Hiring teams used to pay Monster, Indeed Resume, and CareerBuilder thousands per year for access to resume databases — most of which were full of stale uploads. Connecting Odds rebuilds the resume database for free, around live profiles instead of one-off file uploads. Every candidate is a real, updated profile with experience, skills, certifications, posts, and a last-active timestamp — and the entire database is searchable on the free plan.
Traditional resume databases collect PDFs that get uploaded once and never updated. Three months later, the candidate has changed jobs, picked up new skills, and become unreachable through the email on the resume. Connecting Odds replaces that with live profiles — candidates update their experience, skills, and headline as their career evolves, and the last-active date tells you whether the profile is current. That single change makes the database an order of magnitude more useful.
Full work history with role, company, dates, and description. Skills with self-attested and peer-endorsed signals. Education and certifications. Recent posts that show how the person thinks and writes. Connection graph that surfaces mutual contacts. Public profile URL you can share with hiring managers without exporting anything. Resume upload is optional — most candidates apply directly with their structured profile.
Filter by skill, role, seniority, location, remote preference, and last-active date. Save searches and get notified when new candidates match. Build named lists for ongoing roles. Export to CSV when you need to hand off to a paid ATS. Everything is free for small teams; the paid plan adds bulk sourcing and team seats.
Candidates control profile visibility on a per-field basis. By default profiles are public to the recruiter network on opt-in. Anonymous job-seeking mode hides identifying details from current employers. The database respects every candidate's visibility settings, so you never see profiles that the candidate hasn't chosen to make searchable.
