THE OPEN PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
What is Icebreaker?
Icebreaker is the world's first open professional network that helps organizations discover warm referrals within their existing networks. Unlike traditional platforms that optimize for engagement, Icebreaker focuses on trust-based connections and verifiable credentials to surface high-quality candidates and opportunities.
Who is Icebreaker for?
Companies use Icebreaker Teams to supercharge hiring through warm introductions to trusted candidates and network connections.
Professionals make connections while maintaining control of their own networking data and identity.
How is Icebreaker different from LinkedIn?
Icebreaker is fundamentally different from traditional platforms:
Network-first approach finds talent through trusted connections rather than cold outreach
Built-in verification system for authentic professional profiles
Open architecture with user-controlled data and no platform lock-in
Trust-based discovery surfaces candidates based on recommendations from your network
Free core networking features with powerful search capabilities.
Can Icebreaker integrate with existing ATS (like Greenhouse or Ashby)?
Yes, Icebreaker is designed to plug into your existing recruitment stack. Icebreaker operates as a talent discovery and networking layer that works alongside any ATS system. Use Icebreaker to discover and map intros to potential candidates through your network, exporting them as leads to your existing ATS.
Do we need to migrate data from current systems?
No migration is required. Icebreaker works by connecting to your team's existing professional profiles (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.), building a network map based on these existing connections, and allowing you to search and discover talent through this network. Your existing recruitment data, processes, and workflows remain untouched in your current systems.
Can Icebreaker be used for Sales?
While Icebreaker Teams are initially designed to help recruiting teams supercharge their hiring, the same referral based lead discovery and intro routing features can be used for sales and other business development activities.
