The problem it solves

Sourcing candidates on LinkedIn means scrolling through profiles one at a time, copying details into a spreadsheet, and hoping you don't lose track of who you've already looked at. It's slow work that pulls you away from actually talking to people. A full day of searching can leave you with an incomplete, messy list.

Who it fits

A recruiter or hiring manager sourcing candidates directly on LinkedIn.

How it works

  1. You define the role, skills, and location you're recruiting for
  2. It searches LinkedIn for candidates marked open to work
  3. It captures each candidate's headline, experience, and skills
  4. All profiles are compiled into a Google Sheet you can filter and sort
What you get

Open-to-work candidates in one sheet

You get a sortable sheet of candidates open to work, complete with headline, experience, and skills for your role.

What you get

A Google Sheet of candidate profiles with experience, skills, and location, ready to filter.

What you need

A LinkedIn account and a Google Sheets account.

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.
