Executive Career Intelligence, Anonymously

Executive career intelligence for senior leaders earning $150K+. Know what the market would pay you, see how you read to the companies that matter, and run every conversation, offer and decision from one private system. Every member reviewed by a person before their card goes live. You decide who gets your contact details.

OTS - Opportunities Tracking System by TOPHEADS

Know the market. Run the opportunities. Companies have an ATS; executives need an OTS: one private place holding the state of every conversation you are having about your next role - the company behind it, the routes in, and one dated next action on each. Nine screens: Today, Opportunities, Companies, People, Insights, Career Equity, Proof Library, Footprint, Data. Opens with the 14-day trial and stays with the subscription. Nobody but you sees what is in it.

How It Works

Apply: tell us who you are; every application is read by a person, not a filter. Day one: 14 days open, every tool, no card details and no waiting for approval, your anonymous card private until you choose to publish. Set the brief: target role, markets, comp floor, the first thing you do inside. Your market, daily: 150+ roles matched to it in the first 24 hours, re-read every day, and every conversation that follows runs in OTS. Decide, separately: subscribe for the tools, publish the card for 12 months, or both. Your card goes live to vetted firms after review. You approve every reveal.

Why TOPHEADS

Because at your level, careers are decided on information you don't have, in rooms you don't see. TOPHEADS puts the market read in your hands, gives you OTS to run every conversation it opens, and puts your anonymous card in front of the right companies on your terms. Tools help you search. Publication makes you findable. Take one, or both. Every application read by a person, usually within a day or two. No placement commissions. Your identity stays private until you choose to share it.

For Candidates

Whether you are actively looking or simply want to be findable to the right opportunities, TOPHEADS is executive career intelligence for senior leaders. Two products, priced separately: a $50/month subscription for the tools, and a one-time publication of your anonymous card for 12 months - $149 at $150K-$199K, $249 at $200K+ (Select). Building the card opens a 14-day trial of the tools, no card details and no waiting for approval; approval is what the publication needs.
