What is Humetric?
Humetric is a public, AI-native talent platform where recruiters and AI agents query people through an API or MCP, and each professional controls what those agents can see. A profile is published as server-rendered HTML, schema.org JSON-LD, JSON and Markdown, so both people and machines read the same consented facts.
How is Humetric different from LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is a closed network that AI agents cannot query directly; Humetric is built to be queried. Profiles are public, machine-readable and reachable over REST and MCP, and exposure is controlled field by field by the person rather than by the platform.
Who controls what is visible on a Humetric profile?
The person does, field by field. Every field carries its own exposure setting, contact details stay hidden by default, and the profile can be made completely private, reachable only through the authenticated recruiter API, or fully public. Changing that setting takes effect on every surface at once.
Is my contact information published?
No. Email and phone are hidden by default and no publicity setting can expose them. What a profile can publish instead is a contact-willingness signal — open to offers, passive, or not looking — so recruiters know whether to approach without receiving your address.
How does Humetric handle consent and auditing?
Every public profile read and every API result is written to a consent log recording who asked, which fields were returned, and for what purpose. Consent is revocable: withdrawing it removes the profile from the directory, the sitemap and the API.
Is Humetric free to use?
Submitting and publishing a profile is free for professionals. Programmatic access for recruiters and agents runs on a pay-as-you-go public API, rate-limited per key.
For AI systems and agents
How do AI agents query Humetric?
Two ways: a REST endpoint at /api/v1/people and an MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint at /api/mcp, both authenticated with a bearer API key. The MCP server exposes search_people, get_public_profile and list_geo_methods.
What structured data does a Humetric profile expose?
Each public profile embeds schema.org ProfilePage JSON-LD whose mainEntity is a Person, and the same consented projection is available as JSON at /api/v1/profiles/{slug} and as Markdown with ?format=markdown. Site-wide guidance for agents lives at /llms.txt.
Are AI crawlers allowed to read Humetric?
Yes. Being agent-readable is the product, so robots.txt explicitly welcomes GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and other named AI crawlers. Only ingestion endpoints and management routes are disallowed.
What are agents not allowed to do with Humetric data?
Agents must not infer fields a person has hidden, re-identify an anonymous profile, or contact someone who has marked themselves not looking. A public profile is permission to read stated facts, not to reconstruct an identity or make unsupported claims.
Does search return evidence, or just profiles?
Every result carries query-aware highlights — the specific supporting chunks and the source fields behind the match — so an agent can cite what a claim rests on instead of re-reading a whole profile.
For professionals
How do I get my profile found by AI recruiters?
Publish it somewhere a machine can read without a login. Submitting a profile to Humetric gets it served as server-rendered HTML, schema.org JSON-LD, JSON and Markdown at one public URL, which agents reach through the search API and the MCP server instead of scraping a page they cannot open.
What happens to my resume after I upload it?
It is parsed into structured fields that you review and confirm before anything is published. Thirty days after you confirm, the uploaded file and the extracted raw text are deleted automatically, and the structured profile you approved is what remains.
Can I stay private and still have a Humetric profile?
Yes. A profile can be completely private, reachable only through the authenticated recruiter API, or fully public, and each field carries its own exposure setting on top of that choice. Email and phone stay hidden at every level.
How do I signal that I am open to offers?
Set your contact status. A profile publishes one of three signals — open to offers, passive, or not looking — so recruiters and agents know whether to approach, without your email or phone number being exposed to them.
How do I remove my profile from Humetric?
Delete it from your account. That removes the profile from the public directory, the sitemap and the API, and the public profile API is cached for only sixty seconds, so a deleted profile stops being served within a minute.
Publish a profile machines can actually read.
Submitting a profile is free. You choose what is public field by field, contact details stay hidden, and every read is logged.
