Candidate DNA Pipeline

The DNA Pipeline creates your professional fingerprint — a unique profile that captures your values, work style, ambitions, and career priorities. HCI Intel uses this to match you with aligned companies.

The 4 Steps

Step 1: Professional Profile (Mandatory) Enter your name, current role, company, years of experience, key achievements, and career goals. This forms the foundation of your DNA.

Step 2: CV Upload (Mandatory) Upload your CV/resume in PDF or DOCX format. HCI Intel's AI parses your education, work history, skills, and certifications automatically.

Step 3: Career Intelligence Questionnaire (Recommended) Answer ~15 questions about your ideal work environment, management style preferences, company size preference, industry interests, and career trajectory goals.

Step 4: Company Matching (Automatic) Once Steps 1-3 are complete, HCI Intel's matching engine automatically identifies the top 20 companies most aligned with your DNA profile, scored across culture fit, growth opportunity, compensation match, and role relevance.

Why Complete Your DNA?
