Source candidates overnight, then wait for approval to reach out
xAI's recruiting team describes a bot that learns from scorecards and resumes of past hired and rejected candidates, then sources new candidates overnight, adds them to the ATS as leads and drafts outreach sequences. A recruiter approves the send before the bot moves candidates to Reached Out and watches for replies.
What they did
Another bot in the xAI recruiting guide, Scout, reads scorecards and resumes across hundreds of past hired and rejected candidates to learn what worked. It then sources new candidates overnight, adds them to the applicant tracking system as leads and drafts multi-touch outreach sequences.
What happened
The team says a shortlist is ready when recruiters open their laptops. After a recruiter approves the send, the bot moves candidates to the Reached Out stage and watches for replies.
Keep in mind
No numbers on quality of hire, response rates or bias checks are given. Training on past hiring decisions can repeat old biases, so the shortlist needs human review.
Try it with your agent
Study the profiles and scorecards of people we hired and rejected for <role> in <your applicant tracking system> and summarize what the strong hires had in common. Overnight, find up to <number> new candidates who match, add them as leads with a one-line reason each, and draft a three-step outreach sequence for each. Do not send anything until I approve the list and the messages.
Replace the <angle brackets> with your own details.
