Meet the Sourcing Agent. It works every open role against your talent pool, your referral network and your live channels, then hands your recruiters a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached.

Every enterprise is sitting on years of talent it already paid to attract. Past applicants. Silver medalists. Referrals that arrived a quarter too early. Almost none of it gets revisited, because revisiting it is manual work nobody has time for.
So the search restarts at zero. Job posted, boards refreshed, vendors briefed, budget spent on people who were already in your system. RippleHire's Sourcing Agent closes that gap. It reads the approved job, searches what you already own before it looks outside, and gets a shortlist in front of the recruiter while the requisition is still fresh.
The Sourcing Agent runs inside RippleHire's ATS. It picks up the requisition the moment it goes live and starts working, with no boolean strings to write and no separate tool to open.
Sourcing is a judgement call, and judgement stays with your team. The agent does the volume work and puts a defensible shortlist on the recruiter's screen, inside the requisition they are already working in.
Approve, edit or reject in one place — no exports, no parallel spreadsheet
Every decision teaches the agent — rejections sharpen what "right for this role" means
Full auditability — search logic and match reasons stay visible for every candidate surfaced

The Sourcing Agent is an AI agent built into RippleHire's ATS. It reads an approved requisition, searches your existing talent database and connected channels, ranks candidates against the role, and delivers a shortlist with outreach drafted, all without the recruiter writing a single search string.
Standard ATS search waits for a recruiter to ask the right question. The Sourcing Agent starts working the moment the job goes live, keeps working as new candidates arrive, and explains why each candidate matched. Recruiters review output instead of constructing queries.
Your database is the first place it looks, because that is where the fastest and cheapest hires usually sit. It then extends to your career site, referral network and connected sourcing channels.
Yes. Every candidate surfaced carries a match reason tied to the requirements in the JD. Recruiters and hiring managers can see the logic, and audit teams can review it.
No. It removes the search-and-screen grind that eats a recruiter's day. Shortlist approval, candidate conversations and hiring manager alignment stay with your team.
Niche roles benefit most from rediscovery, because the qualified population is small and often already known to you. The agent surfaces prior applicants and referrals for hard-to-fill roles that a fresh search would never reach.
Sourcing runs inside your RippleHire instance under your existing data controls and consent framework.
No. It is part of RippleHire's High-Performance AI ATS and works alongside the other agents on the platform, from demand creation through to onboarding.
