Elevator Pitch: get connected, get paid
Elevator Pitch is an Australian employment platform, owned by RecAlliance, where job seekers are paid when employers connect with them. It is not a job board: professionals create a profile and attract connection requests.
What it is
Job searching and hiring, reimagined
On Elevator Pitch, job seekers build one professional profile with a short, anonymous elevator pitch. Employers search that pool by skills, shortlist, and request to connect.
When a job seeker accepts, the employer pays a connection fee to unlock their contact details. If the employer goes on to hire them, the job seeker also receives a sign-on bonus. The philosophy is simple: always be open to a conversation.
Why it stands out
- Job seekers are paid directly for connections
- No up-front fees for job seekers or businesses
- Businesses only pay for accepted connections
- Anonymous, skills-based and non-biased
- No job ads, no public feed, no advertising

Questions & answers
Elevator Pitch FAQs
What is Elevator Pitch?
Elevator Pitch (myelevatorpitch.com.au) is an Australian employment platform where job seekers get paid when employers pay to connect with them. Instead of applying for jobs, members build a professional profile that includes a short elevator pitch, and employers search, shortlist and pay a connection fee (plus a sign-on bonus if hired) to unlock contact details.
Who owns Elevator Pitch?
Elevator Pitch is owned and operated by RecAlliance Pty Ltd, an Australian company that builds platforms for work and business.
Is Elevator Pitch a job board or a recruitment agency?
Neither. Elevator Pitch has no job ads to apply to, and it is a self-serve platform rather than a recruitment agency. Job seekers create a profile and attract connection requests, and employers search and connect directly.
How much does Elevator Pitch cost?
Elevator Pitch is free to join for job seekers and free for employers to search, shortlist and request to connect. Employers only pay a connection fee once a job seeker accepts a connection request, and pay a sign-on bonus if they hire that person.
Is Elevator Pitch anonymous?
Yes. Employers search anonymous, skills-based profiles and elevator pitches. A job seeker's contact details stay hidden until they accept a connection request, so employers cannot contact them without permission.
How is Elevator Pitch different from Seek, Indeed or LinkedIn?
Seek and Indeed are built around job ads that people apply to, and LinkedIn is a public social network with subscription recruiter tools. Elevator Pitch has no job ads, no public feed and no ads: employers search anonymous profiles and pay per accepted connection, with the money going to the job seeker.
