Where the time actually goes
A recruiter’s search routine usually has four repeated steps.
- Opening several boards and re-running saved searches.
- Scanning results for postings already seen.
- Opening each one to check location, employment type and work authorization.
- Copying the good ones into a tracker.
What to automate
Collection, de-duplication and first-pass filtering do not need judgment.
- Collecting new postings on a schedule.
- Collapsing duplicates.
- Filtering by title, skills, experience, work authorization and contract type for each candidate.
What a recruiter should keep
Reading the posting for the details rules cannot judge, calling the candidate, and deciding whether to submit remain human work.
A simple way to start
Load your five strongest bench candidates with accurate target titles, review their matches each morning for a week, then widen. The job feed and matching rules do the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Will automation find every requirement?
No tool sees every requirement. Automated sourcing covers public postings; relationships with vendors still produce requirements that never appear on a board.
