CriteriaCue: AI Candidate Screening for LinkedIn

Check LinkedIn profiles against your job requirements in a side panel. Currently free, with limits. No API key needed.

CriteriaCue is a free Chrome extension that checks LinkedIn candidate profiles against the requirements in your job description, one requirement at a time, in a side panel beside the profile you are already reading. It is currently free with usage limits, and you do not need an OpenAI or other AI API key. It is built for recruiters, sourcers and talent acquisition teams who work several open roles at once and want to see what a profile actually shows, not just whether a keyword appears or what a single match score says. WHO IT IS FOR • Agency and in-house recruiters screening LinkedIn candidates against a JD • Sourcers reviewing many profiles across several open roles • Hiring managers who want a quick, structured first read before a screening call HOW IT WORKS 1. Install CriteriaCue and choose English or Simplified Chinese. 2. Grant LinkedIn website access, then sign in with an email code. No password, no OpenAI or other AI API key. 3. Paste your job description. AI suggests a role title and the core requirements. Edit or delete any line and mark each one Required or Preferred before saving (1–10 requirements per role). Your edited requirements take priority in analysis. Clearly labeled fictional sample roles are included if you want to try it first. 4. Open an individual LinkedIn /in/ profile with the CriteriaCue side panel open, and review the profile against your saved JD. 5. Read the quick check for each requirement, and open a detailed analysis when you want more context. FEATURES • Requirement-by-requirement quick decision: each requirement is labeled Matched, Partially matched or Not matched. A yellow corner marks a preferred requirement. • Partial or missing evidence becomes something to verify on the call, not an automatic rejection. • Keep up to 30 roles and review one to three active roles against the same profile. Drag roles into or out of the active row; the first active role is reviewed first. • Deep analysis: an advisory 0–100 reference score when the report supports one, a short summary, match highlights, gaps and uncertainties, the status of each core requirement, and interview checks. • Read the captured profile text separately, so you can check what the analysis was based on. • Original JDs and your edited requirements are stored separately in local extension storage. • Currently free, with usage limits. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO CriteriaCue does not automatically rank, reject, hire or contact anyone. It does not open other profiles, scroll or expand sections for you, read messages or contact details, or collect general browsing history. Scores are advisory reference points, not calibrated probabilities, and AI findings need human verification. PRIVACY AND DATA • Profile text and your requirements are processed through the MINUS backend and Alibaba Cloud Bailian. • Roles and JDs stay in local extension storage. Account and basic task metadata are stored by the service. • For troubleshooting and quality testing, encrypted diagnostic copies of submitted tasks (JD, captured profile text and model output) are kept for seven days and accessible only to authorized administrators. Minimized, de-identified examples may be kept in a restricted, encrypted internal regression library until an operator removes them; they may still contain professional information and are never public or used for advertising. • Email login uses Resend. • Optional PostHog usage analytics need your active choice and a separate permission. Core features work with analytics off. Analytics exclude profile text and URLs, role content, judgments, credentials and feedback text. • The extension reads the current profile only with your website permission and while the side panel is open. Process only material you are authorized to use. Full details, regions, retention and deletion requests: https://ivanxia1988.github.io/criteriacue-privacy/ FAQ Do I need an OpenAI or other API key?
