AI agent for recruiters
Candidate Sourcing Outreach Sequence Agent
A pipeline of interested qualified candidates from personal outreach
What it does
Recruiters search for passive candidates and send outreach that is often ignored. When a requisition opens, this agent builds search strings from the job's must-haves, runs them in the recruiter's sourcing tools and scores profiles against the role. Every must-have is required. It skips people who opted out or were contacted in the last 6 months. It drafts personal first messages and follow-ups, and the recruiter approves and sends each batch. It tracks replies and checks whether the reply rate reaches the 20% target. If not, it adjusts the search or the message and tries again. Edge case: a candidate who asks not to be contacted again is added to the opt-out list at once and never messaged by any later batch.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
