Recruitment forgets. We're building the memory.
Every search starts from zero. Every candidate relationship lives in someone's head. Every recruiter rebuilds the same knowledge, every time, and the industry's default answer is a LinkedIn licence at €2.000 per seat per year.
The manifesto
Recruitment is not a search problem.
We think that's backwards. The value in recruitment isn't the search bar; it's everything a team learns while using it: which profiles reply, what a client actually means by senior, who you already spoke to and why it didn't fit.
What the team learned
-
Alex W. replies within hours, twice now reply pattern -
Marta K. wants scope, not a title what moves them -
Sofia R. passed in 2025, fits this role now why it did not fit
kept, and used on the next search
The idea
Everything feeds the brain. Everything gets smarter.
So we're building the internal brain of recruitment. European data, explainable matching, and a memory that compounds per client, per role, per conversation. After a year it knows your business like your best consultant does, and it doesn't leave.
