How OperaOS works

  1. 1. Candidates opt in

    Profile, CV and work samples — tied to specific skills. Consent is explicit and can be withdrawn any time.

  2. 2. Humans verify

    Reviewers check evidence against a rubric for the role family and record a reason for every decision.

  3. 3. You brief

    Essential vs preferred skills, budget, work mode, location and start date. Paste a job ad to draft it faster.

  4. 4. We match & explain

    Hard constraints first, then hybrid keyword + semantic retrieval, then an explainable weighted ranking.

Human-verified evidence

Every shortlisted candidate has opted in and had their work checked against a role-specific rubric — skill by skill.

Explainable matching

Each match shows which requirements are met, the evidence behind them, the gaps, and how confident we are.

Fair by design

Names, gender, age, ethnicity, nationality and photos are never inputs to filtering or ranking. Tested on every build.

A shortlist, not a haystack

Brief once, get a small ranked shortlist, compare side by side, and request introductions in one place.

Candidates stay in control

Versioned consent, field-level visibility, hide-from-company, data export and one-click account deletion.

No automated rejection

The engine ranks and explains. Your team decides — every decision is yours and auditable.
