For recruiters and sourcers
Find the evidence for a shortlist, one requirement at a time
Highlighty marks several skills, credentials, or job titles in different colors while you read a candidate page. Keep a role-specific list handy so you can look for the same terms across profiles.
Install Highlighty from the Chrome Web StoreA candidate-reading workflow
- Choose three to five terms from a real role brief, such as a required certification, a tool, and a job title. Use exact terms you can verify on the page.
- Open a candidate profile or another text-based page and add those terms to Highlighty. Each term receives a separate color.
- Read the surrounding context before deciding whether a match is relevant. A highlighted word alone does not prove experience or suitability.
- Reuse the list on the next page. For CV PDFs, open them in Highlighty's PDF Search with PRO; local files stay on your device for search and OCR.
Watch a candidate review
Follow a fictional application from the role brief to the evidence on the page.

The fuller review shows a separate role brief, dated work history, and questions left for the recruiter to verify. Search risk, stakeholder, Scrum, and PMP, then read each match in context.

The free plan covers the core on-page workflow with up to five active queries per list. Eligible accounts can try a 5-day PRO trial after email verification.
Excel import also works on the free plan within its five-query limit. PDF Search, larger query lists, fuzzy matching, and search across open tabs are PRO features. See current pricing and trial details.
Use it as a reading aid
Highlighty finds text; it does not assess a candidate, infer qualifications, or rank people. Check the source and context yourself, and follow the rules of each platform you use.
For a recruiting team, Highlighty also offers annual organization licenses covering verified users on a licensed work email domain. Ask for the current team quote.
