For engineering and IT desks

Skills, not keywords

Keyword search is why technical recruiting has a reputation problem. It matches the CV that lists the word and misses the engineer who has done the thing for six years under a different name. Matching against the live job spec is the difference between a search and a shortlist.

What a keyword search returns

The CV that lists the word ten times
The person who wrote it in 2014
Not the one who has shipped it for six years
Not the adjacent skill that would do

Engineers can tell within one message whether you understood the role. Most do not reply.

What actually makes this desk hard

The good ones are not looking

The engineer worth placing has a job, ignores InMail, and has been messaged four times this month by someone who clearly did not read their profile. Outreach that is not specific is worse than no outreach.

Screening needs technical judgement you may not have

Deciding whether six years of one framework transfers to another is a real technical question, and it is being asked by someone whose background is sales. Guessing wastes both the client's time and the candidate's.

Speed decides it

Strong technical candidates are in three processes at once. A two-day gap between a good CV arriving and a human reading it is how you lose people you had already won.

What changes when it all runs in one place

01

Match against the job, not against a string

AI relevancy scoring ranks candidates against the live job spec, so adjacent and equivalent experience surfaces instead of being filtered out by a keyword that happened not to appear.

02

Source where the engineers actually are

The Chrome extension runs on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter: capture the profile, enrich the verified email and mobile, see the match score against your live jobs, and add them to a sequence in the same action.

03

Make the skills structured

Skills as master data, re-parse a CV to refresh skills, education and employment without touching your notes, and custom fields for the stack detail that matters in your niche — all of it searchable.

04

Outreach that reads like a person

AI writing assistance with your own tone and language preferences, running through sequences across email, SMS and WhatsApp. Specific enough to answer, automated enough to actually send.

05

Screen before you call

A candidate brief written from the CV and a scorecard against the job's own criteria, so the first conversation starts at the technical questions rather than at confirming what is already written down.

06

Move at the speed the market does

Applications deduplicated and scored on arrival, submissions to the client's contact straight from the record with a branded CV, and interviews scheduled against synced calendars.

The difference engineers notice

Relevancy scoring against the live spec

The job description is the query. Candidates are ranked on how well their actual experience fits the role as written, which surfaces the adjacent skill and the transferable stack that a keyword filter throws away.

Questions this desk asks

Does this replace a technical screen?

No. It decides who is worth a technical screen. The scoring and the generated brief cut the list to the people whose experience genuinely fits the spec; the conversation is still the conversation.

Can we search for stack combinations rather than single skills?

Yes. Skills are structured master data and advanced search combines them with your own custom fields, so a combination is a filter rather than a hopeful keyword string.

Does the extension work on Sales Navigator and Recruiter?

Yes — LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter. Capture, enrichment, matching against live jobs, sequencing and submitting to a job all work from the panel without leaving the page.

What about contract and day-rate work?

Same database. Job types and workflows are yours to define, and placements, fee stages and invoicing through Xero or QuickBooks cover contract billing on the same record as the search that produced it.
