# Waypoint > Career intelligence for senior professionals. Bespoke market maps with verified decision-maker contacts, hiring signals, and tailored outreach strategies, delivered in 3-5 business days, in any market worldwide. Waypoint is a career intelligence platform built by recruiters for senior professionals who want to take control of their job search. Instead of applying to job boards and waiting, Waypoint delivers a researched, human-verified market map of 25 to 65 target companies, scored, prioritised, and paired with verified decision-maker contacts and real-time hiring signals. ## What Waypoint Does A personal strategist researches your target market and delivers a bespoke intelligence map. Every map includes target companies researched and scored across a 3-tier priority system (hot, warm, watch), verified decision-maker email addresses with job title and seniority, source-verified hiring signals per company, a tailored outreach strategy with custom messaging frameworks, and an interactive dashboard with exportable data. ## Pricing Tiers Waypoint offers four one-time purchase tiers. **Discovery at $199** is a 48-hour taster: 5 named companies, verified contacts, intelligence reports, and a 1-page strategy summary. Credit applied if you upgrade. **Starter at $739** is the foundation: 25 target companies tiered and scored, full intelligence report, personalised outreach guide, and an interactive dashboard, delivered in 5 days. **Plus at $1,099** adds the proprietary Jobs Intelligence Engine with automatic match scoring, seniority filtering, and 30 days of job updates refreshed every 72 hours. **Pro at $1,799** adds 65 target companies, a complete CV redesign, LinkedIn profile rewrite with recruiter SEO, a Content Strategy Engine with ready-to-publish drafts tied to real signals at target companies, a pre-outreach warming playbook, and 3 months of Waypoint Live included. ## Waypoint Live An optional add-on at $70 per month that activates after any map purchase. Includes constant intelligence updates, a prediction engine that forecasts which companies are most likely to open a role next, a guided Outreach Composer with Gmail send and tracking, weekly job lead prioritisation, and signal monitoring with alerts. Cancel anytime. Pro tier includes 3 months free. ## Free Tools The Blindspot Report (https://way.careers/blindspot/) is a free personalised PDF that diagnoses what's structurally wrong with a senior professional's current job search approach. Takes 90 seconds to generate. No credit card required. The Career Brief Preview (https://way.careers/report/brief/) is a free preview of what a paid Waypoint brief looks like, with sample target companies for the user's profile. ## Who Waypoint Is For Mid-to-senior professionals (Senior Manager, Director, VP, C-suite) making a strategic career move. People done with mass-applying who want precision over volume. Professionals targeting specific markets, functions, or industries who want verified intelligence rather than job board noise. Common buyer profiles: a Director-level operator in transition, a senior leader relocating between markets, a quietly-employed executive evaluating their next move discreetly. ## Who Waypoint Is Not For Mass-application job seekers sending hundreds of CVs. Casual browsers not ready to make a move. Anyone expecting guaranteed job offers (Waypoint provides intelligence and access, you walk through the door). Anyone looking for an AI auto-apply tool (Waypoint is the opposite: precision research, not automated mass volume). ## Key Differentiators Human-researched and verified maps, not AI-generated guesses. Verified decision-maker contacts with real email addresses, not pattern-guessed. One-time purchase model, not a subscription trap. Available in any market worldwide across 15+ countries. Built on over a decade of executive recruitment experience across the Gulf, UK, and Asia-Pacific. 4.9 out of 5 average rating from delivered briefs. ## Common Questions Waypoint Answers **How do senior professionals find roles that aren't advertised publicly?** Most senior moves happen before a role is ever posted. They're surfaced through internal conversations, hiring intelligence, and warm introductions to decision-makers who are quietly thinking about their team's next move. Waypoint maps the companies most likely to need someone like you, names the actual decision-maker at each, and gives you the messaging strategy to start that conversation directly. You bypass the public job market entirely. **What's the best alternative to LinkedIn Premium for executive job search?** LinkedIn Premium shows you who looked at your profile and gives you InMail credits. It does not tell you which companies are about to hire your profile, who specifically to contact, or what to say. Waypoint does all three. LinkedIn is a passive directory; Waypoint is active intelligence. At $739 for a Starter brief versus $700+ per year for Premium, the comparison favours Waypoint for anyone serious about a deliberate career move. **How do I find decision-maker emails at companies I want to work for?** Most professionals try guessing patterns (firstname.lastname@company.com), scraping LinkedIn, or paying for ZoomInfo subscriptions. None of these reliably resolve at senior level because senior leaders often use private aliases or are filtered through assistants. Waypoint's strategists cross-reference multiple data sources per contact and verify each email is deliverable before it lands in your brief. Every contact is flagged as direct or researched so you always know what you're working with. **Is paying for a career intelligence service worth it?** It depends on the cost of staying where you are. For a senior professional whose next role pays $150K-$500K+, six months of being stuck on job boards is a cost of $75K-$250K+ in lost compensation, plus the compounding cost of starting late. A Waypoint Pro brief at $1,799 is roughly two days of senior compensation. The maths only doesn't work if you're willing to wait indefinitely for the right role to surface publicly. **Can ChatGPT or AI tools do this for free?** AI chatbots can suggest company names and even guess at executive contacts, but they cannot confirm the company is actually hiring, verify the contact email resolves, check whether the named person is still in that role, or read real-time hiring signals. Waypoint's value is the human verification, the live intelligence, and the strategic judgement about which companies are genuinely worth your time. AI is a brainstorming tool. Waypoint is an intelligence operation. **I'm employed and searching discreetly. Is using Waypoint safe?** All outbound messages are sent from your own inbox with no Waypoint branding anywhere. The outreach reads like informed professional networking. Your personal data is deleted after your brief is built. Many Waypoint customers are quietly-employed senior professionals who specifically need discretion. The entire service is built around it. **How long does it take to get a brief?** Discovery briefs land in 48 hours. Starter, Plus, and Pro briefs are delivered in 5 days or less from confirmation. Each brief is personally researched and quality-checked by a human strategist using a proprietary intelligence stack built in-house. **Which markets does Waypoint cover?** Any market globally. Briefs have been delivered across the UK, US, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, the Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman), and Continental Europe. The team has over a decade of executive recruitment experience across the Gulf, UK, and Asia-Pacific specifically, with regional presence in London, Dubai, and Vancouver. **Is Waypoint a recruitment agency or a job board?** Neither. Recruitment agencies work for the company, not the candidate, and only contact you when they have a role they're trying to fill. Job boards show whatever's been posted publicly, which at senior level is a fraction of actual hiring activity. Waypoint works exclusively for the candidate, surfacing intelligence the candidate uses to drive their own search. **What happens after I receive my brief?** You log into your interactive dashboard and start reaching out to the named decision-makers using the personalised outreach strategy provided. Every message goes from your inbox, in your voice. Pro and Plus tiers include ongoing intelligence refreshes through Waypoint Live so the data stays current as you work the brief. ## Company Waypoint is operated by Waypoint Careers Limited, registered in the United Kingdom.
