You describe the role in plain language. AI maps that brief to skills, experience, and work patterns — then ranks candidates by match confidence instead of resume keyword overlap.
After AI maps skills from your brief, you can tune which are must-have, which to boost, and which stay optional. Ranked results update as you shift weight — so the shortlist reflects how you actually hire.
Use a one-time search when you need a shortlist today. Use an agent when the role is open-ended, hard-to-fill, or part of an ongoing hiring program — agents keep sourcing in the background and surface new matches as they appear.
Strong matches from AI Recruiting save directly into My Talent. You can tag them, group them into talent pools, and hand them off to Outreach when the timing is right — all in the same workflow, no exports.
Yes. Anyone in My Talent — saved from search, surfaced by an agent, or added manually — can move into a multi-step outreach campaign with timing and messaging you control.
No. Hiring iQ works across external candidates, internal talent, and adjacent-skilled employees who could move into cyber roles. The same search and ranking logic applies to all three.
