A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at recruiting ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Recruiting is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by open field (24). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$96k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$42k.
Recruiting teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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 |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
