Talent pool search

Searches every past applicant in plain words, "Java developers in Chennai who left a fintech in the last year", and re-engages the best ones.

What it does

A search product over an agency's own candidate database. Past applicants, interview notes and placements are indexed so a recruiter can search the way they think instead of by keywords. Results show why each person matches and how recently they were in touch. The recruiter picks people for a short re-engagement campaign, and replies update each profile.

The problem

Most candidates in the database were never contacted again after their first application. Recruiters paid for new job-board leads while strong past applicants sat unused.

Approach

Resumes and notes are indexed by meaning as well as keywords, so "payments" also finds "UPI" and "card switching". Each result explains its match in one line. Candidates who opted out are never contacted, and the recruiter approves every campaign before it is sent.
