From signal to placement.

Candidate intelligence that goes beyond LinkedIn Recruiter and your proprietary database. Departure signals, warm paths, and the context that makes the first call land.

01

Detect

Spot departure signals before they surface. PE acquisitions, board turnover, project completions, organizational shifts that signal a candidate is ready to move.

02

Qualify

Understand the full picture. Career trajectory, board seats, institutional ties, family context. Know who fits the mandate before the first call.

03

Reach

Find the warm path. Your partners' board connections, alumni overlap, former colleagues. Make the introduction feel natural, not cold.

DATA & PRIVACY

How Orqa handles data.

Proprietary evidence base

Orqa draws from public data and authorized data partnerships: regulatory filings, property records, institutional affiliations, and news coverage.

Not for regulated decisions

Orqa is not a consumer reporting agency. We are not used for consumer credit, employment screening, insurance underwriting, or tenant-screening decisions.

Data isolation & security

Your data stays yours. Fully isolated infrastructure, no cross-client access, no data resale.
