Sourcing is a volume game played in browser tabs: forty profiles open by lunch, a salary survey somewhere in the pile, three role benchmarks you meant to bookmark, and by Friday you can picture the perfect candidate but can’t find the tab you saw them in. Marqly is the organizer for that stage of recruiting — it saves everything in one click, tags it without your involvement, and retrieves any profile from the fragment you actually remember about the person.
Capture a whole sourcing session at once
The unit of recruiting work isn’t a single link; it’s a session. You spend two hours sourcing for a role and end up with dozens of open profiles, a couple of compensation reports, and a competitor careers page. Marqly’s tab saver captures all open tabs in a single action, so the session’s output is banked before the next meeting wipes your browser state. Individual saves take one click from the toolbar, with the option to add your own tags — “phone-screen,” “silver-medalist,” “reach-out-in-Q4” — on top of what the AI applies.
Sourcing doesn’t stop at the desk, either. Marqly’s iOS app and web app hold the same library as the extension, so a profile spotted from your phone on the commute lands in the same searchable pool as everything from your desktop sessions — and the market report a founder mentions over coffee becomes a save instead of a mental note you lose by evening.
The side-panel library matters more for recruiters than for most people. Sourcing means constant comparison — is this candidate stronger than the one from Tuesday? — and the side panel lets you search and browse your saved profiles alongside the page you’re currently evaluating, without tab-juggling.
Remember a detail, find the candidate
Every recruiter knows the specific agony of the half-remembered candidate: you know she led a payments team, you know the profile mentioned Series B, you have no idea what the page was titled. Folder systems and keyword search are useless here. Marqly’s semantic search matches meaning, so you type the detail you remember — “payments lead who scaled a team through Series B” — and the save comes back. How AI-powered bookmark search works explains the mechanics; what semantic search means covers the concept in a minute.
Highlights sharpen this further. When a profile has one line that makes the candidate interesting — a specific project, a domain, a signal of openness to new roles — highlight it and add a note. Highlights sync to your library and are part of what search reads, so the exact reason you saved someone becomes the exact thing that finds them again.
Boards for roles, benchmarks, and market reading
Marqly boards group links and highlights, and recruiting has obvious groupings: a board per open role, a board of compensation and market data, a board of evergreen sourcing resources. Building them takes no ceremony — saves are already tagged, so organizing is a matter of pulling relevant saves onto a board rather than maintaining a folder tree. A standing board for sourcing guides and search-technique references keeps the craft material one click away between roles, too.
Boards can also be shared as public web pages that anyone can view without signing up, which is handy for handing a hiring manager a curated set of role benchmarks or market reading. Use judgment here: a shared board is public to anyone with the link, so it’s the right vehicle for market research and benchmarks, and the wrong one for anything candidate-identifying or confidential.
For the market-reading side of the job — salary surveys, hiring-trend reports, layoff trackers — AI summaries let you triage a week’s worth of saved reports in minutes and decide which deserve a full read before your intake call.
Getting started
Install the extension for whichever browser you source in — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari are all supported. If you’ve been surviving on browser bookmarks, export them as an HTML file and import; Pocket and Raindrop.io imports work too, so nothing you’ve collected gets left behind. Then let the AI tag the backlog. A bookmarks folder ambiguously named “candidates maybe” turns into a tagged, searchable sourcing base with zero manual sorting. After that, the habit is one click per interesting profile, and the tab saver at the end of each session.
It’s free to start, no card required, at app.marqly.com.
Who this isn’t for
Marqly won’t run your recruiting pipeline. There are no stages, no email sequences, no scheduling, no candidate CRM, and no team features — a sourcing team can’t share one collaborative workspace, since board sharing is public and view-only. If your bottleneck is pipeline management, invest in your ATS. If your bottleneck is the pre-pipeline chaos — profiles and market intel scattered across tabs and lost by Friday — Marqly is the specific fix for that.
Frequently asked questions
Is Marqly an applicant tracking system?
No. Marqly has no pipeline stages, no outreach sequencing, no interview scheduling, and no contact management — your ATS keeps doing all of that. Marqly covers the messy stage before the ATS: the sourcing session where you're evaluating dozens of profiles, salary surveys, and role benchmarks, and need them saved, tagged, and findable before candidates ever become applicants.
How do I find a candidate profile I saved weeks ago?
Describe the person. Marqly's semantic search matches meaning rather than exact keywords across titles, page content, and your highlights — so "the backend engineer who wrote about migrating off Kubernetes" surfaces the right profile even if none of those words appear in the page title. It's built for exactly the way recruiters remember candidates: by a detail, not a name.
What does Marqly cost for a recruiter?
The free tier requires no card — sign up and start saving profiles immediately. Pro is $48/year, which works out to about $4/month billed annually, or $8/month if you prefer monthly billing, and it comes with a 7-day free trial. Pro adds chat with your saved content, which is useful for querying a stack of salary surveys and market reports in plain language.
