Thanks Eddy! :)
I’ve been using this to provide warm intros for my former students who were affected by COVID 19 layoffs. Searchlight’s reference questions are super effective, making great use of my time – they truly get to the root of what it’s like to work with someone. It also feels really good to know that my students can use my references multiple times across their job application process. This will have a meaningful impact on how we think about supporting people in our communities and help our networks make smart hiring choices.

Thank you!
Love that you make writing recommendations not just EASIER but also more EFFECTIVE. I think writing an effective rec is definitely a skill, and in fact a poorly written one is more harm than good. Thanks for making this.

Thanks Norman! Completely agree - we did user interviews before building this to understand the experience and motivations of the recommenders. We realized it actually takes quite a lot of effort to write a good recommendation, especially one that is balanced and unbiased. We designed our product to decrease the effort, because the words of a past colleague is so valuable. Please let me know if you have any feedback to make it even better!
Hiring ain’t easy but search light seems like a great way to find top talent.
