One platform, both sides of the hire

Built for recruiters and candidates

The same structured profiles and explainable scoring power both sides — a recruiter's shortlist and a candidate's matches are two views of the same evidence.

For recruiters

A ranked shortlist, with the reasoning attached

Post a role and an agent reads every candidate, screens against your criteria, and surfaces ranked matches you can defend — minutes of judgment instead of hours of triage.

For candidates

Matched on what you can do, not keywords

Build one structured profile and get matched to roles you actually fit — each match shows the strengths, the reasoning, and what to shore up. No black box, no keyword lottery.

How it works

A process you can actually see, from raw application to ranked match.

STEP 01

Build structured profiles

Resumes, integrations, and short conversations roll up into one complete profile. Not keyword scanning, but real, structured information the platform can actually assess.

STEP 02

Screen against your criteria

A clear set of steps scores every candidate against the criteria that matter for the role. Adjust what counts most, swap steps in or out, and add rules, all without writing code.

STEP 03

Surface explainable matches

Ranked shortlists for recruiters. Match insights and fit explanations for candidates. Every score is backed by evidence you can drill into.

For recruiters

Stop reading 250 resumes. Get a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached.

Post a role and a hiring agent goes to work - reading every candidate, drafting outreach, and running first-round screens. You stay in control of every decision.

Recruiter view: candidates ranked by overall fit, with scores, fit levels, and quick actions.
Match detail: overall fit, strengths and gaps from the evaluation, and the screening conversation behind the score.

Ranked, not rummaged

Every candidate is scored against the criteria you defined - work history, skills, location, comp, and screening signal.

Reasoning, not a black box

Each match exposes strengths, gaps, and the screening conversation behind the score.

Agents you can steer

Set what matters per role - must-haves, nice-to-haves, comp, culture signal. The hiring agent screens accordingly.

Outcome

Hours of resume triage compressed into minutes of judgment on the right candidates.

For candidates

Get matched on substance, not on whether your resume guessed the right keywords.

Build a structured profile once. Your agent surfaces roles where you're a real fit, shows you the reasoning behind every match, and gives you personalized recommendations to strengthen your profile before you apply.

A profile structured around you

Skills, experience, and goals captured from your resume, GitHub, and short conversations - with the source of each one shown, and yours to edit.

Matches that make sense

Ranked by genuine fit. Every match comes with strengths, gaps, and the role's reasoning - before you apply.

Tailored resumes & cover letters

One click to generate a resume and cover letter shaped to the role - drawn from your actual profile, not invented.

Transparent feedback

If you aren't a fit, you'll know what was missing. No black-box rejections.

Candidate outcome

Fewer applications to nowhere. The roles you see are the roles a real evaluation says you fit.

FAQ

Quick answers

How is this different from a job board?

Job boards let candidates self-select by applying. Talent Agent's AI evaluates candidates against structured role criteria and surfaces ranked matches with reasoning - so both sides spend less time on poor fits.

Do candidates upload a resume?

Yes - and the platform turns it into a structured profile. Skills, experience, and goals become data that can actually be evaluated, not just text to keyword-scan.

How are candidates scored?

Each candidate runs through a clear set of steps that score them against the criteria that matter for the role. You choose what counts most and can swap steps in or out, no coding required.

Is the AI making hiring decisions?

No. AI produces ranked recommendations with evidence. Every advance, decline, and offer is a human action.

Is candidate identity exposed before recruiters engage?

Evaluation runs on structured profile data. Personal identifiers are revealed only when a recruiter advances a candidate in their hiring process.

Can your team configure how candidates are scored?

Yes. The steps, weights, rules, and screening questions are all yours to configure. System defaults are a starting point, not a constraint.
