Sourcing Candidate Identification

Semantic search and agents identify passive candidates matching complex role profiles.

PilotEvidence: Weak

The problem

Sourcers spend hours searching external profiles for niche skill combinations.

The opportunity

Less time on lookup. A person still owns anything that affects someone's job.

What the solution does

Semantic search and agents identify passive candidates matching complex role profiles.

How it works

Role requirements are translated into search queries; embeddings rank external and internal profile matches.

Limitations and risks

Stale data, inherited bias, and privacy rules. Name a human who is accountable for career-affecting answers.

What implementation requires

Start with one process. Agree how you will score it. Involve legal and HR before you scale. Track whether people use it, not only whether the model is accurate.
