Build a talent map, generate boolean strings, and identify every sourcing angle — before the first search
ZeroTwo combines your role brief with Deep Research and live web search to produce a structured talent map: target employers, primary and adjacent source titles, alternative titles, relevant certifications, and adjacent industries to mine. Then it generates boolean search strings, sourcing prompts, and outreach angles for each audience segment — so the search starts with strategy, not guesswork.
Based on the role brief, I've identified 14 target employers — 8 direct-fit FinTech companies and 6 adjacent (payments, lending, compliance tech). The talent map includes 6 adjacent titles that often produce better candidates than the primary title at this seniority level. I've generated 3 boolean strings: LinkedIn full-field, LinkedIn X-Ray, and a GitHub search for payment-infrastructure contributors.
Candidate sourcing tools built for recruiting agencies
Talent mapping that goes beyond the primary title
ZeroTwo identifies the primary source titles and the adjacent titles that produce better candidates at certain seniority levels — because the best Sr. PM for a FinTech payments role is often currently titled 'Technical PM' or 'Platform PM,' not 'Senior Product Manager.'
Boolean strings generated for every platform
ZeroTwo produces boolean search strings for LinkedIn, LinkedIn X-Ray (Google), Indeed, GitHub, and other platforms — each optimized for the syntax and search mechanics of that specific tool. No more adapting one string for every platform manually.
Sourcing angles beyond the obvious job boards
ZeroTwo identifies non-obvious sourcing angles: conference speakers, newsletter authors, GitHub contributors, alumni networks, and industry community members — so the talent map includes passive candidates who would never apply to a job post but might respond to the right outreach.
