Boolean-search-as-a-service tool for technical recruiters that translates a plain-English role description into optimized multi-platform boolean strings and auto-sources a ranked candidate shortlist
Agency recruiters waste hours hand-crafting boolean strings and still miss candidates because string quality depends on individual expertise
Built for startups and tech companies recruiting engineers.
Win by removing the boolean expertise barrier so junior or non-technical recruiters at agencies can source senior tech talent without a sourcing specialist

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Startups and tech companies recruiting engineers need candidate sourcing and boolean search capabilities. No search volume data, but tech recruiting is a large, recurring need for any company hiring engineers.
Competition & the opening
Extremely crowded: LinkedIn Recruiter (with native AI sourcing), SeekOut, Findem, Gem, Eightfold AI, and hireEZ all target tech hiring with boolean search, candidate databases, and AI-assisted sourcing. LinkedIn's scale and integration dominance make it the default tool for most hiring teams.
What's hard to build
Access to reliable, fresh candidate data requires either partnerships with job boards/LinkedIn (which are gatekept) or building your own scraping/data pipeline to stay current. Recruiter workflows are deeply embedded in LinkedIn's ecosystem, making displacement difficult.
Why now
LinkedIn Recruiter is expensive and opaque; specialized AI sourcing (Eightfold, hireEZ) are vertical-only; a transparent, lower-cost alt for tech roles gains traction.
