Named agent - talent intelligence

The AI talent intelligence agent.

Hiring is the most honest thing a company posts: it is a statement, in public, about what it will pay for. The agent reads six job boards for the companies you watch and reports where demand moved and what it costs.

The problem

Anybody hiring into a competitive market is making decisions on anecdote. What does this role actually pay now? Who else is advertising for it? Is demand rising or did we meet three difficult candidates in a row? The data exists - it is in the adverts - but reading a quarter of adverts across a sector by hand is nobody’s job.

The same adverts answer a second question for a different reader. A company’s hiring is the earliest public evidence of where it is going, months before the product that justifies the hire exists.

What arrives
  • Hiring digest - Where demand moved this week, and who moved it.
  • Roles and rates - Requisition volume set against advertised pay.
  • Skills map - Which skills are being asked for together in the same adverts.
  • Competing employers - Who else is advertising into the roles you are hiring for.
  • Rate cards - What a role costs, built from advertised ranges rather than from a survey.
Who does the work

The agents on this job, and how each one proves itself

Each line is the agent's own description from the roster the product runs on, not a paraphrase written for this page.

  1. 01 · Recruiter

    Reads hiring as intent. Job postings, from the boards companies post them on. A requisition is a company stating in public what it will pay for.

  2. 02 · Sifter

    Decides what matters. Every signal carries the score that let it through, and everything held back stays in a log you can read.

  3. 03 · Historian

    Reads the archive backwards. Ninety days read backwards, with near-duplicate coverage of one story merged into one story.

  4. 04 · Analyst

    Writes the brief. The brief, written from the shortlisted signals, with every line tracing to a dated source.

What it does not do
  • Advertised pay is what was advertised. It is not what was offered, and it is not what was accepted - and where a range is absent from an advert, it is absent here too rather than estimated.
  • Coverage is the six boards listed and the companies you watch. A company that recruits only through its own site or through agencies will be under-represented, and the page says which.
  • A requisition is a statement of intent. Roles are posted and not filled, and reposted adverts are merged rather than counted twice.
  • No candidate is profiled. This reads adverts, not people.

Questions

What people ask

Which job boards does it read?
Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters and Recruitee - the applicant tracking systems companies post their own adverts on, read directly rather than through an aggregator.
Where does the pay data come from?
From the adverts themselves, where a range is stated. Nothing is modelled and nothing is imputed, so a role that is usually advertised without a range shows thin coverage instead of a confident number.
Can it tell us a competitor is about to launch something?
It can tell you they are hiring four people to build it, and when they started. That is evidence, and the pages present it as evidence rather than as a launch date.
