Stop searching. Start finding best-fit candidate in seconds with Magic Search
Leave keyword search behind, forever. Magic Search lets you describe the perfect candidate in plain language or by voice and have them presented to you.
Powered by generative AI, Atlas searches everything your company has ever said, heard, read, or written, then returns a short list of top matches. Every result comes with clear match percentages and evidence-backed explanations, so you know exactly why each candidate fits. No Boolean. No endless vetting. Total confidence in every result.
Take total control of your candidate search with Atlas
Describe the perfect candidate in your own words
Stop translating real hiring needs into keywords and filters. With Magic Search present in your applicant tracking system, you describe the ideal candidate exactly how you would explain it to a colleague, using text or voice. Seniority, background, career moves, personal interests, or industry context are all understood naturally, without any setup or training.
Behind the scenes, Atlas uses generative AI to interpret intent, nuance, and priorities. That means you spend less time constructing searches and more time reviewing candidates who genuinely fit what you asked for.
From conversational language to precise search logic
Not every requirement carries the same weight, and Magic Search is built to reflect that. You guide Atlas on which criteria are essential and which are simply beneficial, shaping results without rigid filters or endless revisions.
This prioritization ensures candidates are evaluated the same way you would assess them yourself. Core requirements are respected first, while secondary signals help surface the strongest overall matches. The outcome is a shortlist that feels intentional, accurate, and aligned with real hiring decisions.
Search everything your company ever learned about a candidate
Strong candidates are often hidden outside the resume. Magic Search looks across everything your company has seen, heard, read, or written about a candidate to build a complete picture of fit. That includes resumes, notes, calls, messages, references, and external research into companies and industries.
This depth means recruiters are no longer limited to surface-level data. Atlas understands experience, context, and real-world evidence, helping you uncover candidates who may never appear through traditional search alone.
Get a candidate shortlist you can trust immediately
Magic Search is designed to reduce recruiting noise, not create more of it. Instead of returning long lists of “possible” candidates, Atlas presents a short, focused shortlist of people who genuinely fit your requirements.
Each candidate is scored with clear match percentages so you can quickly understand relative fit. This allows you to move faster, present with confidence, and avoid additional vetting before sharing profiles with clients. When candidates appear in the results, you already know they belong there.
Understand exactly why every candidate is a match for your role
Every result returned by Magic Search comes with a clear explanation of why that candidate fits your requirements. Atlas highlights the strongest signals, explains how they align with your priorities, and shows where the evidence came from.
Trust the recommendation instantly and still dig deeper when needed. With direct links back to original interviews, notes, messages, or source material, you stay fully in control of the narrative. This makes it easier to move fast internally and present candidates to clients with clarity and confidence.
Easily refine your candidate search without starting over
Hiring criteria evolve as you learn more, and Magic Search is built for that reality. After your initial results, you can quickly adjust the search criteria, change priorities, or refine expectations without rewriting the entire request.
With one click, Atlas re-runs the search using your updated guidance and returns a refreshed shortlist. This keeps recruiters in momentum, making it easy to explore alternatives, respond to client feedback, or pressure-test assumptions without losing clarity or control.

Customer testimonials
Atlas focus on building the software to automate and blend in human support, they have got the perfect balance.
We moved from Zoho over to Atlas. The decision has been overwhelmingly positive. The basic premise alone to actually capture all of the data points for candidates and clients alike has been a game changer. Adding in everything else like campaigns, reports, and the new opportunities release for BD, we couldn’t be happier. Feature development has been rapid, with actual useful features being released. Support is extremely fast and very helpful. Highly recommended!
Atlas has been a game changer for People In AI: we wanted a modern ATS that utilized AI and was easily searchable, usable and fast. Atlas delivered that and more.
Atlas is the first CRM I actually enjoy using! It takes away so much of the mundane admin, the native AI features are thoughtfully designed and add genuine value (not lipstick on a pig!), and the team are fab from top to bottom! Genuinely the best tech investment I have made in the last 10 years!
Atlas is ‘must use’ when it comes to recruitment technology. There’s no point in starting a recruitment business or continuing to run a recruitment business without it. You might as well say ‘I want to not win’ when you choose not to use Atlas. We cannot fathom the work that’s been done with Atlas and are excited to scale our team with it.
Until this year, I’d never used a CRM. Choosing one felt overwhelming—until we found Atlas AI. Built on AI and designed with customer feedback, it’s smart, intuitive, and always improving. The real-time chat, training videos, and hands-on support are game-changing. This isn’t just a CRM; it’s the future of recruitment tech.
