening, up to 100 candidates/month
  • ~90% pipeline sourced via agencies
  • ₹1.2–1.7L cost + 8–12% agency contingency
  • Employment overhead, ramp, attrition risk
Continuity1 Gateway
  • Up to 6 active JDs per Gateway unit
  • Up to 250 candidate profiles processed/month
  • Owned funnel: Sourcer or your own agencies
  • Starting at ₹40,000/mo, plus sourcer costs, no contingency fees
  • Service, not salary. Scale up or down.

With Sourcer units added, you replace 8–12% agency contingency entirely. The fee savings typically exceed the cost of the engagement.

Why this is your best HRBP partner.

Hiring stays close to the team that needs it.

Today
  • Every team queues on one stretched TA
  • HRBPs raise reqs and chase recruiters
  • Quality varies by which TA caught the role
  • HR Head can't see hiring health by team
  • Add capacity = hire another TA (slow)
With Gateway hiring pods
  • Each HRBP cluster has its own pod
  • HRBPs own hiring outcomes per cluster
  • Same rigor on every pod, every batch
  • Hiring health visible for every team
  • Add capacity = add Gateway or Sourcer units (instant)

HR stops being the queue. HRBPs become hiring partners. HR Head finally has the picture.
