AI candidate rediscovery that searches an existing ATS database in plain language.
Candidate Search AI lets recruitment agencies query their own applicant-tracking system in plain English and receive AI-ranked matches without Boolean strings. It surfaces candidates that keyword search misses, so a request for a Django engineer also returns Python developers, and shortens the time needed to build a shortlist.
The product runs on top of an existing ATS rather than replacing it, connecting through integrations such as Bullhorn so recruiters keep working in their current system. It is one of five AI tools Candidately offers staffing firms, alongside sourcing, resume formatting, and client presentation features.
