BD Radar

Your morning briefing for roles worth chasing.

Every night, Shortlists scans thousands of live job postings. By the time you open your laptop, you have a ranked list of roles matched against candidates you already have — ready to pitch.

How it works

Set it once. Let it run.

01

Set your desk preferences

Tell Shortlists what sectors, locations, seniority levels, and salary bands you recruit into. Takes five minutes to configure, runs forever.

02

Scan runs overnight

Every night, BD Radar monitors thousands of live job postings across the UK, US, and Europe — cross-referencing them against your candidate database.

03

Wake up to ranked matches

By the time you open your laptop, you have a curated list of roles scored against your existing candidates. The highest-value opportunities surface first.

Match scoring

Every role ranked against your bench.

BD Radar doesn't just find new roles — it scores each one against the candidates already in your database. A 94% match means you can place someone today. An 81% match means you have a strong shortlist. You always know where to spend your morning.

  • Match score based on skills, location, seniority, and salary
  • New roles flagged since your last login
  • Sorted by speed-to-place, not just match %
  • Filters by sector, location, or company size

FAQ

Common questions.

Which job boards does BD Radar scan?

We scan all major boards including LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed, Totaljobs, CV-Library, and sector-specific boards relevant to your desk. The list grows as we add coverage.

How does the match score work?

BD Radar cross-references each new role against your candidate database using skills, location, salary range, seniority, and availability signals. It's not keyword matching — it's the same logic a good recruiter uses when deciding whether a role is worth calling.

Can I filter by geography or sector?

Yes. You can configure BD Radar to only surface roles in specific cities, regions, or countries. You can also restrict it to your sectors and exclude competitors or companies you already have mandates with.

What if I recruit for multiple desks?

Each user on your account configures their own BD Radar preferences. A tech recruiter and a finance recruiter on the same team see completely different role feeds.

Does it replace LinkedIn Recruiter?

For business development — finding new client opportunities — yes, BD Radar is a better daily habit than trawling LinkedIn. For direct candidate sourcing, it complements LinkedIn rather than replacing it.
