Not just matching resumes — reading talent.

Our proprietary AI layer goes beyond keywords. It evaluates creative output quality, brand alignment, and market positioning — then surfaces the candidates a standard ATS would bury.

01
🖼
Portfolio Signal Analysis

AI scans linked portfolios, case studies, and published work to assess creative range, execution quality, and brand category experience — not just what candidates claim.

Creative depth scoring
02
🧬
Brand DNA Matching

Maps each candidate's career arc against your brand's aesthetic language, market positioning, and tone-of-voice profile. Goes beyond industry — matches brand archetype.

Archetype alignment
03
📡
Influence & Reach Score

For content and social roles, AI quantifies the candidate's own platform presence — audience quality, engagement signal, and niche authority — as a proxy for real-world effectiveness.

Creative Velocity Score

Measures how fast candidates are growing as practitioners — output frequency, project scope increases, skill adoption rate. A stagnant 10-year senior vs. a 3-year rising talent are not the same hire.

Growth trajectory

🛡
Creative Hire Risk Profiler

Creative roles have unique flight risk patterns — agency-side to brand-side tension, freelance temptation, passion project departures. Our AI flags these before you submit the candidate.

Risk-aware shortlisting

One-Click Brief Generator

Turn the AI analysis into a client-ready candidate brief — formatted, brand-appropriate, and defensible. Every claim sourced from structured data, not gut feel.

Client-ready output

The work tells you more than the CV ever could.

For creative roles, the portfolio is the primary signal — but most ATS tools ignore it entirely. Our AI reads linked work and scores it across five dimensions specific to creative output quality.
