01 / REACH
Reach: a managed crowd
A distributed network of sourcers surfaces technical candidates from people they actually know. That's reach no portal can buy.
Crowdsourced technical recruitment
Hire technical talent faster. Through a crowd, not a job board.
42net taps a managed network of people to find technical candidates that job boards miss, then screens them with AI and human coordinators before they ever reach you. You see only the shortlist. You pay only when you hire.
Pay only when you hire. No retainers, no upfront fees.
The problem with technical hiring
The strongest technical people usually aren't applying at all.
Job boards bury you in applicants, most of them off-target. Agencies are slow and expensive. And the strongest technical people usually aren't applying at all. They're heads-down in a role, reachable only through someone who already knows them.
That's the talent 42net is built to reach.
How 42net works
We split recruitment into three layers, each doing what it does best.
02 / SPEED
Speed: AI screening
Every candidate is filtered for relevance and de-duplicated automatically, so weak matches never waste anyone's time.
03 / TRUST
Trust: human coordinators
Our in-house coordinators verify, screen, and run every client conversation. No CV reaches you unchecked. A real person stands between the crowd and your shortlist, start to finish.

Sourced through real networks
Technical recruitment, sourced through real networks
We're focused on technical hiring: reaching candidates through people's networks rather than re-listed applicants, filtering every profile with AI, and keeping a human coordinator between the crowd and your shortlist. Clean, relevant, and verified before it lands on your desk.
Reach beyond a single recruiter's desk
Reach beyond a single recruiter's desk
A crowd spreads sourcing across many people and many networks at once, so each role is worked by the people closest to the right candidates, wherever they are. That's reach that scales in a way one recruiter never can.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
42net is a crowdsourced technical recruitment platform. We reach candidates through a managed network of sourcers, screen them with AI and human coordinators, and send employers a verified shortlist.
A traditional agency relies on a few recruiters and a database. 42net spreads sourcing across a large crowd for far wider network reach, uses AI to filter for speed, and keeps coordinators in charge of trust and client contact. The result is agency-grade screening with crowd-scale reach.
Only when a candidate actually joins. There are no retainers or upfront listing fees.
No. If you have a network and an internet connection, you can source. We handle screening and all client conversations.
We're currently focused on technical recruitment.
No. A 42net coordinator is always the interface between the crowd and the client. Candidates and CVs are handled through us, not passed around.
