- Every weekmarket signals, matched only to your brief
- No public CVno broadcast search, and no directory to browse
- Never in your nameWhisper does not contact an employer. Every outside step is yours
- Fact or inferenceeach signal tells you plainly which it is
The problem with looking
Every way of looking can be seen.
You cannot take back a word to a recruiter. So a sitting CIO often does nothing, and hears about the seat after it has gone.
Try it
Set a brief. See a week.
Every signal is matched only to your brief, so it is custom from the first week. Change the brief below, and watch what reaches you change with it.

A signal is not a vacancy, and Whisper says so
- Verified fact
A traceable observation from a verified or corroborated source.
- Whisper inference
An interpretation of the evidence, kept visibly apart from fact, with its limits stated.
- Confirmed mandate
A role backed by an employer confirmation, a public job posting or a regulatory disclosure. Inference alone can never earn this label.
Where seats begin
Senior seats begin as events.
By the time a role is advertised, the people it was meant for have often already heard. Whisper reads the start of the line.
- Whisper reads hereSomething happens
A new investor, a filing, a departure, a demerger.
- The board talks
Is the IT estate holding the business back? Is the person running it the one to fix it?
- A search begins
A firm is briefed, often in private.
- Job boards start hereA role is advertised
If it ever is. Many senior seats are filled before this.
What it reads
- Regulatory filings
- Board announcements
- Leadership changes
- Funding rounds
- M&A activity
- IPO activity
- Business news
- Tenders
- Conferences

Before you decide
The questions we are asked first
How can a CIO look for a job confidentially?
A CIO can search confidentially by using an agent that watches the market instead of announcing the search. Whisper reads filings, board announcements, acquisitions and leadership changes against a brief you set, tells you what has moved each week, and never contacts an employer in your name. Your vendors and your team see no sign that you are looking.
How much does the Whisper Job Search Agent cost?
₹25,000 a month plus GST, with a minimum of 2 months. You pay for the first 2 months together.
Are Whisper and the Job Search Agent different things?
No. They are one service. Whisper is the agent that runs your job search in silence.
Why a minimum of 2 months?
Senior roles do not open on a timetable, so one month is too short to judge it. You pay for the first 2 months together.
What happens after 2 months?
It continues month to month at ₹25,000 plus GST. We send you a payment link each month and nothing is debited automatically, so you can stop at any time by not paying it.
Can employers find me through Whisper?
No. There is no member directory, public résumé bank or public activity feed, so employers cannot browse Whisper to discover you.
Does Whisper get me a role?
No one can promise a role, and we do not. It tells you where one may be opening, early and quietly. The next step is yours.
Senior seats begin as events, long before they are advertised.
₹25,000 a month plus GST, minimum 2 months. It keeps watching while you keep running IT.
