What sets Alister apart
Your AI assistant
is the sourcing tool.
is the sourcing tool.
Most sourcing tools send you back to a dashboard. Alister lives inside Claude.ai — so a missed query becomes a follow-up, not a dead end. Claude keeps iterating with you until the right candidate surfaces.
Search conversationallyDescribe who you need in plain English. Refine by stack, seniority, or company mid-conversation.
Iterate when the first try missesIf a candidate isn't in the database, the assistant broadens the search, tries adjacent stacks, or widens the net — no dead ends.
Shortlists, exports, deep research — in-chatBuild shortlists, trigger deep research on a candidate, and export PDFs without ever leaving your AI assistant.

How It Works
MCP-native sourcing
Connect once.
Source forever.
Source forever.
Alister plugs into your AI assistant in five minutes. From then on, sourcing is a conversation — not a form to fill in.
01
Connect Alister to Claude.ai
Add Alister as a custom connector in Claude.ai settings. OAuth handles auth — no API keys to manage. Five-minute setup.
02
Describe who you need
Ask in plain English. "Senior Python dev in Prague with FastAPI experience" is enough to start.
03
Refine together — no dead ends
When a search doesn't hit, the assistant iterates: broader filters, adjacent stacks, alternative angles. You never hit a zero-results wall.
04
Shortlist, research, export
Save candidates, trigger deep research, export PDFs — all from the chat. The dashboard is optional, not required.
Why Alister AI
01
Real Signals
We don't rely on self-reported CVs. We look at what candidates actually did — on GitHub, at their companies, and in the startup ecosystem.
02
Pre-ranked by quality
We don't wait for you to search before ranking. Every developer is already ranked by education and career track record before you open the tool. You start from quality, not from noise.
03
Talk to it like a recruiter
Connect Claude and just have a conversation. Describe who you need, ask follow-up questions, dig into specific profiles. Or use classic filters if you prefer. Both work.
04
Deep research when it matters
For candidates worth a closer look, run a deep research. The AI pulls together everything relevant like career history, GitHub signals, background context.
