What Is Recruiter Copilot? Features, Pricing, How It Works

Recruiter Copilot is a Chrome extension that reads a job description you provide, then scores the candidates you browse against it in real time, right inside the page.

It is a browser tool, not a platform. You do not log into a separate dashboard, import your data, or wait for a sales call. You add the extension, give it a job description, and keep sourcing the way you already do. The scoring happens as an overlay on the profiles you open, so you never switch tools.

That is the whole idea: bring the match score to where recruiters already work, instead of asking them to move their work into new software. There is no applicant tracking system to connect and no enterprise contract to sign before you can use it.

Copilot turns a job description into a live checklist and grades every candidate against it, showing a 0 to 100 percent match score with a color-coded skill breakdown.

You load a job description once. Copilot's AI extracts the skills, requirements, and experience levels from it, and separates must-have skills from nice-to-haves. From then on, each profile you open gets scored against that requirement.

Instant match scores

Every candidate gets a 0 to 100 percent match score at a glance. Skills are color-coded so you can read the fit in a second: green means a matched skill, red means a missing requirement, and amber marks a nice-to-have. You can compare a candidate against more than one job description if you are working several roles at once.

Deeper AI verification

When a profile looks promising, one click runs an AI verification. This goes past the instant score to assess experience depth, skill proficiency, and the candidate's strengths and gaps, with a severity rating on each gap. It is the difference between a quick shortlist pass and a closer read before you reach out.

Where it works

Copilot runs on LinkedIn profiles, LinkedIn search results, and LinkedIn Recruiter. It also supports GitHub profiles and can analyze PDF resumes. You do not change your workflow: it sits quietly in the background and scores what you look at.

Recruiter Copilot is built for individual recruiters, sourcers, and agency consultants who source in the browser, not for enterprise engineering teams or CV-formatting workflows.

If you live in LinkedIn Recruiter and browser sourcing, and you evaluate candidates one profile at a time, this is built for the way you already work. It fits solo recruiters and small teams who want AI matching without buying and configuring a full platform.

It is deliberately not an enterprise engineering-team tool, and it is not a CV-reformatting tool for agency owners. Those needs are served by separate products. Keeping Copilot focused on the browser-sourcing recruiter is what lets it stay light enough to install in under a minute.

The flow is six short steps, from install to a verified candidate, and the whole thing takes a few minutes the first time.

1. Install the extension. One click, free, no account required to start.
2. Add your job description. Upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, or paste up to 10,000 characters. The AI extracts the requirements automatically.
3. Review the extracted skills. Copilot shows what it will look for, with synonym detection and must-have versus nice-to-have categorization. You can edit it.
4. Browse LinkedIn normally. No workflow change. It works on profiles, search results, and Recruiter, plus GitHub profiles and PDF resumes.
5. Read the instant match score. A 0 to 100 percent score with skills marked green, red, or amber.
6. Run AI verification. One click for a deeper read of experience depth, proficiency, strengths, and gaps.

After the first setup, steps four through six are just your normal sourcing with a score attached. There is nothing to sync and nothing to leave the page for.

Installing takes about 30 seconds: add it from the Chrome Web Store in one click, with no account and no setup before you can score your first profile.

Copilot runs on any Chromium browser, which means Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. That covers the browser most recruiters already use. Chrome alone holds 70.58 percent of the worldwide desktop browser market as of July 2026, according to StatCounter Global Stats, so for most people there is nothing new to download beyond the extension itself.

Because it works as an overlay, it does not care which LinkedIn tier you have. It runs the same on free LinkedIn, Recruiter Lite, and Recruiter Corporate. You do not connect an applicant tracking system, and you are scoring candidates within a couple of minutes of clicking install.

Recruiter Copilot is free forever for 10 job description analyses and 25 AI verifications, and Pro is $9 per month for unlimited use.

Free plan

The free plan includes 10 job description analyses and 25 AI verifications, with no credit card, no trial window, and no expiration. It comes with the instant match scores and skill gap analysis, and it works on any Chromium browser. One JD analysis is each new job description you load. One AI verification is each deep analysis you run on a candidate profile.

Pro plan

Pro is $9 per month. It adds unlimited job description analyses, unlimited AI verifications, and priority processing on top of everything in the free plan. You can cancel anytime from inside the extension, with no contracts and no cancellation fees, and your account simply reverts to the free tier.

You do not have to decide up front. Install the free version, use your allowance to see real results on your own roles, and tap "Upgrade to Pro" inside the extension only when you need more. For the full breakdown, see the pricing page.

For context, other browser and sourcing tools recruiters consider often run from roughly $29 to over $170 per month at the time of writing. Copilot's $9 Pro price sits well below that range, and the free tier lets you prove the value before you pay anything.
