Candidate Sourcing AI Agent

Use this Gobii AI employee for candidate sourcing across public, professional, role-relevant sources.

The agent searches for qualified candidate prospects, evaluates each person against your hiring criteria, and returns a recruiter-ready sourcing shortlist.

The result is a structured candidate sourcing report with names, current or recent roles, companies, locations, source links, fit scores, match summaries, potential gaps, and suggested outreach angles.
