Point a retrieval engine at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at recruiting agency owners, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Recruiting Knowledge Base is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting agency owners, covering knowledge capture. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by open field (23). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Recruiting teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. In most recruiting businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to knowledge capture alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
