Here's how finding a candidate's employer details used to go, five stops for every single person: read who they work for… type the company into your tracker… hunt for the company's website… double-check that's really where their email lives… then visit an email-format site and decode how that company writes addresses. Multiply by a full pipeline and you've lost an afternoon to clerical work.
The one-highlight version
When you're reading a candidate's profile or resume — anywhere on the web — their current position is sitting right there as a little block of text:
Senior Staff Accountant
Northwind Health · Full-time
Feb 2024 – Present · 1 yr 6 mos
The trick: highlight that whole block, through the "– Present" date line, then right-click → Send selection to Sourcer's Desk. The date line matters — "Present" is the marker that says this is the current job, not an old one, which is how the parse knows which employer is today's employer.
From that one highlight, the extension fills in the candidate's title and company, finds the company's website domain, checks the domain actually receives email, and looks up the company's published email format — the whole five-stop chore, done before you've moved your mouse.
Why this is safe to do anywhere
Worth spelling out, because it sounds too convenient: when you use the right-click menu, the browser hands over only the text you highlighted. The extension isn't loaded into the page you're reading, can't see anything you didn't select, and parses the text entirely on your machine — nothing about the candidate is sent anywhere. The full detail is in the privacy policy, and the architecture behind it in the account safety explainer.
Making it a reflex
The trick earns its keep when it becomes muscle memory: every time a profile is worth a second look, highlight-through-Present, right-click, keep reading. By the end of a sourcing session every candidate in your project has an employer, a domain, and an email format attached — and you never once alt-tabbed to a tracker. The confirmation toast tells you what was captured each time, so mistakes surface immediately instead of at outreach time.
One honest note: parsing is best-effort. An oddly formatted resume can confuse it, which is why the capture shows you what it understood — a two-second glance at the toast beats trusting it blind. When it misreads, fix the card by hand; you're still four stops ahead.
