PeopleFinds new candidates for one open role at a time

Talent sourcer

Give it a role and it writes the bar: must-haves, nice-to-haves, instant noes and where these people tend to work. It then finds real, named people on the public web who clear that bar, checks each one against everyone already in your pipeline, and hands you candidate cards with a source link on every claim. When you pick someone, it drafts a short first message for you to send, and it keeps a dated shortlist so nobody is surfaced or contacted twice.

What it does

  • Turns a job description into a scorecard with must-haves, instant noes and target companies
  • Finds named people on the public web who clear the bar, with a source link on every claim
  • Finds more people like a benchmark candidate you already rate
  • Checks every name against your pipeline export so nobody is surfaced twice
  • Drafts short, specific first messages and follow-ups for you to send
  • Tells you how hard the search is, where these people are and whether the bar is realistic
