AI recruiting copilot for freelance recruiters and headhunters in Indonesia

A headhunter in Jakarta, Surabaya or Bandung reads the same pile of CVs as one anywhere else, and gets the same question from the client: why this person? TalentsGrid answers it with a quote from the CV. This page says what works for you today and what does not yet.

What does TalentsGrid do for a recruiter in Indonesia?

TalentsGrid is a free AI hiring copilot for freelance recruiters and small agencies. It scores each CV against the job with quotes from the CV as evidence, turns unproven requirements into interview questions and keeps each client's jobs apart. The app, its emails and the copilot's replies are available in Indonesian, English and Vietnamese.

What works for you today

  • Drop a CV (PDF or DOCX) into the chat and the copilot fills the candidate profile. You review it before it saves.
  • Score the CV against your client's job description. Each requirement is graded core, important, supporting or minor and comes with the quote that proves it. The score is 60% skills and 40% responsibilities, computed by plain code, and a claimed skill with no sign in the profile is thrown out. One CV takes about 1.5 seconds.
  • Send the client the breakdown instead of a bare number. Change the criteria in plain words and the list re-ranks; every change is saved as a version.
  • Get interview questions for whatever the CV does not prove, with weak, fair and strong answer guides, for your interview and for the client's "interview user" with the hiring manager.
  • Record each client, link its jobs to it, and filter jobs, the pipeline and the dashboard by client. Free includes 1 workspace with 3 members; Pro has 5 workspaces and Business has no limit.
  • Use the app in Indonesian: the interface, the copilot's replies and the app's emails.
  • Set a job's salary in rupiah (IDR) and its country to Indonesia.
  • Open a WhatsApp chat with a candidate from their profile. The "Chat on WhatsApp" button shows for a +62 number, and for a number starting with 0 when the candidate is on a job whose country is set to Indonesia; job country is optional and such a number otherwise gets a Zalo button, so save numbers with +62.
  • Publish a job on the public job board at jobs.talentsgrid.com and receive applications there.
  • Keep CVs in your own Google Drive or in managed storage, export candidates to CSV and sync reports to Google Sheets. Import your existing spreadsheet as CSV, with a preview you approve.

What it does not do yet

Read this before you sign up, so the first hour holds no surprises.

  • The chat command that pins the copilot's reply language ("always answer in English") knows English and Vietnamese only. Write in Indonesian and it answers in Indonesian.
  • No WhatsApp integration: TalentsGrid does not send or read WhatsApp messages, and the "Chat on WhatsApp" button only opens the chat (interview invitations do go out by email, with a calendar file); the WhatsApp template pack (in Indonesian) covers first contact, interview invitation, interview user, reminder, rejection and offering.
  • Talent mapping (who is hiring a similar profile) and salary bands use Vietnamese IT market data in VND. The salary reference card still appears after you create an IT job in the chat, also for a job in Indonesia, with Vietnamese data and a "Vietnam market only" badge.
  • No integration with Indonesian job boards. CVs from any board can be uploaded or imported as CSV.

Indonesian CV habits and how the scoring treats them

A photo on the CV is normal in Indonesia, and so are age, religion and marital status. TalentsGrid is built so that none of them affects the score. To fill in the profile, the CV goes to the AI model, with some providers as the whole file, photo included. Scoring is a separate step that reads the profile's text. The birth year is removed from what the AI gets for scoring, and every instruction that scores or compares candidates tells the model to ignore photo, age, gender, height, weight, marital status, religion and ethnicity and never to cite them as evidence.

Salaries are often left out of job ads and discussed in juta per month. The score never depends on salary; it depends on evidence for each requirement in the job description, so a CV without a salary expectation loses nothing.

Skills are often listed in a block at the top, and TalentsGrid counts that list as evidence. A listed skill that names a must-have of a requirement makes the requirement at least a partial match, with a note that its depth is not shown yet. A full match needs more, such as the years the requirement asks for, the job title, or work history that shows the skill. The exception is a CV with no work history at all: when its listed skills, and its total years of experience where a must-have asks for years, meet every must-have of that requirement, the requirement counts as a match and the note asks you to confirm the depth in the interview. The Indonesian guide to screening CVs faster walks through a stricter version of this by hand.

Pages in Indonesian

The English feature pages still apply: CV scoring with evidence, interview kits and AI CV screening. The site's machine-readable index is llms.txt.

Frequently asked questions

Is TalentsGrid available in Indonesian?

Yes. The app interface, the copilot's replies and the app's emails are available in Indonesian. Pick Bahasa Indonesia in the app's language menu, and the copilot answers in Indonesian when you write in Indonesian. The AI reads PDF and DOCX CVs; results on Indonesian-language CVs have not been measured, so try a few on the Free plan first.

Can I pay in rupiah?

There is nothing to pay. TalentsGrid is free: 150 AI credits a month, up to 500 candidates, 1 workspace and 3 members, with no card. When you need more credits, "Request more credits" in the app sends an email to support@talentsgrid.com and you get a license key back.

Does it post jobs to Indonesian job boards or send WhatsApp messages?

No. TalentsGrid has its own public job board at jobs.talentsgrid.com and drafts outreach emails that go out only after you read and approve each one. On a candidate with a +62 number (or a number starting with 0 when the candidate is on a job whose country is Indonesia), a "Chat on WhatsApp" button opens the chat in your own WhatsApp, and you write and send the message; a template pack in Indonesian is linked below.

Where does candidate data live, and can I leave?

CVs live in your own Google Drive, where TalentsGrid sees only the files it creates, or in managed storage. Tokens and sensitive data are encrypted with AES-256. Export candidates to CSV or sync reports to Google Sheets at any time. TalentsGrid does not use your CVs to train AI models.
