Bring lookalike search to your users
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).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 thetarget_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.
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.

- 2.Search
GET /candidate_rankings
and pass in an Attachment ID to thetarget_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 Create an attachment) 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.
