Hire through your network
Source referral candidates from your team’s combined connections and find people you already trust.
Your best hires are one connection away
Paste a job posting. Find candidates your team already knows. Get backchannel refs.
Paste a job posting, find candidates
Copy and paste an entire job description or a public job URL and Happenstance will find matching candidates from your team’s network. No query building required.
Backchannel references built in
See which team members are connected to each candidate and how strong the connection is, so you know exactly who to ask for a backchannel ref.
Deep-dive on any candidate
Research any person to get a detailed professional profile, see your mutual connections, and understand connection strength before you reach out.
How to source quality candidates
Have each team member connect their accounts
Each team member will be onboarded to connect their LinkedIn, email, calendar, contacts, and more. The more sources and people you add, the better your candidate sourcing becomes.
We never share, sell, or use your data to train AI models. Email is headers-only. Content never touches our servers.
Paste a job posting or URL to find candidates
Search in natural language, paste a job description, or drop in a public job URL. Results are ranked by relevance and connection strength. Export as CSV or share search URLs with teammates.
Tip: Boolean queries and @mentions to search a specific person's connections work too. Connect via API or MCP to use Happenstance from Claude, Cursor, or any AI assistant.
