The engineers you hired to build your own layer
Same result every time. A specific brief comes back as 700 names where 500 don't fit, because it reads your JD as keywords and has no judgment. The more context you give it, the worse it gets.
Claude does the judgment part out loud
You brief it like you would a new hire, and it reasons about the role. It knows a hardware engineer can be an electrical engineer in disguise, flags when a profile is adjacent rather than exact, and tells you why. You see every step, and it says so when it's unsure.
Claude brings the reasoning. Crustdata brings the data and skills.
✓
800M+ profiles, with company history attached to each person
✓
Real-time data that catches people who changed jobs in the last few weeks, often your best passive candidates
✓
The recruiting skills that turn the conversation into a sourcing loop, from the scoring rubric to the ATS push
On its own, Claude can't see live candidate data. Crustdata is what makes it a sourcer.
The whole loop,
in one conversation
the 6 Crustdata skills in Claude that run this workflow
1
Brief
Paste the hiring-manager call and the JD. It builds a rubric with your hard gates and scoring.
2
Search
A first batch of 20 to 25, scored, each with a one-line reason.
3
Calibrate
You provide feedback. "Too senior." "Not really a startup." It learns and reruns.
4
Shortlist
Ask for more batches until you have enough top-tier matches.
5
Enrich
Pull verified email and phone for the shortlist only.
6
Push
It writes to your ATS and triggers outreach, in your voice.

It learns your judgment
Day one it's useful. A few searches in, it sources the way you do, because you taught it how.
✓
✓
State hard gates first (tenure, location,
US person), the wrong profiles never enter
✓
What recruiters say once it clicks
This could replace a person. Rather than hire someone to do sourcing, we do two deals with the same human capital.

Technical recruiting agency
With this workflow I can take on two or three more clients. That's $40,000 to $60,000 a month we'd been turning away.
Mike Cannon
Co-Founder, The Firm
I was at a recruiting event the other day, everyone talking about the tools they're building, and I'm thinking, 'you are so far behind'. People say we've got the secret sauce, and honestly, the system we built with you really is.

Co-Founder, The Firm
The real differentiator versus other tools is your data and infrastructure - the capacity to understand and match profiles better than anyone else.
