Indeed Resume, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Dice TalentSearch all charge for talent search. The cheapest tier of any of them is typically $1,500+ per recruiter seat per year. Connecting Odds offers free talent search with skill, location, seniority, and last-active filters across the full network — no Resume Database license, no per-search fee, no profile-view limit for small teams.
Open the candidate search view, filter by skill (TypeScript, SQL, Figma, accountant, RN, etc.), seniority (intern to executive), location (city, region, remote-friendly), and last-active date (this week, this month, last 90 days). The results are full Connecting Odds profiles, not stripped-down resume snippets. You see the candidate's experience, education, certifications, recent posts, connections, and a public URL you can share with your hiring manager.
The biggest problem with resume-database sourcing on Indeed and Monster is that most resumes are stale — people upload once and forget. Our last-active filter shows you candidates who logged in this week, this month, or in the last 90 days, so you reach people who are actually checking their inbox. Combined with the chronological feed, you can also see who's been posting about their work recently — a stronger signal than any keyword match.
Send a connection request with a short note explaining the role. Once the candidate accepts, messaging is unlimited and free. There's no InMail credit budget, no per-message cap, and no premium tier required to follow up. The connection-gating layer protects candidates from spam, which is why acceptance rates here run 2–3× higher than cold InMail.
Engineers, designers, data scientists, security professionals, recruiters, accountants, healthcare workers, teachers, sales reps — every role type is searchable. Our AI matcher also auto-suggests candidates the moment you post a job, so you can combine active search with passive sourcing.
