The problem it solves

Sifting through hundreds of LinkedIn profiles to find people who actually match a role takes hours, and it's easy to miss strong candidates or waste time on weak ones. Doing this for every open role adds up fast.

Who it fits

Recruiters and hiring managers who need a ranked shortlist of candidates without manually reviewing every profile.

How it works

  1. You provide a job description
  2. AI extracts the key requirements from it automatically
  3. The system searches for relevant LinkedIn profiles matching those requirements
  4. Each profile is scraped and scored against skills, experience, and education
  5. Ranked candidates are exported to a Google Sheet
What you get

Candidate shortlists ready for your review

You get LinkedIn candidates found, scored, and ranked against your job description, organized in a spreadsheet ready for you to review.

What you get

A Google Sheet of ranked candidates with match scores against your job requirements.

What you need

A Google Custom Search API, an Apify account, an OpenAI API key, and a Google account for Sheets.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
