How we do it

Atlas doesn't match keywords.
It checks every profile.

1.

Describe the role, not keywords

Write what you need in your own words. Atlas turns it into requirements it can check.

Your role

Senior backend engineer in Berlin, Go and Kubernetes, five years or more

becomes checkable requirements
Backend roleBerlinGoKubernetes5+ years
2.

One search across 1 bn+ profiles

One search across over 1 billion public profiles from the whole web, plus your own pool. Everything comes together in one result list.

3.

AI checks every single profile

No keyword match. Each profile is checked against every requirement, with a reason for each. Must-haves like the current employer are hard rules.

A shortlist that holds

Almost every hit fits. And one click finds a verified business e-mail, only if it is provably the same person.

Beyond search

The best search is only the start.

LinkedIn and e-mail in one inbox

Automated outreach with follow-ups. Every conversation per talent in one place, and a warning before anyone writes twice.

Deep Context, when context matters

An extra option: first find the companies, then the people who were there at the right time, like the team that took N26 from Series A to B.

Voice pre-screening

AI interviews take the first conversation, in several languages.

Your talent network stays

Every talent you find is kept. The network stays free, and you see who is open to a move.

Start free

Search, screening and interviews run on free credits. Upgrade when you need more.
