Candidate Sourcing with Agentforce

Create an agent with one of these prebuilt subagents based on your sourcing goals:

• Candidate Sourcing: To identify candidates from the pool of past applicants
• Skill-Based Candidate Sourcing: To identify candidates based on their skillset

Automate and speed up routine recruiter tasks such as reviewing hundreds of past applications to find likely candidates for an opening and then, notify the candidates about the opening.

Recruiters can interact with the agent to complete these tasks.

Identify and reach out to potential candidates

• Find relevant application forms:

  The agent can find past application forms for a position with the same title as the one the recruiter is trying to fill. The agent can also filter the application forms by a recruitment stage that the recruiter specifies. For example, the agent can find all past application forms for an Analyst position that made it past the vetting stage.

• Find candidates with relevant skills:

  The agent scans existing person competencies and person examination records to identify candidates that match the skillsets for a job posting or the skillsets that the recruiter specifies. For example, the agent can find all candidates who have worked with regulatory filings and permit reviews.

Create leads to track outreach

After the recruiter reviews the application forms or candidate details, the agent can create unique leads for the applicants to classify them as potential candidates for the position and track outreach.

Send outreach emails

The agent can send template-based emails to potential candidates to alert them to the job opportunity and invite them to apply.
