Built for executive search
Find unique candidates that are not in any database.
Rivea is a sourcing and research tool built for executive search.
It deploys customized AI web crawlers to scan the public internet for org charts, leadership pages, board listings, conference programs, press releases, association directories, and more, then turns that into a ranked long-list with evidence.
The heavy research runs automatically and typically completes within a few hours, often same day.
What Rivea is
Plainly: Rivea is software that crawls the web for you.
It is a tool your partner and research team uses to:
- Deploy role-specific web crawlers for discovery
- Build a clean market map of relevant companies and business units
- Identify and validate candidates across that market
- Enrich each candidate with hard-to-find public signals and source links
- Export results into your existing tools (ATS and CRM)
ATS means applicant tracking system. CRM means candidate relationship management.
One core product, three applications
Rivea’s core engine: customized AI web crawlers.
You define what you are looking for, and Rivea runs crawlers tailored to your search. The outputs power three things:
Find candidates
Build a candidate universe across your full market map, including non-obvious adjacencies and org layers that typical tools miss.
- Cover relevant companies, business units, and deeper org layers
- Surface candidates beyond database-first approaches
- Prioritize a ranked long-list tied to evidence
Generate market maps
Automatically produce a structured market map that is easy to understand, easy to share with clients, and easy to defend.
- Structured outputs for partner reviews and client conversations
- Clear rationale for target selection and scope
- Includes company and business-unit relationships where available
Enrich candidates
Create evidence-backed candidate briefs with signals that improve prioritization and outreach.
- Boards and committees, speaking appearances, and publications
- Credentials, qualifications, and technical proof points (e.g., GitHub, patents)
- Indicators of scope like team size, budget ownership, and remit, where available
- Everything includes source trails so you can verify quickly
What makes Rivea different
Web discovery plus
deep validation.
Rivea is designed around how executive search actually works — not how databases wish it worked.
Web crawling for discovery
Find people and org structures where databases are thin.
Cross-referencing and enrichment
Validate identities, resolve ambiguity, and add useful signals.
Source trails
Every key datapoint links back to where it came from.
How it works
From kickoff to ranked long-list.
With the heavy lifting automated.
Understand the objective
You define the role, scope, must-haves, adjacencies, exclusions, and what 'good' means for this search.
Build the market map
Work with Rivea's agent to define company-level criteria. Rivea then crawls the web and assembles a structured map of companies and relevant entities.
Apply candidate criteria
Rivea identifies potential candidates at each company or business unit in the market map, based on your role criteria.
Verify, validate, and enrich
Deep-research each candidate — cross-referencing sources, resolving duplicates, and layering in signals that matter.
Review a full draft long-list
You receive a ranked long-list with evidence trails. Export to your tools if you want.
Iterate
Adjust the scope, criteria, adjacencies, or scoring — then rerun. Refinement is built into the workflow.
FAQ
Common
questions.
Is Rivea built specifically for executive search?
Yes. It is designed for partner-led and research-associate workflows: market mapping, long-list generation, validation, and evidence trails you can stand behind with clients.
Does this replace our existing databases?
No. Rivea complements them. Databases are strongest for known entities. Rivea is strongest for discovery, org context, and unique public signals — plus validation.
How do you avoid messy or inaccurate web data?
We keep provenance for key claims, cross-reference sources, and flag uncertainty. You can click through to verify anything important.
Can we encode our firm's proprietary logic?
Yes. We can reflect your adjacency rules, must-have credentials, and scoring criteria so results match how your partners evaluate fit.
Do you integrate with our CRM or ATS?
Rivea can export clean long-lists for import into your tools. Deeper integrations are available based on your workflow.
