"We'd love to hear about your experiences in today's hiring process and if Searchlight would be helpful to you! Thanks for reading."

This isn't a "hair on fire" problem for me. Perhaps your report would nudge me towards interviewing 1-in-5 candidates who I would have otherwise rejected at CV screen. If I want to judge past performance, I'll interview them.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback! We find that Searchlight is most helpful for hiring managers who are time-strapped and have high inbound applicants. We realize that this may lean more towards non-technical, early to mid-level roles more so than engineers.
