Dibs is the hiring desk for design studios, starting with architecture practices. Your own applicants, designers Dibs introduces and candidates from your recruiters land in one place, each stamped with the moment they arrived. You always know who got there first.

Every candidate is timestamped the moment they reach you: when they apply, when they say yes to an intro, or when they confirm a recruiter's submission. The first one has dibs, and nobody argues about the fee.
Four ways in. One desk.
3.75% on hire
Designers who pick you.
A designer finds your studio on Dibs and taps I'd work here. Half the price of an intro.

One screen
runs your hiring.
Start the day on your shortlist. Every candidate shows where they came from, when they got there and how warm they are, so you know who needs a reply.
Your data stays yours.
Built by Stephen Drew, who founded Architecture Social, a recruitment business for architects, and has watched the same CV arrive from three agencies too many times. Dibs started as the desk he built for himself. Now it is built for the people who do the hiring.
01
Kept apart.
Architecture Social's recruitment team never sees your Dibs account, your roles or your candidates. Recruiters see only the roles you invite them to.
02
Consent, every time.
No designer's details reach you without their yes. Recruiters' candidates confirm every submission in Dibs. Dibs never scrapes profiles, and designers never pay.
03
Outcomes, not secrets.
Dibs learns from outcomes, not your secrets. Outside AI companies never train on your briefs, notes or candidates. Dibs suggests. A person at your studio decides.
Call dibs.
Put your studio on the list. We'll email you once, on the day early access opens.
