Feel understood and belong.
Searchlight allows your past performance to speak and set you up for success.
You’re more than your resume
Companies use Searchlight to learn about your strengths, working styles, and how to set you up for success from the people who know your work the best.
References help you get noticed
Searchlight references aren’t just a checkbox exercise. We help prior managers and colleagues showcase the most valuable parts of you, so that hiring managers and recruiters get a full picture of you beyond the resume and interviews.
Thrive in your next role
Everyone can be exceptional in their ideal environment. References know what it’s like to work with you, and Searchlight shares this knowledge with your future manager so that they can set you up for success from day one.

Why Searchlight?
Making the hiring process more fair and transparent
Faster, better hiring decisions with more data
Winning companies need the best teams, and the best teams are diverse.
Helps hire overlooked candidates
Our partners have consistently used Searchlight data to confidently hire candidates from under-represented backgrounds.
Break the echo chamber
Searchlight surfaces data from people outside of a company’s existing network to break the cycle of “like recruiting like.”
Still have additional questions?
To protect the credibility of your reference data, Searchlight holds the full answers privately and securely on your behalf and will share them with verified employers of your choosing.
