You can search by yourself for your next executive role but collaborating with others helps you:
See more roles
Learn from other top execs
Share roles with each other
Learn insights about companies
Get support at key moments
You control how roles you contribute are shared
To make it easy for people to share / collaborate around roles, Whispered built our platform to give the submitter control over how the role is shared. We have four types of roles, indicated by colors:
🟢 Posted These are posted online elsewhere so we share the company name with everyone
🟠 Unposted Name/Details only shared with paid Whispered members
🌕 Whispered Name/Details only shared with paid Whispered members + Whispered anonymously
🔴 Confidential Name of company/details of role are not shared with other Whispered members but only with the Whispered team and close VC talent partners.
It is easy to share roles via our site or just email role@whispered.com. Even non-members can share and receive discounts on paid membership.

We hope you share roles with all members 🟠 but
We understand there are times you want to work it first, that is why we have 🔴 Confidential status
How sharing roles helps you + the community
When you share roles, it helps you + Whispered
VC Connections: We share roles with VC talent teams opening back-doors and new relationships
Introduction Paths (coming soon): Add a role and we’ll use AI to ID the hiring manager + best intro paths via the Whispered Network.
Acceleration: Get suggestions from other members of connections who can 'whisper' to the company.
Collaboration: Get advice and collaborate with other members chasing the same role
Discounts on Whispered: We give discounts on Whispered pro to those who contribute
And... most importantly of all... when you share roles, it accelerates the flywheel so you see more and more roles:
When you share roles, other execs see the sharing and add theirs
Companies are starting to find us because of the depth of the database to reach new candidates
The Whispered community has been designed to foster and celebrate this collaboration. We only accept senior executives who are givers/helpers.
The proof is in statements like this!!
