Overview

Candidately is the AI workspace for recruitment agencies. We sit on top of Bullhorn and other major ATS platforms and give every recruiter on the team the speed and reach of the best biller in the building.

One platform, five products. Rediscovery uses semantic search to find candidates the ATS already has but Boolean search can't surface. Sourcing reaches 250+ million web profiles when the database falls short. Resume Builder turns a raw CV into a branded, client-ready document in seconds. Client Portal replaces email threads with a white-labeled space where hiring managers review, shortlist, and respond. Talent Marketplace puts a searchable candidate directory on agency websites so clients come to you.

Agencies have spent years building candidate databases worth millions. Candidately makes that investment actually pay off, from first search to final placement.
