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.
