Every Hire Means Losing the Other Great Candidates
Most arts hiring loses every runner-up candidate the moment a role closes — leaving the next opening starting from a blank inbox and forgetting the strong portfolios you've already vetted.
The Old Way
Candidate Inboxes That Vanish at Role Close
When a role closes, every applicant disappears. The next opening starts over from scratch — a blank inbox and no memory of who was strong.
Strong Runner-Ups Forgotten Across Roles
The second-choice candidate for one role would be perfect for the next — but without a persistent record, those connections never happen.
Portfolio Attachments Lost in Email Threads
Portfolios live in email inboxes and downloaded zip files. When a hiring manager leaves, all that vetted work disappears with them.
The Artsume Way
Reusable Candidate Network Across Roles and Years
Every candidate who applies builds into your talent network. Future openings start with a warm pool of people you've already evaluated.
Every Candidate Preserved With Their Portfolio
Candidate records — including their full portfolio — persist after a role closes. Search them again when the next opening comes up.
Cross-Department Talent Visibility
A strong candidate for one team is visible to others hiring across departments. The whole organization benefits from every application.
