HardSkills

Candidate searches shouldn't take an excessive amount of time, especially with readily available data. HardSkills aims to revolutionize technical and IP recruitment as the first patent database focused on recruitment, providing recruiters with the tools to easily discover qualified candidates for R&D, engineering, and technical positions. Through our platform, any recruiter or recruitment agency can identify experts by searching for keywords from their recruitment briefs, such as specific skills or competencies. Upon conducting a search, the most qualified candidates will be shown, and you can further refine the results using filters based on location and other patent characteristics. The advanced search and filtering features distinguish HardSkills from traditional patent databases that concentrate solely on data rather than on people. You can easily compile lists of potential candidates to share with colleagues and clients, and our platform even allows you to directly access the contact information of patent holders, simplifying the outreach process compared to typical candidate searches. Just enter the skill, competency, or keyword provided by your client, and HardSkills will show all relevant patents and their respective holders. You'll get an immediate, easy-to-understand overview of potential candidates with pertinent patent information. Enhance your search by using filters like location, patent duration, classification, category, and more to find candidates with verified expertise that meet your criteria. You can shortlist candidates and export lists in your chosen format. To expedite the recruitment process, our algorithms will also attempt to gather the contact details of patent holders.
