AI matching

Shortlists in seconds, with the reasoning

Run AI Match on a job and Crumblelead finds the strongest candidates already in your database, reads each one against the role, and tells you why they fit, what to verify and what's missing.

In the one $30 plan. 14 days free, no card required.

Strong fits from your database, each with the reasoning, and a deeper check on any one candidate.

How it works

From a job description to a shortlist you can defend

01

Every profile is understood

When a candidate or job is added or updated, Crumblelead builds an AI profile of it in the background. CVs are read, and industries and functional areas are worked out from the experience.

02

Matched on meaning, not keywords

When you run AI Match, Crumblelead finds the candidates whose background is closest to the role in meaning, so "payments engineer" can surface someone who built checkout systems.

03

Each one is reviewed

An AI reviewer reads the closest candidates against your job description and requirements, and scores how well each one fits the role.

04

Only the strong fits come back

Weaker matches are dropped, and the rest are ranked with plain-English reasons: why they fit, what to verify and what isn't on their CV.

Where you use it

Three ways to find your best fits

AI Match on every job

Open a job, go to the AI Match tab and click Run AI Match. You get your strongest candidates who are not on the job yet, each with a summary and the reasoning. Add any of them to the pipeline in one click.

A deeper check on one candidate

Open a candidate in a job's pipeline and run AI Match there for a score out of 100, a short verdict, scores for experience, skills, industry and seniority, and fits and concerns backed by evidence from their CV.

Ask Crumble

Ask Crumble "who fits the Senior React role?" or "who has aviation experience?" and it searches by meaning, showing each candidate with the reason they came up.

Why it helps

Your database, working harder for you

Rediscover people you already have

Good candidates from last year's searches come back into view, instead of paying to find them again.

Shortlists you can explain

Every match comes with its reasons and its gaps, so you can brief a client with confidence and spot what to check on the call.

Less wading through lists

You get a handful of strong fits to act on, not a long list of keyword hits to sift through.

Private to your agency

Matching only ever looks at your own team's candidates, and candidates you have erased under GDPR are never included.

FAQ

Questions recruiters ask

Does it search my whole database?

Every candidate with an AI profile is considered. Crumblelead first finds the ten whose background is closest to the role, then an AI reviewer scores those ten and returns the strong fits. Candidates who are already on the job are skipped, so you only see new options.

Why does it say "Preparing job profile"?

A brand-new job needs a moment for its AI profile to be built in the background. Try again after a few seconds. The same applies to candidates you have just added.

How do I get better matches?

Give the job a proper description and requirements; AI Match needs a little detail to work with. For the deeper check on one candidate, filling in the recruiter briefing and uploading their CV makes the result much more specific.

Does it look at salary, notice period or right to work?

No. Matching focuses on the role, experience, skills and background. Check salary, notice period, location preferences and right to work yourself before you submit anyone.

Does AI decide who gets shortlisted?

No. AI Match suggests and explains; you decide. Nobody is added to a pipeline unless you click Add to Pipeline.

Is it included in my plan?

Yes. AI matching is part of the one Crumblelead plan, including your 14-day free trial, with no per-match charge.
