# Welcome to Recruitier
> The AI-powered recruitment platform that helps Dutch recruiters find candidates, discover clients, and close more placements -- faster.
## What is Recruitier?
Recruitier is an AI-powered recruitment platform built specifically for Dutch recruiters.
It combines intelligent job search, candidate matching, client discovery, and outreach
automation into a single workspace -- so you can spend less time on manual research and
more time building relationships that lead to placements.
Whether you are an independent recruiter or part of an agency team, Recruitier gives you
the tools to work faster and smarter across every stage of the recruitment process.
## Who is Recruitier for?
Recruitier is designed for recruitment professionals operating in the Dutch market:
* **Independent recruiters (ZZP'ers)** who need an all-in-one platform to manage candidates, jobs, and client relationships without juggling multiple tools
* **Recruitment agencies** looking to give their team shared access to searches, companies, outreach templates, and performance analytics
* **Business development specialists** focused on finding and winning new clients by leveraging real-time hiring activity data
* **Sourcers and researchers** who need to identify companies that are actively hiring in specific industries or regions
Recruitier's interface is available in both Dutch and English. Dutch is the default
language, but you can switch at any time from the Settings page. Your language preference
is personal and does not affect other team members.
## Core Value Proposition
Traditional recruitment involves hours of manual searching across job boards, copying
information into spreadsheets, and guessing which companies might need your help. Recruitier
replaces that workflow with AI-driven automation at every step.
**AI-Powered Job Matching** -- Upload a candidate's CV, and Recruitier's AI extracts their
skills, experience level, and preferences. It then continuously scans thousands of job
listings across the Dutch market to surface the best matches, ranked by relevance. The
matching algorithm weighs title relevance (35%), skills alignment (45%), and experience
fit (20%) to produce a score between 0 and 100 for every job.
**Client Discovery** -- Instead of cold-calling random companies, Recruitier helps you find
businesses that are actively hiring in your niche. Filter by industry, location, company
size, technology stack, and hiring activity to build a targeted prospect list. Staffing and
recruiting agencies are automatically excluded from results, so you only see real potential
clients.
**Outreach Automation** -- Once you find the right opportunity or client, compose and send
personalized emails or LinkedIn messages directly from the platform. Set up multi-step
outreach flows with customizable tone of voice and pitch decks. Messages are sent from your
actual email inbox (Gmail or Outlook) so recipients see your real email address.
**Team Collaboration** -- If you work as part of an agency, share searches, company records,
outreach templates, tones of voice, pitch decks, and internal notes with your colleagues
through agency-wide collaboration. Track individual recruiter performance through the agency
dashboard.
## Main Features at a Glance
Upload CVs or import from LinkedIn. AI extracts skills with confidence scores, identifies
experience level, and builds a structured profile. Set location radius and salary
expectations to power precise job matching.
Create smart searches that scan LinkedIn, Indeed, and other sources. AI classifies each
result as an excellent, good, or poor match. Link searches to candidates for personalized
scoring, or run standalone searches to explore the market.
Search a database of thousands of Dutch companies filtered by industry, location,
employee count, technology stack, and real-time hiring activity. Spot companies with
high hiring intensity and reach out before your competitors do.
Build multi-step outreach sequences combining email, LinkedIn, and phone calls. AI
generates personalized messages using your tone of voice and pitch deck. Track
responses and follow up systematically.
Recruitier automatically discovers contact details -- emails, phone numbers, and decision
makers -- for the companies and jobs in your pipeline. Contact data is aggregated from
job descriptions, company websites, LinkedIn pages, and third-party enrichment services.
Invite team members, share resources across your agency, manage seats, and track individual
recruiter performance through analytics. Each team member gets their own workspace with
independent credit allocation.
## How Recruitier Fits Into Your Daily Workflow
A typical day using Recruitier might look like this:
1. **Morning check-in** -- Open your dashboard to see new job matches for your candidates,
notifications about saved client searches, and your credit usage for the period.
2. **Review new matches** -- For each active candidate, review the AI-generated job matches
that arrived overnight. Favorite the best ones, reject irrelevant results, and the AI
learns from your feedback to improve future matches.
3. **Search for new opportunities** -- Create or refine job searches with specific keywords,
locations, experience levels, and job types. Let Recruitier's AI classify and rank the
results for you.
4. **Discover new clients** -- Use Client Discovery to find companies in your niche that are
actively posting jobs. Filter by hiring intensity to focus on businesses with the most
urgent recruitment needs.
5. **Reach out** -- Send personalized outreach emails or LinkedIn messages to hiring managers
and decision makers. Use your saved tone of voice and pitch decks for consistent, on-brand
messaging across your team.
6. **Track progress** -- Update your client pipeline (Prospect, Contacted, Meeting, Won,
Lost), add internal notes, and log activities to keep your team informed.
Recruitier refreshes its job data continuously. New job listings are scraped, classified,
and matched to your candidates and searches automatically -- even when you are not logged in.
You receive real-time notifications via Server-Sent Events (SSE) the moment results are
ready, so you never need to refresh the page to see updates.

## Advanced
### Real-Time Architecture
Recruitier uses a real-time event system to keep you informed without polling or page
refreshes. When you trigger an action (such as a job search or candidate match), the
processing happens asynchronously on the server. The flow works like this:
1. **User action** -- You trigger a search, match, or other AI-powered operation
2. **Background processing** -- The task is queued via RabbitMQ and processed by a worker
3. **Result delivery** -- When processing completes, the result is published to Redis
4. **Browser notification** -- The SSE connection pushes the event to your browser instantly
This architecture means you can navigate to other pages, work on other tasks, or even open
a different tab while processing runs. A toast notification alerts you the moment results
are ready.
### Platform Data Sources
