For search firms and in-house talent leaders

Find candidates your current research misses.

You run the search. We run the research. Dozens of research agents work your brief from every angle, in the depth one researcher never could. The long-list goes beyond the usual suspects.

The reach problem

Your long-list is limited by what one person can search, and how much they can read.

Limited search angles

One direction. Maybe two.

Adjacent sectors never surface. Not because they don't exist, because nobody searched from that direction.

Limited processing depth

Hundreds of profiles, skimmed.

The candidate who maps perfectly to your brief gets missed — no one read closely enough to see the fit.

Your time

The work only you can do.

On urgent briefs you do it yourself, pulled away from BD, clients, and assessment.

What you get

A ranked candidate list, and the workspace to act on it.

Three views of the same engagement: the candidate list you take away, and the optional workspace to run outreach and share a client-ready cut.

What clients say

“Cruvo is genius. The system has revolutionised how I research the candidate market, saving huge amounts of time. The additional information provided alongside each profile also enables tailored approaches to candidates that wouldn't be possible with the previous way in which we worked.”
James Cowley · Legion Search

How it works

No onboarding. No setup.

  1. STEP 01

    Send the brief.

    Email, a call, the JD you already sent the client. Whatever you have. No forms, no portal, no template.

  2. STEP 02

    Dozens of agents work it.

    Each agent runs its own line of research, scores every candidate against the brief, and issues a verdict with the reasoning behind it.

    Find a Group CFO for a UK-listed PE-backed industrial with prior exit experience.

  3. STEP 03

    You get the list.

    Ranked, assessed, wired into outreach and a client-ready slate. If it isn't right, we rework it until it is.

Common questions

What you'd want to know before sending a brief.

Do you know my sector?

We've delivered briefs across technology, defence, life sciences, fintech, and energy. The research adapts to the brief, not to a fixed database.

What if the first list isn't right?

We refine based on your feedback. The brief evolves, so does the research. We iterate until the list works for you.

How is this different from a database?

Dozens of research agents each take a different angle on your brief and search independently across sectors, geographies, and career paths. The output is assessed and contextualised against your criteria, not raw results.

Is this confidential?

Every brief is treated as confidential. Happy to sign an NDA before we start.

Do we have to use your workspace?

The candidate list lives in the workspace alongside your outreach tracking, so most of the work happens there. You can export to CSV anytime if you want a copy outside it.

What happens to the contacts after the brief?

They stay in your Rolodex. Every brief compounds the firm's contact base.

Is this for in-house teams too?

Yes. Most useful for in-house leaders running senior or hard-to-fill hires. The arguments are the same: deep reading, days not weeks, a research team you don't have to staff.

Let's talk about your next brief.

We'll walk through a recent search and discuss whether it fits your workflow.
