Bring lookalike search to your users

Last updated 1 year ago

You can leverage the Endorsed Platform to bring "lookalike" search to your users, by searching based on a given Candidate or Attachment (e.g., resume).

Think about it like you sending us a top-performing colleague, and we'll send you candidates that match that profile; or sending us a resume of a top performer and we'll send you matching candidates.

The Endorsed Platform Querying API allows for searching based on natural language search, Job match, Candidate match, and Attachment match. To accomplish a lookalike search, you can use either of the latter two:

  1. Search by Candidate

  2. Search by Attachment

  3. Coming soon: Search by LinkedIn URL (contact us if you're interested)

Follow the guide Bring AI-powered candidate search to your users to set up and integrate the Endorsed Platform into your application. The steps are nearly identical, with one exception: rather than sending a string search parameter q=..., you'll send a target_resource_id parameter. The target_resource_id can either be a Candidate ID or an Attachment ID. This must be a resource that you've already imported (see Data Import).

Search by Candidate

Allow the user to select an existing candidate and find more candidates like them.

  1. Ensure your application is set up for searching via the Endorsed Platform by following the guide here: Bring AI-powered candidate search to your users.

  2. Search GET /candidate_rankings and pass in a Candidate ID to the target_resource_id parameter. This must be the ID of a Candidate that exists already in the Endorsed Platform system.

  3. Decorate and display the results.

Search by Attachment

This can enable a really great experience for your users. For example, the user can drag in a resume PDF and search candidates based on that.

  1. Ensure your application is set up for searching via the Endorsed Platform by following the guide here: Bring AI-powered candidate search to your users.

  2. Search GET /candidate_rankings and pass in an Attachment ID to the target_resource_id parameter.

    1. This may be an Attachment that has already been imported from a candidate in your system, or

    2. It can be a brand new Attachment that your user uploads (see ) which is not associated with any Candidate in our system. Use the resultant Attachment ID as the search target_resource_id.

  3. Decorate and display the results.
