Hiring projects

One real pipeline per role, whether candidates came from Shadow or were added directly.

Smart role calibration

Turn a role brief into structured must-haves, nice-to-haves, and evaluation criteria before you screen a single candidate.

Phantom AI Screening Assistant

Generate an evidence-based fit assessment on demand: strengths, gaps, and exactly what to ask next.

Interview prep & handoff notes

Walk into the call with the right questions, then turn your own notes into a clean handoff summary afterward.

AI fit rating

Every candidate rated Strong, Good, Possible, or Weak Fit, with the evidence attached.

Anonymous candidate profiles

Every candidate shows up as a Callsign, not a name, until you're ready to know who they are.

Hiring priority tracking

Hiring managers submit their top priorities once, see exactly which candidates meet them, backed by evidence.

Pipeline analytics

Live breakdowns by stage, fit rating, source, and outcome, know where your pipeline actually stands.

Pipeline

One pipeline, every stage.

Every candidate moves through the same seven-stage pipeline, whether they applied through Shadow or were added directly. Nothing to configure.

Hiring manager alignment

Hiring managers submit their priorities once. Not another meeting.

A hiring manager lists what actually matters for the role. Phantom AI compares every candidate's own record against that list, so recruiters see exactly what's evidenced and what still needs probing, without a status meeting.

VP Engineering · top priorities

  • 5+ years leading distributed systems teams
  • Direct ownership of a production payments platform
  • Experience scaling an engineering org past 30 people
  • Public speaking or conference track record

Cipher-05 meets 3 of 4 priorities, evidenced directly in their record.

Project Vault

Every requirement, note, and AI insight for this project lives in its own Project Vault, purged when the search closes. Nothing lingers past the hire.

Analytics & action items

Not just what happened. What to do next.

Every project breaks down fit rating, pipeline stage, source, and salary expectations in real time. And instead of a static report, your dashboard surfaces exactly what needs a decision from you today: who's ready to advance, who needs an interview booked, who's waiting on a prescreen, and which project still needs hiring manager priorities.
