Every open requisition gets a digital recruiter working it 24/7. Phenom Sourcing Agent finds the right candidates in your talent pool and beyond, drafts personalized outreach, and hands it to recruiters ready to send. Your team spends more time closing, not searching.
Recruiters often lose productivity when operating in the same cycle: manually digging through the CRM and ATS, not finding the right candidates, and then looking externally. To quickly get through long req lists, they default to generic outreach messaging. By this time, the best candidates have already accepted a job somewhere else and time to fill slows.
When a new requisition is created, Sourcing Agent searches your internal pipeline and talent networks at the same time. It surfaces Candidate Segments (each a distinct group of matched candidates), with a plain-language explanation for why they fit. It then drafts multi-step personalized outreach and puts it in front of your recruiter ready for review. Your recruiter always decides what goes out and when.
Try itMost sourcing tools hand back a list with no explanation for why anyone's on it. Sourcing Agent shows its work: every Candidate Segment ships with a plain-language explanation of the fit, and the underlying filter criteria stay visible and editable. It searches your pipeline and expanded talent networks at once, not one after the other, so the first list you see is already the complete one.
Explainable by default: every match includes plain-language reasoning, not a hidden score.
Simultaneous search: pipeline and expanded talent networks searched together, not sequentially.
Recruiter-controlled send: the agent drafts and sequences outreach, nothing sends without review.
Find the right talent faster. Give recruiters the final say.
Sourcing doesn't have to wait for an open requisition. Start a proactive chat search before a role is even posted, or let the agent activate automatically the moment a requisition is created.
Proactive search: Describe a role, tag a job, or upload a job description.
Automatic activation: The agent kicks off the moment a requisition opens.
Manual activation: Trigger sourcing from the requisition's sourcing tab or jobs page.
Results never come back as one flat list. Get candidate segments that exactly match your ask, as well as adjacent talent the agent identified as potential fits (each back by reasoning).
Candidate lists fixed to your criteria, refreshes as candidates arrive.
Talent with adjacent roles or skills, explained by each candidate.
Reasoning and Filter Criteria tabs show the logic behind every segment.
Choosing a group of candidates and sending a message doesn’t start with a template. Sourcing agent analyzes the job and specific candidates chosen, then builds and sends a sequence tailored to both.
Multi-channel sequences: Email and SMS you can edit before it’s sent.
Automatically adds these candidates as job leads and tracks every reply.
Stops instantly if a candidate applies or replies negatively.
From open requisition to ready-to-send outreach.
A new requisition is created, a recruiter’s call, or a recruiter manually activating Sourcing Agent mode within X+ Source.
Searches everywhere at once, including internal CRM/ATS and talent networks. Applies X+ Ontologies to match candidates to role requirements.
Groups matched candidates into explainable segments, each with a plain-language reason they fit. Drafts a multi-step, personalized outreach sequence for each one.
If a search returns too few strong matches, Sourcing Agent proposes expansion paths, such as widening the radius or adjusting must-have criteria. Each recommendation comes with an estimated impact on the candidate count, so the recruiter can decide instead of starting over.
New requisition creation or manual activation of Sourcing Agent mode inside X+ Source.
Sourcing Agent decides which candidates make up each segment, the match rationale, and the draft outreach content and sequence.
Before any outreach is sent, Sourcing Agent triggers to the recruiter to review and send.
Every segment's filter criteria and match rationale, plus each candidate's outreach and engagement activity.
Sourcing Agent removes the manual search and first draft, not the recruiter. Recruiters choose which segments to pursue, edit any outreach before it sends, and step in whenever a candidate replies or the agent flags an inferred detail instead of treating it as confirmed.
Sourcing Agent works from the same candidate records, skills data, and outreach tools as the rest of Phenom, so a segment the agent builds lands in the pipeline recruiters already run, not in a separate system.
Sourcing Agent lives within X+ Source, searching your Talent CRM, ATS, and talent networks in one pass. Feed it sourcing criteria from Intake Agent for sharper segments from the first search.
Matching, ranking, and outreach all run on X+ Ontologies, the layer that reads skills and experience in context instead of matching on keywords and job titles alone.
Candidate data is protected under Phenom's SOC 2 Type II certification and supports GDPR requirements, with every match, ranking, and message logged for audit.
