Chrome Sourcing Extension
Source candidates from anywhere on the web without leaving your browser
The Pitch N Hire Chrome Extension lets recruiters capture candidate profiles from LinkedIn, company websites, and other online sources directly into their Pitch N Hire talent pool—without copying and pasting a single field. While browsing, click the extension icon to parse the visible profile, review the extracted data, assign the candidate to an open role or talent segment, and save—all in under thirty seconds. Sourcing work that previously lived in spreadsheets or personal notes now flows directly into the same searchable database the rest of your team relies on.

How does browser-based sourcing improve recruiter productivity?
Traditional sourcing workflows require a recruiter to find a candidate on one tab, open a spreadsheet in another, copy details across, and later re-enter those details into an ATS. That context switching happens dozens of times per sourcing session and introduces transcription errors at each step. The Pitch N Hire Chrome Extension collapses this into a single action in the same browser tab. The recruiter stays in a flow state, captures more candidates per session, and every profile enters the system structured and tagged rather than buried in a personal document no one else can access.
Why does source attribution matter in your talent data?
Understanding where your best candidates come from is only possible if sourcing events are recorded at the point of capture. Pitch N Hire's Chrome Extension automatically logs the URL of the page where a candidate was found, the date, and the recruiter who sourced them. This means pipeline analytics can later show that candidates sourced from a specific platform advance further in your process than those from another—data that informs where your team invests sourcing time. Without this attribution, you are making sourcing strategy decisions in the dark.
Is the extension suitable for high-volume sourcing campaigns?
Yes. While the extension is optimized for individual profile capture, it is built to handle the throughput of active sourcing campaigns. Recruiters can process a LinkedIn search results page by visiting each profile in a new tab, capturing with one click, and moving on—the extension queues saves asynchronously so there is no wait time between captures. All sourced candidates accumulate in the talent pool with consistent structure and tagging, making them immediately searchable by the broader team rather than siloed with one recruiter.
How does capturing at the source improve data quality?
Sourcing details typed into a spreadsheet hours after browsing a profile are prone to transcription errors, missing fields, and half-remembered context. The Pitch N Hire Chrome Extension captures a candidate at the exact moment you find them, pulling structured data directly from the page into your talent pool with the source URL, date, and sourcing recruiter recorded automatically. Because capture happens in context, you can add a note about why the candidate looked promising while that reasoning is still fresh. The result is a talent pool populated with complete, accurately-attributed records rather than sparse rows a recruiter has to reconstruct from memory later — which makes the sourced data genuinely useful to the whole team.
Why does keeping sourcing inside the browser matter for throughput?
Every context switch — from a profile to a spreadsheet to an ATS and back — costs seconds and breaks a recruiter's concentration, and across a sourcing session those interruptions add up to a meaningful loss of output. The Chrome Extension keeps the entire capture action in the same tab the recruiter is already browsing, so there is no window-hopping and no copy-paste. A recruiter can work through a list of profiles, capturing each with a single click, and stay in a focused flow. Saves are queued so there is no waiting between captures. More candidates enter the system per hour, and every one of them lands structured, tagged, and immediately searchable by colleagues rather than trapped in a personal document.
