Clado

Clado is a ground-truth people search platform designed primarily for recruiters and sales professionals. It leverages 105 deployed AI agents to index and analyze over 800 million profiles from publicly available sources. Users can query the platform using natural language, such as “Software engineers at Meta in SF” or “VCs who invested in AI startups,” and receive precise, structured results that include names, current and past positions, work experience, location, published papers, and specific skills. The core functionality revolves around finding any individual based on a combination of attributes: skills, education, past and present employers, job titles, geographic location, even specific technical domains like computer vision or autonomous driving. For example, a recruiter looking for former Tesla Autopilot engineers who now work at autonomous vehicle startups and have published papers on computer vision can instantly retrieve a filtered list of candidates with detailed profiles. Each result shows the person’s name, current role, previous companies, tenure (e.g., “Dr. Priya Sharma spent 3.2 years at Tesla Autopilot”), and whether they meet each criterion (e.g., “Has autonomy experience – Yes”). Clado also offers an API for programmatic access, allowing developers to integrate people search capabilities into their own tools or workflows. The platform is intended to replace manual sourcing methods like LinkedIn searches, Boolean string crafting, or third-party resume databases. Instead of relying on self-reported data, Clado claims to use AI to verify and cross-reference information from multiple sources, aiming for higher accuracy and completeness. For sales teams, the platform helps identify decision-makers at target companies by filtering on criteria such as job
