Routines / Rare Skill Candidate Search

Rare Skill Candidate Search

When a recruiter names a rare skill in chat, Jane asks what proves someone has it, such as a certification. She searches your applicant tracking system, Forge's 1.2 billion profiles, project news and industry lists, and adds each person to your applicant tracking system with the evidence. The recruiter gets a count by country and the share your firm already knew.

Questions about Rare Skill Candidate Search

What does the Rare Skill Candidate Search routine do?

It finds as many as possible of the people who do a rare job, from your ATS, Forge's candidate database and public project sources, and records them in your ATS with evidence of the work.

How does Jane know someone really does the work?

She asks the recruiter what proves it, such as a machine type or a project, and records the source for each person so the recruiter can check it.

Does Jane contact the people she finds?

No. This routine builds the pool. Outreach runs separately, and a recruiter approves every message.

Can it be rerun to catch new people?

Yes. Ask Jane to run the same niche again and she reports only the people who are new since the last run.
