Lead generation for recruiters and recruitment agencies
updated 26 October 2026
Recruitment agencies and recruiters can use HearBuyers to find people on X and Reddit who are already asking for hiring help. HearBuyers reads public posts and comments, scores each one for buying intent, highlights the sentence that shows demand, and drafts a reply for a person to review and post. It's built for founders and sales leads who want to catch hiring requests while they're still open.
You paste your website, and HearBuyers infers buyer roles, hiring problems, search phrases, competitors and relevant subreddits. You can edit all of it. From there you see recent opportunities, review the draft replies and follow up yourself.

How HearBuyers finds clients for recruiters and recruitment agencies
- Paste your recruitment agency website. HearBuyers builds a starting set of buyer roles, hiring problems, search phrases, competitors and communities to monitor.
- HearBuyers scans public posts and comments on X and Reddit. It starts with the last 7 days and then keeps scanning on a schedule.
- Every post gets a buying-intent score from 0 to 100. You can set a threshold (70 by default) to focus on stronger hiring requests.
- For posts that match, HearBuyers drafts a public reply and an X direct message. A person reviews, edits, copies and posts them.

What a buying request looks like
I need help building a steady flow of candidates for multiple technical leadership roles at my company. This hiring gap is my biggest bottleneck right now. I am looking for an experienced technical recruiter and have budget available for support.
This scored 98/100 because the poster is looking for a recruiter to fill several open leadership roles.
I am looking to hire a business development professional in another country with strong English skills. Can anyone recommend a recruitment agency or headhunter to help with this search? I need support finding the right candidate.
This scored 92/100 because it asks for agency recommendations for a current hiring need.
I think they are probably looking for a recruitment manager. If not, I believe they should be.
This scored 0/100 and is not a lead, because it's commentary, not a request for recruitment services.
