Clear expectations. Mutual respect.

The service

sii{me} is an AI-native, human-backed hiring platform that structures professional and opportunity information, supports consent-based introductions, and helps people manage a hiring process. sii provides decision support; people and employers make every employment decision.

Accounts and verification

You must provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and use only your own account. Identity verification confirms that a real person controls an account; it does not certify professional credentials, employment history, education, licenses, skills, or every Passport statement.

Talent is always free

Talent is always free. There are no talent paywalls, premium visibility fees, or pay-to-play. Talent never pays to join, build a Passport, match, receive support, meet a hiring leader, or accept a job.

Company and VC Portfolio license fees are paid by the contracting organization, never by talent. Identity verification, evidence review, invitation requirements, and mutual consent remain separate from payment.

Private membership and company connections

General membership follows the private Winter and Summer cohort process. Enabled entry links from licensed companies provide a separate company-linked onboarding route. A member creates or reuses one free account and Passport and explicitly chooses each company connection. A company connection does not automatically enroll the member with other employers, a portfolio community, or the wider network.

A member may withdraw a company connection while keeping their account and Passport. Existing mutual conversations and previously shared information follow the applicable privacy and retention rules. The members-only company directory contains basic information from companies that choose to be listed; it does not publish jobs, role titles, or private hiring activity.

Free hiring-leader access

Talent and hiring-leader accounts and Passports are free. Companies and VC firms license the software for their own participating talent and hiring teams. They bring their community and opportunities; sii{me} provides the matching and hiring workflow. Talent is always free. There are no talent paywalls, premium visibility fees, or pay-to-play. Talent never pays to join, build a Passport, match, receive support, meet a hiring leader, or accept a job.

Hiring-leader accounts and Hiring Manager Passports are free. An organization starts a Company or VC Portfolio license only under separately agreed pilot or annual terms and scoped capacity. Membership, an account, a Passport, or an access code does not authorize payment.

Hiring companies

Hiring managers must have authority to represent their company and must accurately disclose approved headcount, compensation, process, and decision ownership. Before licensed matching or a live introduction, the company must separately accept the applicable versioned commercial agreement and establish an approved billing method.

Company and VC Portfolio license fees

A standard Company license starts at $12,000 per year for one employer, billed annually, with unlimited authorized hiring-team seats. Bring the people who want to work with your company into your own participating network. Use Passports, role and manager context, explained matching, mutual introductions, scheduling, interview preparation, and hiring workflow. Member, matching, implementation, and support capacity are agreed in your signed order.

A standard VC Portfolio license starts at $60,000 per year for up to 10 named portfolio companies, billed annually, with unlimited authorized team seats. Additional companies start at $6,000 per company per year. Give each participating employer its own workspace, hiring leaders, roles, and decisions within a consent-based portfolio network. Member and matching capacity is pooled and defined in the signed order.

Selective six-month pilot partnerships at a reduced cost. Preferred licensing rates for six months. Access the same core sii{me} features at a reduced pilot rate, with your rollout scope agreed together. Contact the team through the form to explore pilot partnership pricing. Participating employers, member and matching capacity, implementation, and support are agreed in signed scope; a shorter term does not promise identical usage capacity. Pilot pricing is confirmed separately before service starts. A very limited number of pilot partnerships is offered to selected companies and VC portfolios. Availability is shared across Company and VC Portfolio licenses, with each rollout scoped separately. An inquiry does not reserve a place. Availability review and a signed pilot agreement confirm participation.

The pilot covers six months only. Renewal requires a new written quote and terms agreed before the renewal starts. There is no automatic conversion or renewal charge.

Signed terms confirm the actual service term, Company or VC Portfolio license, named employer scope, capacity, implementation, support, billing dates, and payment deadlines. New licenses have no placement, success, per-hire, per-role, or per-seat fee. A public pricing page does not determine an existing customer's contracted fees or authorize payment.

Your signed agreement determines your fees. Existing signed agreements remain in effect unless both parties agree to a change in writing. Current pricing does not amend an existing agreement or authorize a payment.

Company licenses cover one employer. VC Portfolio licenses cover named portfolio employers with separate company permissions and agreed pooled capacity. Portfolio administrators receive permitted aggregate reporting without private member data. Details are available in Company plans & pricing.

Fair and lawful hiring

Users may not discriminate, harass, retaliate, misrepresent an opportunity, request protected information for an unlawful purpose, or use sii{me} to make an unlawful employment decision. Protected demographic answers remain voluntary and separated from matching and evaluation.

AI decision support

MatchProof and other generated analysis may be incomplete or wrong. Users must review evidence, correct errors, provide reasonable accommodations, and apply job-related criteria consistently. sii{me} may pause automation or require human review when confidence, safety, accessibility, or legal compliance is uncertain.

Privacy and acceptable use

You may use information revealed through mutual consent only for the relevant professional or hiring purpose. Scraping, bulk export, resale, stalking, credential sharing, impersonation, spam, security testing without permission, and attempts to bypass privacy or billing controls are prohibited.

Suspension and termination

sii{me} may restrict matching, suspend an account, preserve evidence, or close access when verification fails, a safety report requires investigation, legal obligations require it, or these Terms are breached. A company's paid hiring service may also be paused for overdue company invoices under its signed terms. Talent is never required to pay a company's charges to use their free account. Users may request account deletion subject to legal, safety, fraud-prevention, and financial-record retention requirements.

What we cannot guarantee

sii{me} does not guarantee a match, interview, offer, hire, employee performance, retention, or the accuracy of user-provided information.
