Say Goodbye to Complicated Formulas

Why recruiters are abandoning complex queries to simply chat with their CV database

By RelaSync Team ·

You know that moment? You urgently need a senior frontend developer for a critical project. You sit down at your CV database, thinking “I’ll build the perfect query”… and two hours later, you’ve written something that looks like computer code, tested ten variations, and you’re still not sure you found all the good candidates.

Many recruiters know this frustration. Complex search formulas are powerful in theory. But in practice, they’re exhausting, time-consuming, and you always miss a few profiles.

The problem: you’re spending energy on mechanical work

When you write a complex search query with quotation marks, parentheses, and “AND/OR/NOT” operators, you’re not really recruiting. You’re programming. You have to think like a machine.

Here are the concrete problems:

  • Vocabulary plays tricks on you. You type “Project Manager” but there are also CVs that say “Product Manager,” “Project Lead,” “Head of Project”… You have to guess and list them all. And even paying attention, you miss some.

  • It’s long and exhausting. Building a good query, testing it, adjusting it — that’s 30 to 45 minutes for one search. And it wears you out mentally.

  • It’s rare expertise. Not all recruiters on your team master complex queries. Those who do become bottlenecks. The others do less relevant searches or ask for help.

  • You miss “different” profiles. A candidate who wrote their CV in their own words, who comes from a different sector, who has an atypical background but exactly what you need? Complex queries miss them easily.

How RelaSync solves it

RelaSync lets you search the way you’d think talking to a colleague.

Instead of writing a complex formula, you simply say: “I’m looking for someone experienced in React”

That’s it. RelaSync understands you’re looking for a senior developer, identifies other similar frameworks, finds profiles that mention “senior” or “5+ years of experience.” Instantly.

How is this possible?

RelaSync uses AI trained on thousands of real CVs. It learns that “React,” “Vue,” and “Angular” are similar skills. That “Expert,” “Senior,” and “10 years” often mean the same thing in terms of level. That “Head of Engineering” and “CTO” do the same job.

It’s like having an experienced colleague next to you who knows all the nuances of HR vocabulary — and does the search in 2 minutes instead of 45.

Practical result: more time for what matters

Direct time savings. A search that took 45 minutes? Now 2 minutes. You run the natural language query, you have a relevant shortlist in seconds.

Better candidate quality. Because you also find atypical profiles, successful career changers, those with the right skills acquired unconventionally. These are often the best candidates — exactly the ones everyone seeks but no one finds with complex formulas.

Your whole team can use it. No need to train everyone on complex query rules. A junior recruiter can search as effectively as a senior. It’s like searching Google instead of writing code.

Less frustration. You stop spending 45 minutes on a perfectionist search. You get a good shortlist in 2 minutes, you call candidates — and you create value instead of fighting an interface.

What you had to do before…

Before, you had few choices:

  • Either write a complex formula (exhausting, long, incomplete)
  • Or do a simple search that misses lots of candidates
  • Or call someone on the team “who knows how” and waste time

None of these were really good options.

…And now

You describe what you’re looking for in natural language. Simple. In seconds, you have a list sorted by relevance. You call candidate #1, you start your interview.

You didn’t waste 45 minutes on prep. You used 2 minutes for search and 43 minutes for what creates real value: candidate relationship.

The bonus: best practice to remember

Describe the profile like you’d talk about it to a colleague. Don’t think “how do I write this for the machine.” Just think “what kind of person am I looking for?” RelaSync will understand.

“A compassionate manager who demands excellence and has leadership in a startup environment” — that’s a good RelaSync query. It’ll find candidates who would never surface with complex formulas.
