Answers about HotJPT - the signal-based hiring network connecting recruiters, bench sales, and job seekers in real time.

Getting Started
HotJPT is a signal based hiring network built for the way staffing actually works. Instead of posting long job descriptions or applying to endless listings, you fire a signal, a lightweight statement of what you need or what you have, and HotJPT matches and connects you with the right people in real time. It brings recruiters, bench sales professionals and job seekers into one live marketplace.
HotJPT serves three core personas: Recruiters who need to fill roles fast, Bench Sales professionals marketing available consultants and Job Seekers who want to be discovered without applying. Whichever side you're on, signals connect you to the others instantly.
Job boards are static. You post, then wait. HotJPT is real time and two sided: the moment you fire a signal, our matching engine routes it to relevant people and notifies them. No applications pile up, no JD writing marathons, no cold mass emails. Just matched connections and direct chat.
Yes, you can get started free. Creating an account, firing your first signals, viewing matches, and chatting are all part of the free experience. Advanced volume, analytics, and team features will live on paid plans (see the Billing section).
Click Get started and choose your path. Recruiters and Bench Sales sign up with a company email (with a quick verification code) or via LinkedIn. Job Seekers sign up with LinkedIn or Google so their profile is verified and prefilled with no résumé upload needed. Setup takes under a minute.
HotJPT is built for US IT staffing and supports every common work authorization type including US Citizen, Green Card, H1B, OPT / STEM OPT, CPT, TN, L1 / L2 EAD and more. Signals carry visa context so matches are always work authorization aware.
Signals: the core concept
A signal is a short, structured broadcast of intent. A recruiter's signal says "here's the role I'm trying to fill." A bench sales or job seeker signal says "here's the talent that's available." HotJPT reads the signal, matches it against the other side of the network in real time, and connects the right people with no full job description or application required.
The instant you fire a signal, HotJPT's engine scores it against every relevant signal on the other side by skills, visa status, rate, location, and availability and surfaces ranked matches to both parties within seconds. As new signals enter the network, your matches update live.
A requirement signal is fired by a recruiter and describes an open need. A talent signal is fired by bench sales or a job seeker and describes available talent. HotJPT matches the two directions automatically so you only ever speak your own side.
Correct. A few essentials like role or skill, location/remote, rate band, and visa acceptance are enough to fire a signal and start matching. You can always add detail later, but you're never blocked waiting to write a complete JD.
Signal lifespans reflect how fast each side moves. Job seeker and bench sales talent signals stay active for 3 months, while recruiter requirement signals stay active for 3 weeks since open roles move quickly. You can refresh, snooze, or close any signal at any time, and stale signals are auto flagged so the network stays fresh.
Yes. Update the skills, rate, location, or visa criteria on a live signal at any time and matching reruns instantly against the new parameters with no need to delete and repost.
For Recruiters
From your dashboard, click Fire signal, drop in the role or key skills, location, rate band, and accepted visa types, and fire. You're matched with available talent in real time with no lengthy job post to write first.
Every requirement has a live Matches view ranked by fit score. Open a match to see the consultant or candidate's skills, visa, rate, and availability at a glance, then start a direct chat, all without leaving HotJPT.
Yes, HotJPT has built in direct messaging. When you have a strong match, message the bench sales rep or job seeker right inside the platform with no exporting contacts or jumping to email.
Job seekers sign up through LinkedIn or Google, so their identity and work history are verified at the source. Bench sales and recruiter accounts are tied to verified company emails.
That's exactly the point. Fire a requirement in seconds, get ranked matches in real time, and chat instantly. Most recruiters go from "I have an opening" to "I'm talking to matched talent" in minutes, not days.
For Bench Sales
You can fire a talent signal three ways: a brief description of your hotlist, a resume snapshot, or your consultant's profile details. HotJPT instantly delivers it to every recruiter whose open requirement matches. If a recruiter likes a hotlist profile, they request the resume; once you approve that request, the recruiter can view the full resume. Resume access is only granted after your approval so you stay in control of who sees your consultant's details.
Your signal reaches every recruiter on the network with a matching live requirement and keeps reaching new ones as fresh requirements come in. Instead of blasting a static hotlist to inboxes, you're continuously matched to genuine, active demand.
Yes. Fire and track a talent signal per consultant, see which are generating matches, and update availability in one place. It's your live hotlist, always current, always working in the background.
You control visibility. Core matching attributes are used to find demand, but full contact details are shared only when you choose to engage a matched recruiter. Nothing is broadcast publicly.
Talent signals carry rate bands and engagement preferences like C2C W2 1099, so you're only matched with recruiters whose terms line up, meaning fewer mismatched conversations and faster closes.
For Job Seekers
Fire an availability signal with your skills, visa status, desired rate, and location. That's the one move you need. Recruiters with matching roles are connected to you in real time, and they reach out to you. No applications, ever.
Social sign up verifies your identity and prefills your profile with your real work history and skills, saving you time and earning recruiter trust instantly. It's the fastest way to become discoverable, and there's no résumé to upload.
Your signal is matched against live recruiter requirements by skills, visa eligibility, rate, and location. You only surface for roles you're actually authorized and suited for with no wading through listings that don't sponsor your status.
Yes. When your availability signal is live and a recruiter matches, they can message you directly inside HotJPT. You stay in control and can pause your signal anytime to go invisible.
Your availability signal is shared only with matched recruiters through HotJPT and isn't posted publicly. You decide when it's live, and you can pause or close it instantly whenever you want.
HotJPT AI & Matching
HotJPT's AI matching engine reads each signal and scores it against the other side of the network by skills, visa, rate, location, and availability, then ranks results by fit. It's what lets you skip boolean searches and manual filtering entirely.
Yes. Ask in natural language, e.g. "H1B React developers in Texas under $70/hr, available now", and HotJPT returns ranked matches. No special syntax or filters to learn.
Every match carries a fit score so you can judge relevance at a glance, and matching improves as signals gain detail. AI surfaces and ranks the options while you always make the final call on who to engage.
HotJPT uses your signals to power matching for your account and the network connections you intend to make. We don't sell your data, and you control your visibility and what's shared. See the Account & Trust section for details.
Account, Privacy & Trust
Recruiters and bench sales verify through a company email and a one time code. Job seekers verify through LinkedIn or Google. This keeps the network credible so every match is with a real, accountable party.
Only the matching attributes needed to connect you are used by the engine. Full details and contact info are exchanged when you choose to engage a match. Nothing about you is broadcast publicly on the open web.
You can pause, snooze, or close any signal at any time to control whether you're discoverable. Job seekers can go invisible instantly; recruiters and bench sales can take signals offline the moment a need is met.
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is scoped to your account and the connections you make. We follow industry standard security practices to protect every profile and signal.
Every profile and conversation has a Report option. Our trust & safety team reviews reports and can warn, restrict, or remove accounts that violate our terms, keeping the network safe and professional.
You can close your account anytime from account settings. Closing it removes your active signals from matching and deletes your profile data in line with our retention policy.
Billing & Plans
Pricing details are coming soon. HotJPT will keep a free tier to get started including fire signals, view matches, and chat, with paid plans adding higher volume, deeper analytics, and team features. This section is a placeholder and will be updated when plans go live.

When paid plans launch, you'll be able to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime from account settings, with your plan staying active until the end of the billing period and no cancellation fees. Final terms to be confirmed.
