AI agent for recruitment coordinators

Sourcing Channel Quality and Spend Agent

A channel scorecard showing cost per qualified applicant and cost per hire, with clear recommendations on where to move budget.

Sourcing Channel Quality and Spend Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Each month you pay invoices from job boards and ad platforms, but nobody can say which ones produced hires. This agent joins that spend with the source tags in your ATS. It first checks that source tags are filled in. If many candidates have no source, it lists them and asks you to fix the gaps, then recalculates once you confirm. It then works out cost per qualified applicant and cost per hire for each channel, and flags channels with spend but no interviews. It compares this month with the last three. You decide what to do with the findings. Edge case: a board with one expensive hire may look bad on cost per hire, so the agent shows the sample size and marks small samples as low confidence.

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.

How it decides

It ranks channels by cost per hire and interview rate, but only trusts a channel with at least 20 applicants or 2 hires in the period.

  • Flag a channel with spend over $500 and no interviews in the month
  • Treat results as low confidence under 20 applicants or 2 hires
  • Suggest a pause only after 2 months of no interviews
  • Suggest more budget for channels with cost per hire below 70% of the average

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Minimum tag coverage before calculating (default 95%)
  • Minimum sample size per channel
  • Months of no interviews before suggesting a pause (default 2)
  • Which channels count as paid

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Coordinator approves any budget shift
  • Coordinator approves pausing any channel

Hard limits

  • Never pause or buy anything on a platform
  • Never report cost per hire from fewer than 2 hires without a low confidence mark

It stops when

  • Done: scorecard approved and filed
  • Stop: source tags remain under 95% after one reminder

An example run

What happensIn October the agent found 41 of 380 candidates untagged. It listed them, the coordinator fixed 38, and the agent reloaded. Board X showed $1,800 spent and 0 interviews for the second month. Board Y had 3 hires at $420 each. The agent recommended pausing X and moving $1,000 to Y. The coordinator approved the pause only.
