Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask before trying Leadl.recruit — how sourcing works, how candidates are scored, which sources are used and what it costs.

What is Leadl.recruit?

Leadl.recruit is an AI recruiting tool that finds and evaluates candidates for you: it sources people from open professional sources, compares their real experience against your role and returns a scored shortlist with reasoning — not a raw list of profiles.

Is Leadl.recruit an applicant tracking system (ATS)?

No. Leadl.recruit finds and evaluates candidates, while an ATS tracks the ones who already applied. Leadl.recruit works before that stage and fills your pipeline.

What is AI recruiting and how does Leadl.recruit do it?

AI recruiting means using AI to find and evaluate candidates faster. You paste a job description, and the tool sources matching people from open sources and scores them against the role, with an explanation for every score.

How is Leadl.recruit different from a recruiting agency?

An agency does the work for a fee per hire. Leadl.recruit is a tool you use yourself for a fixed subscription — you keep control over the process and the shortlist.

How is Leadl.recruit different from other AI recruiting tools?

Most tools stop at a raw list or a score with no explanation. Leadl.recruit returns reasoning: how well the person fits, what is missing, what the risks are and who to contact first.

How does Leadl.recruit find candidates?

It actively searches open sources for people who match your role — including passive candidates who never apply — instead of waiting for inbound applications.

Can Leadl.recruit find developers?

Yes — this is its strongest case for technical roles: it evaluates engineers by their actual code on GitHub and Stack Overflow, not by a CV alone.

How does Leadl.recruit evaluate candidates?

It compares each person's real experience against the job description and returns a score with reasoning: how well they fit, what is missing, any red flags and who to contact first — not an opaque number.

Is Leadl.recruit an ATS alternative?

For small teams it often is: Leadl.recruit fills and pre-qualifies your pipeline, so a lightweight tracker replaces a heavy ATS. At higher volumes it works alongside one.

How is Leadl.recruit different from a job board?

A job board waits for applications; Leadl.recruit actively finds and pre-qualifies candidates, so you start from a shortlist instead of a pile of responses.

What sources does Leadl.recruit search?

Open professional and community sources — GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, Discord and LinkedIn among them — using publicly available data only.

How much does Leadl.recruit cost?

Pricing is published on the site — a fixed subscription for agencies, small teams and solo recruiters, not enterprise contracts.

How fast will I get a shortlist?

Paste a job description and get a scored shortlist in minutes, not days.

Is candidate data used legally?

Leadl.recruit uses publicly available data and keeps a human in the loop for every decision.

Who is Leadl.recruit for?

Agencies, small in-house teams and solo recruiters who need to find and evaluate candidates quickly without a large sourcing team.
