What this template does

Use this Gobii AI employee to find and evaluate candidates across public, professional, and role-relevant sources. For a closer look at the process, see how Gobii handles AI candidate sourcing.

Tell the agent who you're looking for: the role, must-have and nice-to-have skills, seniority, location, target companies or industries, and any dealbreakers. It turns that brief into a search it can run again, checks each profile against your criteria, and builds a shortlist for your recruiter to review.

The report gives you each candidate's name, current or recent role, company, location, and source links. You'll also see a fit score, notes on why they match, anything that needs a closer look, and ideas for outreach.

Best for

  • Recruiters building and qualifying candidate pipelines
  • Founders and hiring managers sourcing directly

  • Recruiting leaders preparing weekly funnel reports

  • Recruiter-ready candidate shortlists

  • Weekly funnel metrics, response rates, and next-step reports

Inputs to provide

How it works

  1. Extracts the sourcing, qualification, and exclusion criteria.
  2. Searches role-relevant public and professional sources.
  3. Evaluates each prospect and returns a source-linked shortlist.
  4. Drafts personalized outreach for candidates approved by a recruiter.
  5. Updates candidate, outreach, and response status in the chosen tracker.
  6. Reports funnel metrics, response rates, blockers, and next actions.

How to customize it

Choose the candidate stages, qualification rubric, outreach voice, required human approvals, reporting cadence, and privacy constraints. Greenhouse can create approved candidate records, Google Sheets can maintain the shared candidate and response tracker, and Slack can deliver shortlist alerts, notifications, and weekly recruiting-funnel reports.

The former Talent Scout and Talent Sourcer workflows are consolidated here. Choose real-time alerts, daily batches, or weekly recruiting-funnel reports, and refine adjacent talent pools as role, location, seniority, and experience criteria change.

Tools it uses

  • Greenhouse: Create approved candidate records and maintain ATS handoff.
  • Google Sheets: Track candidates, outreach status, responses, and funnel metrics.
  • Slack: Send shortlist alerts, status notifications, and weekly recruiting reports.

Starter charter

A clean, reusable playbook you can adapt for your own workflows.

Run a human-reviewed candidate-sourcing workflow for the user's open role. Confirm required and preferred skills, seniority, location, target industries, company backgrounds, and exclusions. Discover and qualify prospects using role-relevant public evidence. Return a structured shortlist with sources, fit reasoning, and gaps. For approved candidates, draft personalized outreach without sending autonomously, maintain candidate and response status, and summarize funnel progress, response rates, blockers, and next actions.
