Talent Matching
Every role you have ever posted left behind hundreds of qualified people. Scout searches your entire applicant history, ranks everyone by fit for the new role, and surfaces the ones worth a call.
Most applicant databases are where good candidates go to be forgotten. Someone applies, the timing is wrong, and they slip into a folder no one ever opens again.
Scout turns that pile into a living talent pool. When a new role opens, it searches every past applicant, scores them for fit, and resurfaces the ones who match, including the strong runners-up you almost hired.
Your next hire does not have to be a stranger you source from scratch. More often than you would think, they are already in your pool, waiting to hear from you.
Bring a CSV, a spreadsheet, a folder of old resumes, PDFs, even plain text. Scout reads them all, maps the columns for you, and builds a profile for every person. No template to match and no cleanup.
Scout pulls the experience, skills, and a short summary out of each resume, so a messy pile of files turns into a pool you can actually search and compare.
Search the pool in plain language and Scout ranks everyone by how well they match, even people who applied for a different title or never used those exact words, so the strongest silver medalists rise to the top.
Scout drafts the note and reaches each match on the channel they are most likely to answer, so reconnecting with a past applicant takes a moment instead of an afternoon.
The math of rediscovery
the average cost to source and screen one new hire
You already spent most of that on the people in your pool. They were sourced, screened, and often interviewed, then left to go cold in a database no one reopens.
Rediscovering a past applicant reuses that investment instead of paying it again from zero.

Runners-up already made it deep into your process once. Companies like GE and Google built hiring programs around resurfacing them, because a near-miss is a far safer bet than a cold stranger.
LinkedIn Talent Solutions, on silver-medalist hiring
Filling a role from scratch takes about 44 days on average. Someone already in your pool skips sourcing and most of screening, so the same hire can happen in a fraction of the time.

Candidate rediscovery is finding people who already applied to you and matching them to a new role, instead of sourcing strangers from scratch. Scout does it automatically: when a role opens, it searches your whole applicant history and resurfaces the ones who fit.
