How The Matchmaker works

From brief to shortlist in four automated steps — no CV stacking, no keyword guessing.

1
Brief Ingestion
Reads job brief from your CRM, email, or pasted text. Extracts skills, seniority, location, and cultural signals.
2
Database Scan
Runs every active candidate in your database through a multi-factor scoring model. Weights must-haves above bonus criteria.
3
Match Reasoning
For each top candidate, generates a narrative explanation — not just a score. You understand exactly why each person ranked where they did.
4
Ranked Shortlist
Delivers a ranked longlist and shortlist. Includes availability, rate, and a one-line recommended pitch angle for each candidate.

The full longlist — in seconds

Every candidate in your database scored and ranked. Filter by score, availability, or rate before you make your first call.

Beyond Keyword Search
Understands contextual equivalences — an "IT Architect" with ServiceNow experience ranks above a "ServiceNow Admin" regardless of title matching.
Availability-Aware
Knows which candidates are live, on notice, or recently placed. Never wastes a pitch call on someone who just accepted elsewhere.
Learns Your Preferences
Tracks which matches you accepted or rejected and continuously calibrates scoring to your sector, client, and consultant preferences.
