How it works

Kudo Hires finds them.

Three jobs run by the AI every day: research, sourcing and ranking. You see the result as a shortlist with reasons.

We get the information from every job board and careers website.

New openings, who posted them, and the person who owns the hire.

  • Checked daily across your market
  • Each opening linked to its hiring owner

We search every candidate.

Across the whole market, with every candidate tied to a verified LinkedIn profile.

  • Filters built from the job and your notes
  • No profile, no candidate

We rank them and give you a shortlist.

Each candidate has a score and the reason they fit, and why they might not.

  • Scores update when new signals arrive
  • Reasons you can read in five seconds
