The strategy screen

The agent builds the strategy. You stay in control.

Before searching, the Sourcing Agent proposes the strategies it believes will find the best candidates — including target companies, relevant titles and different routes into the talent market.

You see the logic, make any changes you want, and approve the plan before the search begins.

Once approved, the agent searches across the curated database and open web, adapting its strategies as results come in.
