The search engines that decide your career are now AI.
Recruiter AIs and assistants like ChatGPT already rank and describe you. Surfd shows you what they see, scores your discoverability for the roles you want, and tells you exactly what to change.
Free scan. Your own public data. No manipulation, ever.
Building your graph: 3 repositories, 11 skills, 2 publications, 1 stale headline
Being findable stopped meaning what you think it means.
Keyword search is dead
Sourcing engines like SeekOut, hireEZ, and Eightfold index over a billion profiles. They do not match your exact words. They embed your entire footprint and rank you by meaning.
There is no page two
Ask an assistant who the best people in a niche are and it names a handful. You are in that paragraph or you are invisible. There is nothing to climb.
Google no longer protects you
The overlap between what ranks on Google and what AI engines cite has collapsed from roughly 70% to under 20%. A good Google presence no longer carries over.
See yourself the way the machines do. Then fix it.
The Discoverability Score
One number per target role, built from seven explainable pillars. Every point is defensible and every pillar tells you what moves it most.
Recruiter-AI Simulator
Run recruiter-style queries through a panel of engines and see roughly where you land. Measured results and modeled results, always labeled.
LLM Mention Simulator
Ask the major assistants the questions that define your niche. See if you are named, how you are described, and who gets named instead of you.
The Discoverability Graph
Your entire public footprint as a living knowledge graph: every skill, project, and claim, with the evidence behind it and the gaps in plain sight.
Built on real signal, not tricks.
The category is opaque. Surfd is the opposite.
Your own public data
Surfd only reads the public footprint you point it at, with your consent. See every source, disconnect any source, delete everything.
Every score explainable
Scores are computed deterministically from evidence you can inspect. No black box. The AI polishes prose, never numbers.
Measured vs modeled
Real captured answers are labeled measured. Simulations are labeled modeled. We never blur the two.
No manipulation
No fabricated credentials, no hidden text, no prompt injection. Sourcing tools detect those anyway. Surfd improves the real signal only.
The levers are known. Almost nobody uses them for people.
