🤖 The Rise of AI Agents in Recruiting
Most recruiters are still using AI the same way - paste a job description into ChatGPT or asking Claude for interview questions.
That's not a system - that's a prompt.
AI agents are changing that.
Instead of one-off prompts, agents are purpose-built to own a specific part of the workflow - trained on patterns, not just instructions.
And in recruiting, where the process is repeatable and the stakes are high, they fit naturally.
In fact, we built three of them 🤯
Each with a specific job, each trained on patterns from 1,000+ real placements.
Not generic.
Not theoretical.
Built from the recruiting process we actually run every day.
And now we're giving them away for FREE.
The full breakdown is just below - don’t miss it! 😉

🦾 The Three Agents
🔍 The Sourcing Agent
Builds candidate profiles, identifies target companies, and maps the 70%+ of talent that never sees your job posting.
Feed it a role - it gives you:
Market map
Target list
Search strategy to find these people
📋 The Screening Agent
Ranks candidates, flags red flags, and detects AI-generated applications.
This agent is trained to separate real experience from polished fiction.
📩 The Outreach Agent
Writes personalized emails and LinkedIn messages with full follow-up sequences.
Not canned-templates.
Not "I came across your profile."
Real personalization with cadence, variation, and a reason to reply - 20–35% reply rates vs. the 2–5% industry average.
How to Use Them
Each agent comes with the exact system prompt we use.
Download the markdown files, paste them into a Claude Project, and you're live.
