A first hire is hard to evaluate.
Small teams need evidence of practical ability. A resume’s keywords alone do not establish depth. Validate this with SME discovery interviews.
Software revenue first.
Evidence that compounds.
New purchases use one-time hiring campaigns and optional AI credits. The recurring subscription simulator below is a legacy scenario, not a forecast for the new offer. Prepaid balances are not automatically earned revenue; reconcile purchases, consumption, refunds and delivery costs separately.
ExiLnk starts with a useful recruiting tool for Australian SMEs hiring people across traditional and non-traditional work. Hiring outcomes can improve evaluation over time, subject to explicit candidate consent.

Success fee revenue / month$5,000
Managed margin / month$500
Monthly revenue + managed margin$30,400
CAC payback (months)2.5

MRR = paying customers × average monthly subscription. ARR excludes success fees and managed services. LTV = monthly subscription gross profit per customer ÷ monthly churn. Payback = CAC ÷ monthly subscription gross profit.
Managed margin is contribution after contractor payroll pass-through; it is not gross payroll volume. This model excludes fixed costs, tax, working capital, collection delays, discounting and cohort effects.

Resume intake, skill evidence and structured interview shortlists for roles and projects across work areas, using an employer’s existing pipeline.

Reachable junior-tech-hiring SMEs × validated willingness to pay. Add separately researched project spending. No unverified multibillion-dollar TAM claim.
Earn a useful outcome dataset.
Consent-based skill and hiring outcomes, disciplined evaluation and partner relationships could improve the product. A proprietary trained model is a milestone, not a present claim.
Prove one narrow workflow.
Run 3–5 university pilots, recruit paying SME design partners, measure shortlist review time and interview conversion, and validate retention before broadening scope.
