Your next hire is already in your ATS.
Recruiters often overlook quality candidates already sitting in their CRM or ATS. Here is how to find them again — and fill your pipeline faster.
The departure from a critical role.
The Lead Data announces their departure. 3 months' notice. The team needs a profile able to take over without breaking the rituals — not just a resume that matches.
A classic search would take 6–8 weeks to produce a decent shortlist. With the "similar profiles" feature, the team got a shortlist of 8 candidates in 1 click, using the outgoing Lead's profile as the reference.
How the AI measures similarity.
1024-dimension embeddings over:
- Technical skills and their progression
- Career trajectory (scope changes, role durations)
- Business sector (fintech vs large group vs scale-up)
- Experience style (teams of 5 vs 50, international context)
The final scoring weighs these 4 axes according to the seniority of the role to replace.
Time-to-hire cut in half.
- Classic sourcing — 8 weeks to produce 5 profiles to present
- Similar profiles — 1 click + 5 minutes of human review for 8 profiles
The Lead started their transition 6 weeks before leaving. The handover was done cleanly.
