Your reality: critical roles age, hiring managers escalate, and recruiters spend most of their week hunting profiles instead of closing hires. Passive candidates do not reply to generic messages, and pipeline coverage swings with capacity. Industry benchmarks show time-to-hire often ranges 35–41 days and interviews-per-hire continue to rise, while leaders demand speed and quality. Meanwhile, LinkedIn data confirms what teams feel daily: short, targeted InMails get higher responses, and AI-personalized outreach increases acceptance rates.
This is the execution gap. You need consistent, high-quality outbound at scale without adding headcount or tools. And you need it to be compliant, personalized, and measurable.
What it is: Your dedicated AI talent scout for passive candidates. It identifies the right prospects across LinkedIn and professional networks, analyzes fit, crafts tailored multi-touch outreach, routes for approval, and runs coordinated campaigns across LinkedIn and email. It transforms outbound sourcing from manual hunting into systematic, high-response engagement that fills slates fast and raises quality.
Description (from the blueprint): This AI Worker specializes in outbound recruitment by identifying passive candidates on LinkedIn and other professional networks, then engaging them with highly personalized outreach. Your recruiter provides the role requirements and search parameters, and this worker executes searches, extracts candidate profiles, crafts customized messages across LinkedIn and email, obtains approval, and manages multi-channel outreach—transforming passive candidate sourcing from manual hunting to strategic talent engagement. The worker operates as your dedicated talent scout for passive candidates, understanding how to identify the right prospects, analyze their backgrounds for fit, and craft compelling outreach that generates responses from candidates who aren't actively looking but would be perfect for your role.
Scenario 1: Senior Backend Engineer (Remote-friendly)
User input: “Source backend engineers with 6–10 years, Go + Kubernetes, top 50 cloud-native companies, North America, flexible hybrid.”
AI Worker: Runs LinkedIn skills-first searches, enriches profiles, scores fit, and drafts 4-step outreach personalized to each candidate’s repos, talks, and recent work. Sends on behalf of the hiring manager for critical candidates to lift reply rates. Tracks replies and schedules screens.
Expected outcomes: 40–60 qualified prospects identified in 48 hours; first interviews booked within 3–5 business days; response rates rise with concise, tailored messaging, aligned to LinkedIn best practices for short InMails and Gem’s multi-touch sequencing benchmarks.
Scenario 2: Enterprise AE (Territory Expansion)
User input: “Target AEs with complex SaaS deal cycles in fintech accounts; 5+ years; quota attainment proof; Midwest.”
AI Worker: Harvests signals from profiles and public content, composes outreach that cites relevant wins, territory fit, and EVP highlights. Runs approvals, then orchestrates LinkedIn InMail + email staggered sends with weekend “catch-up” timing to lift open rates. Pushes engaged candidates to the ATS with structured notes and compensation cues.
Expected outcomes: Slate readiness under one week; higher interested-to-interview conversion with hiring-manager SOBO messaging; faster movement to panel due to pre-qualified context.

Below is the operating blueprint the worker follows—translated into business terms so your team knows exactly how it works and what you can expect.
| User Input | Role requirements, search parameters, target companies, experience bands, technical or domain skills, location preferences, compensation guardrails, diversity objectives, and sample outreach tone. E.g., “Source passive candidates” with LinkedIn search URLs included for calibration. |
| Knowledge Sources | Sourcing best practices; outreach templates; company value propositions; role selling points; compensation positioning; candidate engagement strategies; skills-first criteria derived from hiring manager intake and past successful hires. |
| Agent Orchestration | Search method selection → LinkedIn search execution → Profile data extraction → Fit analysis and ranking → Message personalization (short, candidate-specific hooks) → Approval workflow → Multi-channel outreach sequencing (LinkedIn + email) → Response tracking and ATS handoff. |
| Integrations | LinkedIn APIs (Recruiter and Standard), LinkedIn Messaging/InMail; email service providers; contact discovery services; profile extraction tools; engagement tracking; ATS/CRM connectors (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters) for structured transfer. |
| Output | Ranked prospect lists with evidence of fit; approved multi-touch outreach; tracking dashboards for response and interested-to-interview conversion; ATS-ready profiles with notes, signals, and next-step recommendations. |
Channels: Slack/Teams for requests and approvals; email + LinkedIn for outreach; web console for campaigns and analytics; mobile notifications for approvals on the go.
Interaction formats: Chat commands (“Build a slate for Principal Data Scientist in Boston”), voice briefings, API triggers from your ATS, and scheduled workflows for evergreen roles. Human-in-the-loop approvals at key checkpoints keep you in control.
Integration points: LinkedIn Recruiter, email providers, contact discovery, ATS/CRM bi-directional sync, analytics pipelines. Deployment options include cloud-based with enterprise security; on-prem or hybrid on request.
Primary persona: Directors and Heads of Talent Acquisition/Recruiting who own headcount delivery, budget, and vendor ROI for 250–2,000+ employee organizations. Typical team mix includes recruiters, sourcers, TA ops, and coordinators with tool sprawl and limited analytics support. Key KPIs: time-to-hire (target 35–41 days), offer acceptance, interviews-per-hire, diversity pass-through, and recruiter productivity SLAs.
Pain points addressed: aged reqs and schedule slippage, generic outreach with low replies, inconsistent process quality, weak DEI sourcing coverage, and variable slate quality for hard-to-fill roles. The worker standardizes best practices and brings consistent execution every day—without adding FTEs.
Hours saved and capacity: Recruiters often report 10–20+ hours per week spent on searching, list-building, and first-pass outreach. Automating searches, enrichment, and multi-touch personalization recovers 8–15 hours per recruiter per week. On a team of 8 recruiters, that is 64–120 hours weekly—1.6–3.0 FTE capacity—reallocated to candidate conversations and hiring manager partnership.
Short, tailored InMails outperform generic copy, and AI-assisted messages have shown materially higher acceptance rates. Multi-touch sequences double replies and lift interest rates.
Efficiency and quality: Expect 25–40% faster slate readiness for common roles and 10–20% faster first-interview scheduling due to higher response rates and pre-qualified context. Standardized, concise outreach improves consistency and reduces errors in role positioning. Skills-first searches expand pools and support DEI goals.
Cost impact: At an annual cost near $10K, the worker typically replaces multiple point tools used for contact discovery, sequencing, and manual scraping, while reducing reliance on contract sourcers for surge periods. For mid-market teams, eliminating even one external sourcing engagement or consolidating one redundant subscription can offset most of the cost. Additional gains come from reducing aging reqs, avoiding lost productivity from vacancies, and lowering agency spend on hard-to-fill roles.
