A sourcing tool that costs less than your morning coffee
Most sourcing tools charge $500+/month whether you use them or not. Superstar Sourcing charges $10 per search to unlock ~300 matched candidates, plus ~$1 per contact reveal when you want someone's email and phone. That's it. No subscription, no contract.
Cheap because software does the work. Not because we cut corners.
Most sourcing tools charge $500-$1,000/month because they built enterprise sales teams, leased office space, and hired account managers who send you "just checking in!" emails. That cost gets passed to you.
We built software that does the sourcing. AI matches candidates to your description. No sales team. No account managers. No enterprise pricing tiers designed to make the "Professional" plan look reasonable next to the "Enterprise" plan.
The result: you pay for what you use. $10 to unlock a search and see ~300 matched candidates. Then ~$1 each to reveal the email and phone number of the candidates you actually want to contact. That's the whole pricing model.
What $10 actually gets you
One search unlock. Contact reveals (~$1 each) are separate -- you only pay for the ones you want.
~300 matched candidates
Not random names from a database dump. AI-ranked professionals who actually match what you described.
AI match scores
Every candidate gets a score with a plain-English explanation of why they fit -- and what might be a concern.
Plain English search
No Boolean strings. No keyword acrobatics. Type what you need like you'd describe it to a colleague.

Prices above are for search unlocks only. Contact reveals (email + phone) cost ~$1 per candidate, and you only reveal the ones you want to reach out to.
Three steps. No onboarding call.
No demo request forms. No "let's schedule a call to discuss your needs."
Describe what you need
"Senior backend engineer, 5+ years Python, experience with distributed systems, ideally in fintech." That's it. No Boolean operators, no keyword tricks. You can also paste a full job description or upload a file.
Preview matches for free

"What's the catch?"
Fair question. When something costs 95% less than the alternatives, skepticism is healthy.
There's no catch. There's a business model. Subscription tools charge $500/month because they need to cover sales teams, account managers, and enterprise infrastructure. We don't have those things. Software does the work. We pass the savings to you.
We also make money when you come back. If the results are bad, you won't. So we're incentivized to make every search count -- unlike subscription tools that get paid whether you use them or not.
- ✗ Pay $500+/month even if you don't search
- ✗ Annual contracts lock you in
- ✗ No incentive to improve after you've paid
- Pay only when you search
- No contract, stop anytime
- We earn your next search every time

Built for recruiters who do math
Agency recruiters
Your margin is your business. Every dollar saved on tools is a dollar earned. Pay $10 per role instead of $500/month for a seat that sits idle between placements.
In-house recruiters
Your CFO wants to know why the recruiting stack costs $50K/year. Show them a tool that costs $10 per search and delivers the same quality candidates.
Startup founders
You need three engineers and have a budget of "as little as possible." Three searches = $30. That's less than your Figma subscription.
Small teams
No per-seat pricing. Share credits across your team, pay for what you collectively use. Hiring slows down in Q3? Your sourcing costs drop to zero.
Your next hire shouldn't cost a fortune to find
$10 per search. ~300 candidates. ~$1 per contact reveal. No subscription. Preview for free, pay only when you're convinced.
