The same file. The same network. Run on a stale CRM, or run on Meerkat OS. The difference is between learning about a move six months late, and being the first call the day it happens.

The Intelligence Layer: six dimensions of a candidate, one endpoint

A candidate is not a static résumé. Meerkat OS resolves six dimensions of every person in your file and refreshes them continuously, so the record you act on is current the moment you call it. Career history, mobility signals, property and household context, verified contact, and the warm paths through your firm and your placements — all in one record.

For Your Team: plugs into the tools you already run

Meerkat OS is not another dashboard for your team to learn. It is the intelligence layer underneath the ATS and CRM they already live in, refreshing candidate and client records in place.

The Ah-Ha

The reverse BD funnel: from lost placement to next mandate. Three years ago you placed Sarah as VP Engineering at Company A. Last month she became CTO at Company B. Your CRM still shows her old role. Company B just retained your competitor. With Meerkat OS, the day Sarah's title changes, you see it: and six months later, when Company B needs a VP of Product, you are already the trusted recruiter. Every placement gets watched the same way, automatically.

The mobility score: email the 12 who will move, not the 200 who won't. You have 200 senior engineers on a slate. Title alone is the filter. The same email goes to all of them. With Meerkat OS, each candidate gets a mobility score grounded in vesting cliffs, tenure, recent home moves, and partner job changes. The 30 who just bought houses drop. The 12 whose partners took new jobs near your client rise to the top.

  • Day 1 — notification when anyone in your file changes title, company, or location
  • 0 re-screens — the data updates the moment it changes in the world
  • 1 file — career, mobility, property, household, contact, and warm-path in one record

Get Started: a pilot on your placement file

The fastest way to see what Meerkat OS does is to point it at the file you already know. Send us your placed candidates from the last five years. We send back the same file, transformed.

  1. Send us your placements. A few thousand candidates from the last five years. Names, original titles, original companies: nothing more.
  2. We bring them current. Within days, the same file comes back with current title and employer, mobility score, recent life events, verified contact, and the warm paths your team did not know existed.
  3. You see the lift. Identify which placements have moved into hiring authority: your next clients hiding in your own win column: and which candidates are signaling mobility right now.
  • No multi-year contract. Pilot first, scale when the lift is clear.
  • Your data stays yours. We enrich it. We do not resell it.
  • Connectors live for Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Salesforce, and the major recruiting stacks.
  • Built for boutique search firms and global retained search alike.

Every placement is a pipeline. Now make it one. Let's Connect
