BUILT FOR RECRUITERS

    Recruit recruiters without reducing people to keywords.

    Laidback turns one technical recruiter brief into an evidence-backed search, a calibrated shortlist and research-led outreach, all reviewed by your team.

    THE BRIEF KEEPS THESE FIXED

    Function and seniority coverage
    Market and geography
    In-house or agency context
    Evidence of search depth

    Laidback surfaces evidence for review. It does not turn a public source into an automatic legal or hiring decision.

    The title is only the beginning.

    Recruiter profiles use the same language even when one runs executive search and another runs high-volume operations.

    Function and seniority coverage

    The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.

    Market and geography

    The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.

    In-house or agency context

    The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.

    Evidence of search depth

    The requirement stays explicit through search, scoring and review instead of disappearing into a keyword query.

    From technical recruiter brief to a shortlist you can defend.

    Your team sets the bar. Laidback does the research, asks the calibration question and brings back evidence before any outreach leaves the building.

    Questions about recruiting recruiters.

    Can Laidback search for recruiters using hard requirements?+

    Yes. Your team can mark requirements such as Function and seniority coverage and Market and geography as non-negotiable. Laidback shows the supporting source so a human can verify it.

    What does Laidback evaluate for recruiters?+

    It evaluates the whole brief, including Roles and teams supported, Market specialisation, Career progression. It does not rank people from title and keyword overlap alone.

    Does Laidback contact candidates automatically?+

    Laidback drafts research-led messages and follow-ups. A human reviews candidate-facing outreach before it sends unless the team explicitly approves a defined workflow.

    Does this replace our ATS or recruiting team?+

    No. Laidback works alongside the team in Slack and writes finished work back to the systems you already use. Human judgment stays with your team.

    How can we check why someone was shortlisted?+

    Every recommendation includes the evidence and reasoning behind it. The same calibrated brief produces the same scoring logic, making the shortlist inspectable and reproducible.
