Using Raptor to Quickly Find and Add Top-Matched Candidates

Use the Raptor feature to instantly access pre-curated, top-matched candidates for your open requirement as soon as it is live in Velocity, and quickly add them to the relevant job description (JD) to accelerate your submissions.

Step 1: Open the Raptor Feature

If you have a specific requirement and want immediate candidate options for that role, use the Raptor feature. Raptor is designed to surface top picks that have already been curated for your requirement as soon as it hits Velocity.

Step 2: Review the Curated Candidate Matches

After you click on Raptor, you will see a list of the most suitable candidates for the selected requirement. These candidates are already matched to the role even before active sourcing begins. For example, you may see 25 matches for an “AI Engineer” role, with filters such as salary range and location already applied. Review the details of these candidates to confirm their suitability for your requirement.

Step 3: Add Selected Candidates to the Job Description

Once you identify suitable candidates, add them to the specific JD directly from the Raptor view. Click on Add to JD for the chosen candidates to link them to that requirement.

After adding them, you can proceed with your standard recruitment workflow for those candidates under that JD.

Step 4: Leverage Raptor to Accelerate Submissions

Raptor continuously curates the best profiles for you based on the Velocity database. Use this feature whenever a new requirement goes live to quickly pick top-matched candidates and significantly speed up your candidate submissions.
