​
Overview

Bolto is a recruiting marketplace designed to help companies hire top-of-the-market international talent as quickly as possible. Instead of working with a single recruiter or a traditional agency, Bolto puts multiple recruiters against each other to be the first to deliver exceptional candidates for your role. This competitive model drives speed, responsiveness, and candidate quality. Customers interact directly with recruiters through their Bolto account and retain full control over the hiring process.

​
What Bolto Is (and Is Not)

Bolto is:
  • A marketplace of recruiters competing to fill your role
  • A direct messaging platform between you and recruiters
  • A solution for hiring anywhere in the world
  • Built for speed and market-leading talent
Bolto is not:
  • A traditional staffing agency
  • A single-recruiter model
  • A black-box recruiting service

​
Global Hiring, Without Limits

Bolto supports hiring internationally, across any geography. Recruiters on the platform specialize in different regions, roles, and seniority levels. You decide where you want to hire, and recruiters who believe they can deliver for your role will engage. There are no predefined country restrictions.

​
How Recruiting Works on Bolto

​
Step 1: Create a Role

You start by creating a role on Bolto. When listing a role, you define:
  • Role responsibilities and requirements
  • Location or geographic preferences (if any)
  • Seniority level
  • Compensation range
  • Target start date
Setting compensation upfront ensures recruiters are aligned on expectations and can move quickly.

​
Step 2: Recruiter Competition Begins

Once your role is live:
  • Recruiters on Bolto can view your role
  • Interested recruiters begin sourcing immediately
  • Recruiters compete to be the first to introduce top candidates
You receive access to a Bolto account that allows you to:
  • Message recruiters directly
  • Answer clarifying questions
The competitive dynamic incentivizes recruiters to prioritize your role and deliver their strongest candidates quickly.

​
Step 3: Customer Interviews

You run your own interview process. Bolto does not prescribe or control how you interview candidates. You can:
  • Use your existing interview structure
  • Add or remove interview rounds
  • Run technical, behavioral, or case-based interviews
You maintain full ownership over candidate evaluation and hiring decisions.

​
Step 4: Offer & Hiring

When you decide to move forward with a candidate:
  • You extend an offer based on the compensation range you set upfront
  • Bolto supports the hiring transition and next steps as needed
From there, candidates can be onboarded through Bolto’s broader platform depending on your hiring setup.

​
Why Companies Use Bolto

Companies use Bolto because it’s more than a recruiting tool. While Bolto starts with a competitive recruiting marketplace, it’s designed to support the entire lifecycle of an international hire—from the moment a role is created to long-term workforce management. Bolto combines:
  • A recruiter marketplace optimized for speed and top-of-market talent
  • An applicant tracking system (ATS) to manage candidates and hiring workflows
  • Payroll and compliance infrastructure for international hires
  • Tools to manage contractors, employees, and ongoing work
This means companies don’t need to stitch together multiple vendors as they scale globally.

​
Getting Started

To get started:
  • Create a role
  • Set compensation
  • Engage recruiters directly
  • Interview candidates as they’re introduced
Bolto is designed to feel less like a vendor and more like a hiring advantage.
