Use caseSourcing

Source candidates in plain English.

Describe the role in plain English. Vitae searches LinkedIn, GitHub, CoreSignal, Apollo, and Exa in parallel, dedupes the results, and ranks the shortlist. No Boolean. No tab juggling.

01How sourcing actually works today/ seven tools, one shortlist

What sourcing looks like now.

Most recruiters run a sourcing motion across 5 to 7 tools, with a Google Sheet doing the integration. It works. It also takes most of the week.

01
LinkedIn Recruiter
Boolean strings, manual paging, copy-paste lists
02
GitHub or portfolio sites
Open in tabs, eyeball commit history, hope you remember
03
CoreSignal or SeekOut
Different syntax, different filters, different shortlist
04
Apollo or ContactOut
For email and phone, opened separately every time
05
Exa or perplexity
For 'who is the X at company Y' that Boolean cannot answer
06
A Google Sheet
Where you paste candidates from all five sources and try to dedupe
07
ChatGPT in another tab
To rewrite your Boolean string when it returns nothing
02Where this breaks/ four failure modes

Why most sourcing motions leak.

Boolean strings are a translator's job

Most recruiters write decent Boolean. Few write great Boolean. The candidates who match get worse the further you are from a search engineer.

Five sources mean five shortlists

Different sources surface different people. Combining them by hand means a pile of CSVs and a Google Sheet. Most recruiters skip 3 of the 5.

Duplication eats the day

The same candidate shows up in LinkedIn, CoreSignal, and Apollo. Manual de-duping takes longer than the actual sourcing.

No memory of past searches

You searched this exact role last quarter. The good leads are gone. The Boolean is in your downloads folder. The shortlist is nowhere.
