Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at recruiting recruiters, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Recruiters is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting recruiters, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by open field (26). Typical pricing is $5.1k–$108k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$94k.
Recruiting teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most recruiting businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Recruiting is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
