Searchlight
Spot recruiting opportunities before everyone else
Searchlight helps recruiters and search firms identify companies likely to need recruiting support before demand becomes obvious. By analyzing hiring velocity, leadership changes, growth signals, and market activity, Searchlight surfaces high-potential opportunities with account scoring and outreach angles built in. Instead of reacting to job posts, recruiters can prioritize the right companies earlier and approach them with stronger timing and context.
We built Searchlight around a simple idea: the best recruiters shouldn’t have to wait for job posts to know where opportunity is forming. The platform is designed to identify hiring intent before it becomes obvious - helping recruiters move earlier, operate more intelligently, and build stronger relationships with the companies that matter most.
This is just the beginning.
Grateful to everyone who helped bring this to life.
I am so excited to be launching Searchlight today! I’m especially grateful for the recruiters, builders, and early supporters who have helped shape this from an idea into a real product. Searchlight is here to give recruiters a clearer signal, better timing, and a smarter way to find opportunities before the market gets crowded. Would love your support, feedback, and thoughts from the Product Hunt community!

Who hunted Searchlight?
Searchlight was hunted by Joe. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
