For organisations

Don't start with a job.
Start with what you need to achieve.

Tell Profound what you're trying to change, build or strengthen. We'll keep discovering the people who could help — not just when you're hiring, but as your organisation evolves.

Discovery

More than a role to fill.

A Discovery is an organisational objective Profound keeps working on.

It might begin with a role you need today, a capability you're building, or an area where you simply want to know the right people before you need them.

Understand

What are you trying to achieve?

Discover

Who could help you get there?

Introduce

Who is worth a conversation?

Understand

What should Profound understand next time?

Continuous discovery

The people worth knowing change.

Availability changes. Careers move. Priorities shift. New people become relevant.

Profound keeps watching the landscape around each Discovery and brings people forward when there's a reason to look.

Nothing else needs you

One Discovery.
More than one conversation.

A Discovery doesn't stop because you've met one person.

Keep meeting the people worth knowing while the objective remains important.

Understanding

Profound gets better at knowing your organisation.

Every Discovery, decision and conversation adds context to what Profound understands about your organisation.

What Profound learns changes who it brings to your attention — without turning that understanding into filters.

What we understand
  • Culture
  • Ambition
  • Working environment
  • Leadership
  • What success looks like
  • Previous Discoveries

This understanding stays with the organisation, so the next Discovery doesn't begin from zero.

Introductions

Meet when it's worth talking.

You request the introduction. The professional decides whether they'd like to meet and exactly what they'd like to share.

James ↔ Anna

Contact details shared. Profound steps aside.

Until an introduction is accepted

Until an introduction is accepted, each side controls what the other can see. The professional chooses what to share when they accept.

Relationships

The conversation doesn't disappear when the Discovery ends.

Once an introduction is accepted, Profound steps out of the conversation. The relationship — and everything understood along the way — remains.

Profound remembers the relationships it has helped create, so useful conversations can become relevant again months or years later.

Relationships

Discovery Days

Pay for attention.
Not placements.

Discovery Days determine where Profound focuses its attention.

Allocate them across the Discoveries that matter now and reallocate them when priorities change.

You stay in control.

Profound decides what may be worth your attention. You decide:

Who to explore
Who to keep close
Who to request an introduction to
Which Discoveries deserve more attention

Profound should reduce the work required to make those decisions — not take the decisions away.
