The Cognitive
Every stuck search takes one of three routes
Too few people, too many people, or the wrong people. Pick the one you're seeing. Each route has the four usual causes, the fix, and the sentence before and after.
Which route are you on?
Look at the first 10 people your search shows. Then pick one.
In The Cognitive: type the sentence and every person comes back ranked by fit, with the reason from their profile. Read the reasons on the top 10: they tell you which route you're on before you change anything.
Before you change anything
Five checks, in this order. Most stuck searches are fixed by the first one that fails.
Does the search say what the person does? Not the title. The work.
Is the place a commute, not a city name? "Within an hour of Denver", not "Denver".
Are there two must-haves or fewer? Everything else is a nice-to-have for the manager.
Is every must-have something a profile can show? A tool, a licence, a kind of company. Not "hungry" or "team player".
Did you change only one thing since the last search? Change two and you won't know which one worked.
Get your stuck search moving
Type the role as one sentence. More people back, ranked by fit, each with the reason from their profile, plus email and phone for the ones you pick. Or book 30 minutes and we'll fix your stuck search with you.
