AI sourcing: frequently asked questions
What is AI sourcing software?
AI sourcing software helps recruiters discover candidates who have not applied for a role and assess their relevance to the job requirements. GoPerfect combines candidate discovery with ranked Match Cards and explainable Match Scores to support recruiter review.
How does GoPerfect find passive candidates?
Your team describes the role and relevant requirements. GoPerfect uses candidate profile information and career context to identify matches. Review the resulting profiles and reasoning to check the fit for your specific role.
Is AI sourcing the same as outbound recruiting?
Sourcing focuses on finding and assessing prospective candidates. Outbound recruiting also includes engaging those people and managing their progression. GoPerfect connects these steps, while keeping candidate relevance, outreach, and hiring decisions distinct.
What are Match Cards and Match Scoring?
A Match Card combines career context, the role criteria, and the evidence behind the match assessment. Review supported and inferred fit alongside any gaps. Use the explanation and candidate evidence together rather than treating the assessment as the final decision.
How does recruiter feedback affect the shortlist?
Approve and skip feedback helps GoPerfect refine candidate matching. Your team defines the role requirements and reviews the results. Hiring decisions remain your team’s responsibility.
Can GoPerfect also handle applicant screening?
Yes. Applicant screening evaluates people who have applied, while sourcing finds prospective candidates outside that applicant pool. The two workflows can support the same role within GoPerfect.
Can I use GoPerfect with my ATS or CRM?
You can use GoPerfect’s native ATS and CRM or connect existing systems. Connector availability, supported data, and sync behavior depend on the integration and configuration. Confirm the requirements for your workflow before connecting.
What should I check in an AI sourcing demo?
Bring a representative role. Review the requirements, candidate relevance, Match Score reasoning, and missing information. Then check how the shortlist moves into outreach and your candidate-management workflow. Coverage and time to a usable shortlist vary by role and setup.
