Current methods of people search are made up of endless filter menus, incomplete data sets, and keyword search. It takes tremendous effort and time to find people for sales and hiring, as current search methods rely on fuzzy filters in limited datasets. \n\n✅ Solution: Clado uses agentic search to find exactly who you're looking for. Just describe the qualities you want, and we will deploy hundreds of thousands of agents to find them.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=90716\u0026key=user_uploads/2374036/2faf2b26-e574-43af-8bdc-933ad4b2f2e7)\n\nThese example searches are time-consuming to execute with standard filtering tools and elude traditional keyword filters.\n\n_\"AI Engineers I can poach for my pharmaceutical startup/interested in biology in Copenhagen.\"_\n\nAn even harder one:\n\n_“Every exec (Owner/CEO/COO/CFO/Partner/Head of Growth/CTO) at accounting firms in the US and UK between 250 - 2000 employees\"_\n\nAfter internally benchmarking our people search engine against other platforms, our model achieves SOTA performance. \\\n\\\nWhat good is finding the right person if you can’t easily contact them? We’re also able to achieve SOTA performance on contact delivery information retrieval given any Linkedin URL (provided for every result in our search). \n\n![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdlMEsme5O2KS7jDjVQ5meLUOG0wSsn4dUDYSaIlwQ2hYDg2Sa7HGCVi_7rjnEAfXWNdODe05Fhghlf6BVYD0z6QlbEjh4B1N1rGLlh3M_RqfIRDrIdpkdKJQzZivA3A7cMH7D93w?key=IzTsz7ArVY5QuH96a3WVtw)\n\nTesting Conditions:[ https://pastebin.com/98PVVN9b](https://pastebin.com/98PVVN9b)\\\n\\\nThe Team:\\\nTom (UCSD) \u0026 Eric (UPenn M\u0026T) are both ambitious freshmen who met in elementary school.
