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.
See it in action
A live search goes from a one-paragraph brief to a scored shortlist,
including the moment a wrong profile gets corrected out
and the nextbatch fixes it.

The Firm
"In other AI recruiting tools,
out of 700 people shown, 500 aren't a fit. Crustdata shows 50 to 60 people that are great fits and that's a huge jump in quality."

It learns your judgment
Day one it's useful. A few searches in, it sources the way you do, because you taught it how.
✓
Show it resumes of people you actually hired,
it calibrates to that signal
✓
State hard gates first (tenure, location,
US person), the wrong profiles never enter
✓
Say "more like this one, never like that one,"
it remembers the rejection
The cadence that works. Start with 20, give feedback,
get 20 more, two or three times, then ask for 50.

It was already thinking the way that I would think.

Partner, hardware exec search
This could replace a person. Now we do two deals with the same human capital.
Layla Park
Partner, engineering search
My 100 percent matches, I shouldn't even have to look at those. I skip the bottom, I trust the top, and I spend my judgment on the middle.
