08FAQ

What recruiters ask us most

How is this different from my ATS search?

Keyword search finds the words you typed. Candidately rebuilds your candidate database as a semantic index from scratch. It understands that "Big 4" means Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG. That C# and .NET are related. That "senior" means different things in different contexts. The difference is obvious from the first query.

Does this replace our ATS?

No. Candidately sits on top of your existing ATS as a search and intelligence layer. Your data stays where it is. Your workflows don't change.

Our data is a mess. Will this still work?

Yes. The parsing engine was built for the reality of recruitment databases: inconsistent formatting, missing fields, duplicate entries. Candidately normalizes and enriches your data automatically. No cleanup project required before you start.

How long does it take to see results?

Most teams run their first search within hours of connecting their ATS. The parsing engine indexes your database in the background, so you can start searching immediately while enrichment continues. No weeks-long onboarding or training required.

How do you handle our candidate data?

We never train external models on your data. All processing happens privately within your environment. GDPR and CCPA compliant, with end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and full audit logging.

What do my recruiters still do?

Everything that actually makes placements. Candidately handles search and initial matching, the slow, repetitive, inconsistent part. Your consultants still read between the lines, build relationships, and close deals. They just get to that work faster.
