Candidate sourcing
Write the role the way you would say it out loud, or paste a job ad. Kretsia searches public professional profiles worldwide, ranks the people who fit and marks every requirement met, partial or missing, with evidence from the profile. Then find their work email in one click.
Two kinds of input
These are two different lists, and Kretsia keeps them that way. What they share is the role you wrote: both are read against the same requirements, so you can compare them fairly.
Profiles you source
Kretsia searches public professional profiles worldwide for people who match the role. Most of them have not seen your job ad, so you are the one who gets in touch first. One click finds their work email.
How sourcing worksApplications you receive
CVs and applications that come in for the role. Each one is compared with the same requirements, with the line from the CV that backs it up, so nothing rests on a score alone.
How screening worksWhat you get
Sourcing
Skills, languages, city or country, when you need someone. Write it in normal words, or paste the job ad, and Kretsia searches public professional profiles worldwide for people who match, closest fit first.
Candidate matching
Open a profile next to the role's requirements. An AI judge marks every requirement as met, partial or missing, with evidence from the profile, so you know both sides before you write to anyone.
CV screening
The applications you receive get the same reading. Each CV is compared with the requirements and Kretsia shows the line it took the answer from, plus what it could not find.
FAQ
From public professional profiles around the world: what people have chosen to publish about their work. You can source for roles in any country. Every profile in the list shows where it was found, so you can open it yourself before you reach out.
No. Sourcing finds people who have not applied to you. Screening reads the applications you have already received. They are separate lists with separate inputs, and both are read against the same role.
Yes. Edit the brief and run it again. The ranking, the reasons and the gaps are all rebuilt from the requirements you wrote, so a small change to the role shows up straight away.
Yes. On any person you have sourced, one click finds their work email. If none is found, Kretsia suggests reaching out on LinkedIn instead. Emails already found are reused across your organisation.
No. Kretsia ranks, explains and points out what is missing. You decide who moves on, who waits and who hears back. Nothing leaves the list on its own.
