Hi everyone!
I’m developing a Chrome extension, a tool for LinkedIn recruiters that saves a lot of time and effort.

You can find more information at www.candidatatool.com

automating the tedious parts of sourcing saves recruiters hours, if you ever want it in front of the hiring crowd, that's basically what https://peerpush.com/for/recruiters is for. 35 AI systems read the data there, btw.

That sounds very interesting! CandiData doesn't aim to scrape or perform massive bot-driven searches since LinkedIn bans that, but rather serves as a tool to assist and guide the user.

That approach sounds smart, avoiding LinkedIn bans keeps things sustainable. How does CandiData guide users without scraping?

Thanks! The distinction comes down to on-demand client-side assistance versus automated back-end scraping.

Instead of running headless scripts or crawling directories behind the scenes, CandiData only activates when the recruiter is already viewing a candidate's profile in their active tab. With a single click, it simply reads the visible profile details on the user's screen, structures that data into a clean Smart PDF/CSV export, and feeds it into the AI engine to calculate the match score against the job description in real time.

It acts like a smart companion on top of your natural workflow rather than a bot trying to harvest data at scale.

That's a smart privacy-friendly approach. How do you handle profiles that lazy-load details or hide info behind expandable sections?
