Every recruitment agency says it delivers a great service. Candidates and clients have heard it all before, and they have learned to discount it. A claim on a homepage carries almost no weight, because anyone can write it. What people trust instead is evidence, and until now recruitment has had very little of it that stands up to scrutiny.
TopRec exists to close that gap. It is the independent, verified review and AI pitch platform built specifically for recruitment agencies, and it gives an agency something a testimonial never could: proof.
What TopRec gives an agency

AI pitches
Branded, shareable pitch pages built in minutes from four templates, with view tracking built in.
Recruitment has a trust problem
The people choosing a recruiter face the same difficulty from two directions. A candidate deciding whether to trust an agency with their next career move, and a hiring manager deciding whether to sign a contract, both need to answer one question: is this agency actually any good?
Self-promotion cannot answer it. A glowing quote on an agency's own website might be genuine, edited, or invented, and the reader has no way to tell which. Searches for an agency's name often return outdated information, or nothing useful at all. The result is a market where the strongest agencies and the weakest ones look almost identical from the outside.
What "verified" actually means
On TopRec, a review is tied to a real placement or engagement from the recruitment workflow. Reviews are collected from candidates and clients who have genuinely worked with the agency, at the point that work happened, not gathered at random or hand-picked for effect.
Ratings are aggregated for the agency as a whole and for each individual recruiter, so a consultant's own track record sits alongside their agency's. Reputation becomes something measured, rather than asserted.
Independence is the feature
It can seem counter-intuitive that an agency would promote a platform it does not control. That is exactly why it works. A reputation only persuades when the audience believes it could have gone the other way. Because reviews on TopRec are tamper-proof, a strong rating tells a prospective client something a marketing page cannot: this agency has delivered consistently, and an independent record confirms it.
Reputation that shows up where people look
Trust is only useful if prospects can find it. TopRec profiles are built SEO-first. Each agency and recruiter page is structured with data that search engines read directly, which means verified ratings can appear as rich results, including star ratings, in Google's search results. Instead of being invisible, or reliant on a thin website, an agency's name returns a profile showing real ratings, real reviews, and a current view of the team and live roles.
Built on data agencies already have
TopRec is powered by Refari, so profiles stay current on their own. Team members, live jobs, and reviews sync from the recruitment platform on a regular schedule, and the profile reflects reality without manual upkeep. There is no spreadsheet to maintain and no content to re-enter.
Getting started
Claiming a TopRec profile takes minutes. An agency connects through Refari, its profile populates from existing data, and verified reviews begin to build a public, independent record of the service it provides. More than 500 recruitment agencies are already on the platform. The agencies that win over the next few years will be the ones that can prove their reputation, not just describe it. TopRec is how they do it.
