# Rare Skill Candidate Search

> Know everyone who has the skill you need. A routine Jane, the AI employee from Forge AI, runs for staffing and consulting firms.

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

### 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.
