About SmartSearch

SmartSearch is a full-cycle recruiting platform built specifically for staffing and recruiting firms. The platform manages the complete journey from candidate sourcing through onboarding inside one system.

The search and matching engine is where SmartSearch earns its keep. Boolean resume search with saved queries handles the systematic work; AI Smart ranking layers on top to score candidates against defined criteria - years of experience, required certifications, cultural fit indicators - and presents a ranked shortlist rather than raw results.

Workflow automation through HireTraks and CandidateTraks maps the specific stage sequence for each type of placement - direct hire, contract, temp-to-perm - and automates repetitive steps. The candidate portal gives applicants a branded self-service experience to apply, accept offers, and sign documents electronically. With 25+ years in market, SmartSearch has worked through the integrations and edge cases newer platforms are still discovering.
