Talent Intelligence

Your best hires are
already in your network.
You just can't see them.

Sutra sits on top of your existing recruiting stack and turns two silent talent losses into your biggest hiring advantage.

Recruiting teams lose two high-value talent pools every single day — and most don't know it's happening.

👤

The overlooked insider

High performers on adjacent teams are never surfaced to hiring managers opening new roles. The hiring manager defaults to an external search — paying recruiter fees and waiting months for someone to ramp — when the right person was already in the building.

"We hired externally for 6 months before realizing someone on our own team was a perfect fit." — Head of Talent, Series C startup
📂

The abandoned candidate

Strong external candidates who didn't get an offer — due to timing, headcount freeze, or level mismatch — are left to expire in ATS limbo. No re-engagement. No follow-up. Your investment in that relationship: gone.

The average cost to source a single qualified candidate is $4,000. Most are never contacted again after a rejection.

A talent intelligence layer,
not a replacement.

01

Connect to your existing stack

Sutra reads from your ATS (Greenhouse, Lever) and HRIS via API — read-only, no disruption to your existing workflows. Your recruiters keep working exactly as they do today.

✦ Read-only integration
02

Sutra reasons across your talent graph

When a new role opens, Sutra matches it against every internal employee and past candidate simultaneously — surfacing the ones your team would have missed. Every signal is traceable. No black-box scoring.

✦ AI with full traceability
03

Your recruiter decides. Always.

Sutra never auto-advances, auto-rejects, or auto-contacts anyone. Every action requires a human click. The intelligence is yours to act on — not a system acting on your behalf.

✦ Human in the loop

Built for the way
recruiters actually work.

Every screen is designed around a real moment in the recruiting workflow — not a dashboard someone has to learn to interpret.

🔁

Talent pool re-engagement

Past candidates who were strong but not hired stay in your talent pool indefinitely. When a matching role opens, Sutra surfaces them automatically — with full context on why they were passed before.

⚠️

At-risk employee surfacing

Sutra monitors tenure gaps, promotion lag, and engagement signals to identify high performers likely to leave — so recruiters can open an internal conversation before a resignation letter appears.

🤝

Champion endorsement network

Internal employees who know a candidate can submit structured endorsements — disclosed transparently to the hiring team with relationship context. Every connection surfaced. No hidden influence.

AI signals you can actually trust

Every AI-generated signal — match scores, skill inferences, churn predictions — comes with a traceable source. Validated skills are visually distinguished from inferred ones. No guessing what the model is doing.

Principles we won't
negotiate on.

No hallucinations

Every AI output is source-traceable. We don't surface inferences without an auditable signal behind them.

Human in the loop

Sutra never takes autonomous action on a candidate. No auto-advance, no auto-reject, no auto-outreach. Full stop.

Validated beats inferred

Skill validation status is always visible. What's confirmed and what's estimated are never presented the same way.

Churn data stays with recruiters

At-risk signals are never shared with hiring managers. Sensitive personnel data requires the right audience.

Candidate transparency

Candidates always know when they're being considered for more than one role. No silent multi-role processing.

Talent pools don't expire

Strong candidates don't become less strong because time passed. Pools are permanent unless a human decides otherwise.
