About Candidata

What we are

Candidata finds people whose publications, patents, projects and code contributions document the requirements of a role. Three entries – free text, skills and job ad – produce the same prioritised, source-backed list. The goal is that the right people are at the top, with proof, measured with specialists as judges.

What we never do

• No scraping and no unofficial APIs. Sources are activated only with documented terms.
• No guessed email addresses. A contact route is shown only when documented from a permitted source.
• No linking of persons on a name alone. ORCID, ROR, DOI and patent family are the basis.
• No "probability of success". The match is against your criteria.
• No model training on customer data. Customer data is kept apart from the shared source layer.

Storage and privacy

Data is stored in the EEA. Customer separation is enforced in the database. Recruitment use is treated as high-risk under the AI Act: logging, human control and documentation from day one.
