How a solo recruiter earned $24k on Paraform, only two months after signing up.

Shreya Shodhan

Shreya has been recruiting for over a decade, with experience hiring for enterprises like Amazon, Deloitte, and Gap. After expanding into North America in 2020, she’s been working steadily with enterprise clients, but was eager to collaborate more closely with the startup ecosystems in Canada and the US.


When she stumbled upon Paraform on LinkedIn, she was intrigued by its simplicity and client roster. Since singing up two months ago as a solo recruiter, Shreya has already expanded her client base, earning $24k this month alone.


She shares her experience with us here.

On Paraform, you can simply start recruiting.

“For someone who’s seen many platforms over my 15 years in recruiting, I found Paraform refreshingly intuitive. I felt set up for success from day one.

What really stands out about Paraform is how practical it is from a recruiter perspective. I’ve used lots of software, recruitment and otherwise, and Paraform is by far the most user-friendly that I've seen.

What I look for is always ease of use — the simplicity of getting started on Paraform impressed me. You can log in and begin working right away. The frictionless experience makes it easier for me to excel at my job.


I've even shown your platform to my kids — they’re 12 and 15 — and both understand how things work. Even my teenage daughter can explain what the platform is all about at a glance.


And because the platform integrates with my existing stack – I use LinkedIn Recruiter and Juicebox for sourcing – I can see everything in one place.”

Pitch with clear, detailed role pages.

“When I pitch companies like Truewind or Keep to candidates, I don’t even go on their LinkedIn page or website. I’m working directly from Paraform, because the information they share on the platform is so detailed, yet presented clearly and concisely.

Paraform helps me pitch better by giving me exactly what I need to start selling that role to the candidate.

I have a job description. I have the compensation. I have the details about the product and the industry. I know how much funding they’ve received, who the founders are, how long they’ve been doing this. Everything I need is right there.


I haven’t even had leave the platform when responding to candidate questions because the answers to everything they’re curious about are easily discoverable.”

Work with top-tier clients at the forefront of their industries.

“The companies hiring Paraform are incredible — they’re changemakers in their industry. The startups I’ve been working with are hitting their metrics and growing quickly, and they’re looking for people to can continue making impactful contributions.


That gives me confidence as a recruiter. I want to be able to pitch an amazing roster of clients to candidates, and Paraform helps me do this.”

Shreya has been on the platform for less than a quarter. But she’s already working on 10-15 Paraform roles a month. She credits her smooth transition to Paraform’s ease of use.


“As someone who’s been on both sides of the hiring process, I know what kind of details recruiters need in a job description and candidate requirements for a successful search. Paraform makes getting that information so much simpler. And the faster recruiters can get alignment, the more time they can spend on sourcing and placing great candidates.”
