Searchlight

What it does

Searchlight helps recruiters and search firms identify companies likely to need recruiting support before demand becomes obvious. By analyzing hiring velocity, leadership changes, growth signals, and market activity, Searchlight surfaces high-potential opportunities with account scoring and outreach angles built in. Instead of reacting to job posts, recruiters can prioritize the right companies earlier and approach them with stronger timing and context.

Searchlight surfaces companies with active hiring intent. Built for independent recruiters and recruiting firms.

A daily feed of companies ranked by hiring intent. Built for freelance recruiters and recruiting firm teams. Searchlight helps you find companies that are more likely to need recruiting help soon — before the opportunity is obvious. Solo recruiters get a personalized daily digest. Recruiting firms get team-level visibility with manager controls. Set your focus, company stage, and search model. Firms set team roles and coverage. See the companies that best fit your desk. Firms share a single monitored universe. Each account comes with a reason and an angle. Firms can assign and track accounts. Freelance and RF don't show the same opportunities. Each product surfaces the opportunities…from getsearchlight.io

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
