ATLANTA, GA — UPPER, a woman-founded, AI-enabled talent sourcing platform for end-to-end talent scouting, today described how its candidate sourcing software works: it starts with the real role, not a keyword list. From one job description, UPPER sources across major job channels at the same time, scores every candidate against the actual role — responsibilities, seniority, and evidence of the work — runs outreach, and manages engagement until top-ranked candidates with CVs are ready to be contacted.

Most sourcing still means searching channel by channel and judging resumes by eye, so strong candidates who describe their work differently get missed and weak matches with the right keywords get through. UPPER replaces that grind with a ranked, evidenced shortlist a hiring manager can judge in minutes, so the human conversation starts days earlier.

"UPPER exists because I watched the same week repeat: write the job description, burn days on manual searching and scoring, send outreach into the void, and lose the best people before the first call," said Rachel Messing, founder and CEO of UPPER. "So we built the machine to do the digging. Machines source, score, and recommend; people decide."

The company states that teams using UPPER save 50-70% of the time they previously spent on sourcing, screening, and outreach. UPPER is available now to talent teams and staffing firms in any industry. Details at https://www.upperlev.com
