    Sourcing coverage honesty, not vanity metrics

    ● Live example

    How a role becomes a shortlist.

    A full-stack product engineer at an AI startup in Bengaluru. The founder had a live opening and no brief. We pasted the link and let Hopper do the work, with no recruiter in the loop.

    1

    Decode

    Hopper read the posting for what the role actually needs: TypeScript and Next.js, Postgres, a product shipped to production, LLM experience. It also caught the hard constraint: in-office, Bengaluru.

    2

    Source

    It searched the open web in three keyword rounds across GitHub, LinkedIn, Peerlist and startup talent pages, focused on Bengaluru, and set aside job-listing pages that point to roles, not people.

    3

    Rank

    Every candidate was ranked on public evidence only, with the evidence Hopper relied on and the gap it couldn't verify. It said plainly that no one covered all four must-haves.

    Shortlist

    Hopper hands back the top picks, each with the evidence it relied on and the gap it could not verify. A human at iView brokers any intro, so you decide who to talk to.

    What the founder gets. A ranked shortlist with proof for every pick, and a human at iView to broker the intro.
    What Hopper doesn't do. It doesn't scrape private email addresses, send bulk unsolicited mail, or hide a weak match. Every pick shows its evidence and its gap.
    What candidates do when Hopper reaches them. Hopper tells each person it matched them to a specific role. People who are a fit and open to it say so, and the founder only meets people who said yes.
