One sentence at 9:02. Ranked by 9:06.

Ten people, each judged against the whole brief, each with a reason. Here is what went in, what came out, and how to read it.

The four minutes

From a sentence to a ranked list

9:02

One sentence typed, the way you'd say it to a colleague.

In between

The search looks past the title and the city: other titles for the same work, nearby places. Every person is read in full.

9:06

10 people, ranked. Each one marked against the whole brief, with the reason.

What was typed

Senior Account Executive, B2B software, new business, 4+ years on a quota, Austin

No filters, no job description. The work, one hard limit and the place.

The top 5 of the 10. Real people from one search. Names and employers hidden here; in the app you see the full profile, the reason for the mark, and email and phone.

Row 4 says "Product Specialist", not Account Executive. Ranked on the work, not the title, it is a Strong match. A title search would have missed this person.

How to read it

Three marks, each with a reason

Strong matchFits the whole brief

"Why this match" says what lines up: the work, the years, the place. Start here.

Possible matchFits most of it

The reason names the one thing to check, such as renewals instead of new business. Worth a look after the Strong ones.

Not a matchMisses a hard limit

The reason says which one. Read it once: if the limit was wrong, change the sentence.
