/intake) turns a role description into a validated candidate search.
Input
Describe the role in your own words, paste a job description, or attach a PDF, DOCX, TXT, or MD file with the paperclip. As you type, five chips confirm what the system recognized — Location, Job Title, Years of Experience, Industry, Skills. Location accepts a city (“Detroit, MI”), a state, “USA” for nationwide, or “remote”. Written-out numbers (“Eight (8) or more years”) are understood. Two modes: Candidates (find people for a role) and Clients (find firms with open roles — calibrates at the firm level, and pauses for your approval before the paid org-chart scan). The model selector picks extraction strength: Haiku (fastest), Sonnet, or Opus.What runs when you send
1
Pool search — free
Your workspace’s already-enriched candidates are searched semantically first. Warm
matches cost nothing and arrive already enriched; matches that fail this search’s
gates are skipped, not imported.
2
Discovery
Google X-ray queries built from the criteria. Small markets automatically widen:
the commute radius scales with market density, and searches near small towns add
the nearest sizable city (“Findlay” also searches “Toledo”).
3
Enrichment
HarvestAPI scrapes each new profile (cached 60 days — re-surfaced profiles are
free). Anonymized “LinkedIn Member” results are dropped before costing anything.
4
Gates, scoring, and the qualification loop
Hard gates reject clear mismatches with a named reason; everyone else gets a
JD-weighted score. The pipeline searches deeper until it holds at least 10
enriched candidates at 85+ (or your requested count), then reports either the
economics line or a scarcity report naming what’s binding. See
Search Quality & Scoring.
Reading the results
- Tiers: A (85+, qualified) · B (70–84) · C (55–69) · D (below, or gated).
- Gated rows show their reject reason inline (“out of area”, “missing required skill: cpa”) — a zero always explains itself.
- Signal chips: tenure, move-ready, people leader, open-to-work, and per-search fit signals.
- Click any row for the full profile — and record an Accept / Maybe / Reject verdict; these labels calibrate scoring to your team’s standards over time.
- Find more searches deeper on the same scan; CSV exports the ranked list with subscores, tier, and reject codes.
