What is Hublyd and what problem does it solve?

Hublyd is a customer reference management platform built for B2B sales teams. The core problem it solves: salespeople spend hours hunting through folders, emails, and shared drives to find the right customer story for a given prospect, and often end up with a generic deck that does not land. Hublyd centralizes all your customer references in one searchable hub, lets you find the perfect match for any prospect in seconds using AI, and generates a localized slide deck, PDF, or LinkedIn post automatically. Every proof scores.

Hublyd is for B2B sales and marketing teams whose goal is to win more deals by showing prospects examples that speak directly to them. When a potential client sees a success story from a company in their own industry, their region, or facing the exact same challenges, the pitch becomes proof. Hublyd makes it easy to find that reference instantly, build compelling content around it, and present it at the right moment in the sales cycle, in any format or language.

How does the AI search work in Hublyd?

Hublyd's AI search lets you describe what you need in plain language, for example, a reference in the industrial sector, European company, similar size to my prospect, and surfaces the most relevant customer stories from your database instantly. You can also filter by industry, geography, company size, technology, or any custom field you have defined.

What types of content can Hublyd generate?

From a single customer reference, Hublyd can generate: a localized PowerPoint or PDF slide deck using your branded template, a LinkedIn post, and AI-powered conversations based on your references, letting you chat with your own data to surface insights, prepare for a meeting, or craft the right pitch in seconds.

How does multilingual support work?

Hublyd supports a wide range of languages. When you generate a slide deck or social post, you can output it in virtually any language through on-the-fly AI translation. Your references can also be stored in multiple languages simultaneously depending on your plan, so your entire library stays accessible to global teams.

Can I customize my reference database?

Yes. Hublyd does not impose a fixed structure. Each team designs their own reference database, choosing the fields that matter for their business: industry, technology stack, geography, deal size, use case, or anything else. The AI search and content generation then work on top of that custom structure.

Can I import my existing customer references?

Yes. Hublyd supports multiple import methods: you can import from XLS or CSV files, mapping your columns to your custom fields. You can also import directly from an existing presentation, where each slide becomes a reference in your library. If you are starting fresh, you design your fields and build your library progressively. Hublyd grows with you.

Is Hublyd secure? Where is my data stored?

Hublyd is designed in compliance with ISO 27001 principles. Your data is protected with secure encryption, controlled key management, and safeguards against unauthorized access. The platform runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure with data hosted in Europe. Hublyd does not use your customer references to train AI models.

Does Hublyd integrate with our CRM?

Hublyd currently operates as a standalone platform with CSV and XLS import for bringing in references. Native CRM integrations are on the roadmap. In the meantime, references can be pulled from any source via import and enriched directly in the platform.

How does Hublyd handle client consent and reference authorization?

Hublyd includes a full consent management workflow. You can generate a public link and send it directly to your client, who fills in or validates the reference themselves without a Hublyd account. A written agreement is then generated between both parties and signed electronically, stored and tracked in the application. If the reference changes, you can send it back for re-validation in one click. Each reference also has a visibility level: Confidential (strictly internal), Restricted (presentations and meetings only, not for public social networks), or Public (fully authorized for all uses including marketing and LinkedIn).

How much does Hublyd cost?

Hublyd offers 4 plans, all billed per seat per month: Kick-Off (free, 50 references, 1 template, limited AI chatbot); Warm Up (paid, 500 references, unlimited deck generations, 2 stored languages, AI search and social posts included); Podium (paid, unlimited references, 5 languages, multiple libraries, map view, all AI features unlimited); Champion (enterprise, custom limits and dedicated support). Annual billing saves up to 17%.

Is there a free plan? What are its limits?

Yes. The Kick-Off plan is permanently free. It includes up to 50 customer references, 1 deck template, unlimited standard search, CSV and XLS import, and a limited AI Reference Chat (5 questions). AI-powered deck generation with custom language costs 0.50€ per generation, and LinkedIn posts cost 0.50€ each. No credit card required to start.

How is Hublyd different from the tools we already use?

Hublyd does not replace your CRM, shared drive, or content library. It adds a dedicated workspace for customer proof: structured references, contextual search, usage rights governance, and activation across slides, PDFs, and localized content. Your existing tools keep doing their job — Hublyd handles the proof layer they were never designed for. Read more: https://hublyd.com/blog/what-hublyd-adds-to-your-stack

How Hublyd Streamlines the Sales Cycle and Talent Placement for IT Staffing Firms

In the IT staffing industry, responsiveness is the single biggest driver of success. The challenge cuts two ways: absorbing a constant stream of applications and new consultants on one side, and instantly proposing the right expert for a client's technical needs on the other.

The Operational Challenge for IT Staffing Firms: Visibility and Skills Valuation

The core problem is information management. With hundreds of CVs coming in and engineers with wildly different profiles, it becomes genuinely hard for an account manager or salesperson placing experts to know exactly who has which skill at any given moment. Data stays locked inside static files, making it slow and tedious to search for specific expertise: a technology, a version, a vertical.

Common symptoms:

Skills buried inside PDF and PPTX CVs nobody can search
No single, up-to-date view of who is available and qualified
Account managers relying on memory or word-of-mouth to find the right consultant
Hours lost reformatting CVs for every new client submission

Centralize Your Talent in a Data-Driven Database

Hublyd turns this process around by letting you import CVs (PDF or PPTX) and convert them into a structured, dynamic database that adapts to each IT staffing firm's own domain and target clients.

Unlike simple file storage, Hublyd extracts and organizes the data in a truly data-driven way. Every skill (soft or hard), every project, every piece of technical knowledge becomes a filterable field. Your talent pool stops being a pile of documents and becomes a single, centralized search hub, ready for your sales teams to use.

Standardize Your Proposals: Automatic CV Generation

An IT staffing firm's brand is built on the quality of its presentations. Hublyd's automatic slide generation produces consultant CVs that strictly follow your graphic charter: fonts, logos, layout.

In one click, the data extracted from an engineer's CV is injected into your standardized PPT template. That guarantees perfect consistency across every skills dossier you send to clients, while cutting hours of manual formatting down to seconds.

Perfect Matching with Conversational AI and RAG

To respond to a tender or a specific project, Hublyd puts the power of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to work.

Account managers and salespeople can use Hublyd's AI Reference Chat to run advanced searches in plain language. Type a query like "Find me an engineer with 5 years of Java experience who's worked on Cloud projects in the banking sector," and the AI queries the database to instantly surface the best-fit profiles. That speed lets you submit the right expert before the competition does.

"We used to spend hours combing through CVs to answer a single RFP. Now we ask a question and get the right profile in seconds." (Typical feedback from IT staffing account managers.)

Localize Consultant CVs with Native Translation

If your IT staffing firm, or your clients, operate internationally, generating consultant CVs in the client's language has never been simpler, thanks to Hublyd's native translation.

The platform instantly localizes your presentations and content into multiple languages, eliminating the delays and costs of external translation services. You keep a consistent brand voice while adapting to the cultural and linguistic specifics of every market you serve.

Maximum Security and Native GDPR Compliance

Handling employees' and candidates' personal data demands absolute rigor. Hublyd is built on a security-first architecture, where all sensitive data is protected by AES-256-GCM application-layer encryption.

The database is fully encrypted before information is even written to disk, so that in the event of a breach, the data stays unreadable. This privacy-by-design approach ensures full compliance with GDPR and modern cloud security principles, giving IT staffing firms complete peace of mind over the protection of their intellectual and personal capital.
