# Leedo

> Leedo is business-development automation built exclusively for recruitment agencies, executive search firms, and independent recruiters. It finds companies that are actively hiring, identifies the right hiring manager, enriches them with a verified LinkedIn profile and business email, and runs personalized outreach end-to-end from the recruiter's own Gmail or Outlook mailbox. Leedo turns hiring signals into sent emails — other tools stop at the lead.
