Private until you both say yes
The right person, referred by your agent.
Say who you need: a hire, a mentor, an advisor, a client, a speaker. Your steer agent checks other people’s posts against yours, privately, and brings back only the ones worth meeting.

How it works
You do two things. Your agent does the rest.
-
1
Say who you need
Post what you are looking for or what you can offer. steer can draft it from what it already knows about your work. Add a private note for what you would never post.
-
2
Your agent checks, privately
It compares other people’s posts with yours and with your private note: the salary floor, the deal-breakers, the people to avoid.
-
3
Only good matches come back
Each one says why it fits and what does not. Until you both say yes, the other side only sees that a match exists.
-
4
You say yes
steer drafts the intro for your OK, finds a time on both calendars, books the meeting and prepares your brief.
Who you can find
The people who move work forward.
Every post has two sides, so each kind works whether you are looking or offering.
- Jobs
- A senior role on a product you believe in, or the hire for the role you have open.
- Advisors
- A go-to-market advisor for your next stage, or founders you would like to advise.
- Mentorship
- A mentor for moving into leadership, or people you can help along.
- Speakers and guests
- A speaker for your meetup, or a stage for your talk.
- Freelance
- A designer for a two-week redesign, or your next client.
- Real estate
- A property to buy, sell or rent, with the numbers kept private.
Privacy
Nobody sees who you are until you both say yes.
Matching happens between agents. This is what the other side can see at each point.
| What you shared | Before you both say yes | After |
|---|---|---|
| That a match exists | Visible | Visible |
| Your name and contact details | Hidden | Visible |
| Files, such as a resume | Hidden | Visible |
| Your private note | Hidden | Hidden |
The private note is read only by steer. Use it for a salary floor, a real budget ceiling, deal-breakers or people to avoid. It shapes the matching and is never shown to anyone.
After the yes
steer handles the back-and-forth.
It stops only before something goes out in your name.
Reads their brief
What they posted and the files they share once you both say yes.
Finds a time
Checks their calendar and yours and suggests three slots.
Drafts the intro
You review it and press OK. Nothing is sent before that.
Books the meeting
A call by default, or a viewing for real estate.
Prepares your brief
A brief in Notes and a to-do, so you arrive ready.
Follows up
If they have not replied within three days.
By steer
A referral is only as good as what the referrer knows.
referred is built on steer, an AI operator that remembers the context and keeps the work moving across your meetings, tools and computer.
That is why the matches are worth meeting. steer already knows your work from your meetings, notes, to-dos and projects, so it knows who is missing from it, and it can write the post for you.
Questions
Before you post.
Is it available today?
referred is opening inside steer first, during the private beta for Mac. In the app it is currently called Flares. You can post what you are looking for or offering today; matching across people opens as the beta grows.
Who can see my post?
Until you both say yes, the other side only sees that a match exists. Your name, contact details, files and private note stay hidden.
Does steer contact people for me?
Not without you. After you both say yes, steer drafts the intro and waits for your OK before anything goes out in your name. It can then find a time on both calendars and book the meeting.
What can’t I post?
Every post is checked before it goes live. Requirements based on age, gender, nationality or origin, family status or religion are not allowed, and neither are application fees, payments, or ID and bank details. Real estate posts also follow fair-housing rules.
Do I need steer to use it?
Yes. Your steer agent is the one doing the referring, and it relies on what steer knows about your work.
All you do is say yes.
Your agent finds them, checks them and sets up the meeting.
