Built around how recruiters think.

Not a database with a search box bolted on. A search engine designed from the ground up for hiring.

Semantic

Search the way you brief

Type the role the way you would explain it to a recruiter. Vitae understands seniority, stack, domain, and intent. Not just keywords.

Rubric

Ranked against your bar

Every shortlist is scored against the role rubric you defined: must-haves, nice-to-haves, deal-breakers. Reasoning shown per candidate.

Your database

Start with the people you know

Review candidates, imported records and talent pools in one recruitment workspace. Keep your team working from the same history.

Live

Keep the relationship in context

Use the information recorded in Vitae to revisit past candidates. Confirm current availability with the person before starting a new process.
