Hi there, I came across your profile and think you'd be a great fit for a role we have open. Your background looks impressive and I'd love to connect to tell you more. Let me know if you're interested!
Hi Priya — saw you led the Postgres→Vitess migration at your last role. We've got a Staff Platform Engineer opening where that exact problem is the first 90 days. Job spec's a close match on the infra side — worth a 15-min call?
Nothing about this is hard. That's the problem — it's just the same four steps, over and over, for every candidate on every requisition.
Read a résumé you'll forget within the hour.
Cross-check against a job spec you've read forty times.
Compose something personal enough not to be ignored.
And again. And again, for the next one.
Curlew doesn't replace your judgement on any of it. It removes the retyping — so the thinking is the only part left.
Three steps, once per candidate. Nothing to configure per profile.
Paste it once when you open a req. Curlew keeps up to five active specs on hand.
On Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable, Curlew reads the page. Anywhere else — LinkedIn included — paste the profile text in.
Get a fit score with real strengths and gaps, plus a drafted message. Copy it, read it, send it yourself.
The curlew is a wading bird with a long, down-curved bill, which it uses to probe far beneath the surface of the mud for what nothing else can reach. It seemed like the right name for a tool whose whole job is finding what's buried three paragraphs into someone's résumé.
You're already accountable for how candidate information is handled. Curlew is built not to become a liability.
VAT added at checkout where applicable. Billing handled by Paddle as merchant of record.
Not publicly. It's in private beta with a small group of UK agency recruiters while the rough edges get found. Join the early access list and you'll hear the moment it's on the Chrome Web Store.
Yes, via paste-in rather than automatic reading. LinkedIn restricts automated data collection from its pages, so Curlew never reads LinkedIn's DOM directly — you paste the profile text in, same as you'd paste into any document.
Greenhouse, Lever, and Workable read the candidate page automatically. Any other source — including internal tools and PDFs — works via paste-in.
No, and deliberately so. It produces a score with reasoning and a suggested message. It never accepts, rejects, ranks or filters anyone — every decision stays with you. That matters legally as well as ethically: automated decisions about people carry obligations that advisory tools don't.
Nothing is stored. The text is sent to generate your score and draft, then discarded. Your saved job specs stay in your browser, not on our servers.
Yes — billing runs through Paddle, cancel from your receipt email at any point, no minimum term.
