You’d rather wait for the right opportunity than settle for the first one that looks good
You’ve spent hours researching a single company and still felt like you were guessing
You want to see what’s actually out there, not just what surfaces through your network
Each one is analyzed against what you care about. Not just what they say on their careers page: org structure, leadership team, funding, growth signals, and open roles.
You define what matters most: growth, mission, stability, prestige, culture, or flexibility. You’ll see how each employer stacks up against your priorities, not someone else’s.
Each brief tells you why the organization needs someone like you right now and who to contact. Plus leadership context, org structure, red flags, and questions to ask in the interview.
Sourced evidence that an organization is headed the right direction. Plus the red flags you’d only discover three rounds into the interview process.
Fill out a short survey, then spend about 15 minutes with an AI interviewer (in the LLM of your choice) surfacing your real wins, capabilities, and what problems actually excite you.
Based on what you told us, we’ve already mapped out what you’re looking for. We spend the session pressure-testing that against real employers to sharpen your criteria.
AI agents screen each employer the way you would if you had unlimited time. Org structure, leadership, press, funding, growth signals, culture, red flags, and open roles.
In 48 hours, you get a sourced intelligence report with your top matches ranked and the context you need to start conversations that lead with your unique strengths.
Hello! I’m Ben Jackson. I run Hear Me Out, a management consulting firm that helps teams become more effective by running confidential listening tours.
Through hundreds of interviews, I’ve learned to spot the details that separate organizations worth joining from ones that just look good on paper. Offtrail is how I put that instinct to work for people navigating their own career search.
Most executives spend months interviewing at places with the wrong culture, leadership, or trajectory. This tells you which employers are worth your time before you ask for a single intro.

A recruiter starts with open roles and finds candidates to fill them. Offtrail starts with your criteria and finds companies that match, whether or not they’re actively hiring. You get research, not introductions. The output is yours to use however you want.
Great — that makes the session faster. But most people discover that their criteria shift once we start pulling up real matches. The value isn’t just confirming what you know; it’s surfacing what you didn’t know to look for.
We use a search API built for this kind of research. Every result is tested by AI agents that search the web and cross-reference multiple sources to confirm it meets every one of your criteria. If it doesn’t pass them all, you never see it.
Every go signal and red flag in your report links to its source: a news article, SEC filing, LinkedIn profile, or press release. Nothing is asserted without a citation you can click and verify. The AI does the screening at scale; the sourcing is what makes it trustworthy.
Yes. Your search is completely private. We don’t share your information or contact anyone on your behalf.
Within 1-2 weeks of the strategy session.
A single-file HTML report that works in any browser, on your phone, even in your email client. No login required. Each top match gets a full brief covering why the organization needs someone like you, who to contact, and how to open the conversation. All backed by weighted scores, sourced green lights and red flags, and a full company breakdown. Organizations that didn’t make the cut are grouped by reason, and every claim links to its source so you can verify it yourself.
We’ll revise it. If the first pass doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust your criteria and run it again. If you’re still not satisfied after a revision, we’ll refund you in full.
