Intelligence you can inspect.
A generic model reads a CV and guesses. The engines read it against a real skills taxonomy, live market context and validated instruments, so every match, gap and suggestion traces back to something you can check.
The taxonomy, honestly.
A taxonomy the size of the real labor market, extended and maintained. Skills have relationships: broader, narrower, adjacent. Not just labels. That matters because “Python” isn’t “programming” isn’t “data engineering”, and career transitions live in the adjacencies.
Proficiency, not keywords.
A skill without a level is a keyword. Every skill in the engine carries proficiency, evidence and recency, and matching happens on the full shape, not on word overlap.
what a keyword list knows
Words, without a level. Any CV with the right nouns matches.

Where the evidence comes from.
CVs. Conversations, through Pulse. Your own systems, through connections. Every extracted skill lands in Memory carrying its source and confidence, so six months later, “why do we think she knows this?” has an answer.

The reading: the offer, not the market.
updated Monday 09:00 · sample dataMarket intelligence.
Salary, scarcity and demand: on your open roles, not the labor market in general. When a vacancy has been open for six weeks, the engine can tell you whether that’s the market or the offer.
Psychometrics, done right.
Validated instruments that measure how people work and what drives them, consistently scored and versioned.
The hard line: no AI psychoanalysis, ever. Instruments score; AI never interprets personality from someone’s writing.
