What is AI candidate sourcing?: AI candidate sourcing uses AI to turn a job description into a search, find matching people and rank them against the role — the work a sourcer does with boolean strings, done in minutes.
What is a modern ATS?: A traditional applicant tracking system stores the applicants who find you. A modern ATS also finds candidates, scores every one against the role, and moves them along without manual updates.
Hiring with AI, responsibly: AI is good at the slow parts of hiring — writing the description, searching, reading resumes, booking first calls. People should own the judgment calls. Here is how to split the work.
AI phone screening, explained: An AI phone screen is a first-round call run by an AI voice agent: the candidate books a time, the agent calls and asks role-specific questions, and your team meets the ones who fit.

Where do candidates come from? From a database of public professional profiles, searched with filters the AI builds from your job description, plus everyone who applies through your apply page and anyone you import from CSV. Every sourced candidate has a LinkedIn profile.
How does the AI match score work? Each candidate gets a 0–100 score against the job description, with skills, experience and location sub-scores, a one-line reason and the gap to check. Resumes sent through the apply page are scored too. 80 and above is a strong match.
