--- title: CortexStack — websites and job centers for staffing companies url: https://cortexstack.io/ description: CortexStack builds the websites and job centers that staffing companies run on: search that returns in milliseconds, an apply flow built for a phone, and jobs wired straight to your ATS. --- # The job board *is* the business. Every dollar you spend on recruiting lands on one page: the one where a candidate decides whether to apply. We build that page, and the search engine underneath it — where **a typed sentence becomes filters, a misspelled specialty still finds the contract, and every application arrives in your ATS**.

It runs on **sample data** — 16 travel-nurse contracts — not real listings.* **Type a sentence. Watch it become filters.** A cut-down build of the search we ship: typo tolerance, industry synonyms, and a natural-language pass that reads the query and sets the filters for you. Typing `night ICU jobs in Texas over $2,400` resolves to Specialty **ICU**, State **TX**, Shift **Nights**, Pay **≥ $2,400** — and returns, for example, *Travel RN — ICU, Houston, TX · Nights · 3×12 · 13 weeks, $2,545 per week*. Every listing gets its own indexable page with JobPosting structured data. ### What the engine does - **Typo-tolerant** — Two-character edit distance plus a synonym set built for your industry, so "emergancy dept" and "ED" both land on ER. - **Hybrid retrieval** — Keyword matching and vector similarity fused in one query, so a description can match without sharing a word with it. - **Sentence to filters** — A model parses the typed phrase into specialty, state, shift, and pay filters — then the index does the rest. --- ## What we build **Two things, and they are not the same project.** Most agencies build you a brochure and bolt a job list onto the end of it. The job center is the harder half — it's a search product with a content site around it, and it decides whether your recruiting spend converts. ### The site *The part that earns trust before anyone looks at a contract.* - **Brand and pages** — Positioning, design, and copy structure built for one audience, not a template with your logo dropped in. - **Content your team can run** — WordPress set up so a recruiter can publish a blog post or update a benefits page without opening a ticket. - **Found on purpose** — Clean information architecture, real page speed, and technical SEO that treats every job as a landing page. - **Recruiter pages that convert** — Bios, direct lines, and contact routing that puts a name and a face next to the apply button. ### The job center *A search product: ingest, index, search, apply, route.* - **Search that answers** — Filters shaped like the way candidates actually search: category, specialty, state, shift, weekly pay, contract length, start window. - **An apply flow with no account wall** — Résumé upload, autofill, mobile-first, and a confirmation the candidate believes. - **Straight into your ATS** — Applications land where your recruiters already work, with the job and the source attached. - **Alerts that bring people back** — Text and email alerts by specialty and state, so the candidate who found nothing today hears about it when something opens. Your brand, not ours — the candidate never sees a CortexStack screen. --- ## How it runs **Five moving parts between your ATS and a filled contract.** We build against whatever your system already emits — a REST endpoint, an XML feed, or a nightly CSV. Nothing here asks your recruiters to change how they work. This is the architecture running today on a board carrying thousands of live contracts. 1. **Ingest** — Jobs pull from your ATS on a half-hourly schedule, with a watchdog on the sync itself. Titles, specialties, and locations get normalised so "ICU", "Critical Care", and "CCU" stop being three different jobs. 2. **Index** — Everything lands in Typesense — facets, a synonym set for your industry, and an embedding per job — rebuilt as an atomic generation so a bad import can't take the board down. 3. **Search** — Keyword and vector retrieval fused in one query, a model that turns a typed sentence into filters, geo sort by distance, and a page per job that Google can rank on its own. 4. **Apply** — Short form, résumé upload, no account. The fewer screens between interest and submission, the more submissions you get. 5. **Route** — The lead posts back into your ATS carrying the job, the source, and the query. What people searched for and didn't find gets logged as its own report. --- ## Standards — what ships every time **The parts nobody demos, written down anyway.** These aren't upgrades. They're the baseline every CortexStack build is held to. - **Speed — Fast on a bad connection.** Performance budgets set before design starts, and held. Your candidate is on a phone in a parking garage, not a fibre line. - **Access — Usable by keyboard and screen reader.** Labelled filters, visible focus, real contrast ratios. A job board that locks people out is a job board losing applicants. - **Search — Structured data on every job.** JobPosting schema, canonical rules, clean sitemaps — so your listings can show up in Google's job results instead of only on your board. - **Ops — Staging, backups, monitoring.** Nothing goes to production without a staging pass. Uptime and feed health are watched, and a broken feed pages us, not you. - **Ownership — You own all of it.** Your hosting, your repository, your data. No proprietary lock-in and no per-job licence fee for the privilege of posting your own contracts. - **Handover — A team that can drive it.** Documentation and a working session with the people who'll use it daily, so the site doesn't freeze the day we finish. --- ## Engagements **Three ways this usually starts.** - **Full rebuild** — Site and job center together. Positioning, design, build, search engine, feed integration, migration, and launch — the whole surface rebuilt as one system. *Typically 6–9 months.* - **Job center only** — Your brand site stays. We replace the job board underneath it, index your feed, and rebuild the apply flow — usually the fastest path to more applications. *Typically 4–6 months.* - **Care & growth** — Ongoing work after launch: pages, campaigns, feed changes when your ATS shifts, and the monthly pass on what candidates searched for and didn't find. *Monthly, no lock-in.* No pricing is published. Scope is quoted per build. --- ## Start **Send us your job board URL.** We'll go through it the way a candidate would — on a phone, at the end of a shift — and send back a written teardown of what's costing you applications. No pitch deck, no call required, and it's free whether or not you hire us.
