Mangohound agents

Seven research agents. One briefing your client can't get anywhere else.

Before you pitch, a team of agents researches the client, their market and where that talent comes from. It runs live for one company and one role, in about 15 minutes, and every step shows its work.

Each one hands its work to the next.

The same seven steps run for every briefing. The numbers below are from the Northpeak sample.

    Shortlist picker

Northpeak is a fictional company; the sample briefing is built in the real format.

How they think

Built to work like your best researcher.

Context first

They read before they search

The job description, the client's own website, your notes from the intake call and any past hires you add. The search starts from how the client sees the role.

Show their work

Every number has a source

Each company, move and count links back to where it came from. Small samples are labeled, and anything the agents aren't sure of is flagged for you to check.

Learn from your client

Answers sharpen the search

The client's Yes, Maybe and No, and the notes from your calls, feed the next search, so the shortlist gets closer every round.

Stay fair

Judged on the work

Candidates are scored on what they actually did, not the wording of their title. Education only breaks a tie between close candidates, and age and graduation year never count.

What they don't do

Research, not a robot recruiter.

They don't contact anyone

Mangohound finds, ranks and explains. Your recruiters decide who to call and how. That relationship stays yours.

They don't resell contact data

You get public profile links for every person, never a list of emails and phone numbers.

They can't read minds

Why someone left, or what they were paid, isn't in any data. That's what your client call is for.

Where the data comes from

Ten sources in. One briefing out.

Mangohound's research agents pull from licensed data and the public web, cross-check one source against another, and count real people. You get public profile links, never resold contact data.
