The Sourcing Search Strategy Builder
Turns a vague job description into a tighter search strategy — Boolean strings, target companies, signal terms — and writes outreach that doesn't sound like every other recruiter message.
What it does
When a hiring manager hands you a vague job description, this agent reverse-engineers it into a concrete sourcing strategy: a Boolean search string for LinkedIn Recruiter, 15-20 target companies likely to have qualified candidates, a list of signal terms candidates would actually have on their profile, and three differentiated outreach message templates that don't sound like every other recruiter on Earth. Saves the four hours sourcers waste at the start of every new req.
The Manus prompt
Copy this prompt and paste it into Manus AI to run the agent.
When I drop a job description into a folder labeled "new req," analyze it for the underlying skills, seniority, and culture markers. Output a sourcing brief with: (1) a Boolean search string for LinkedIn Recruiter that captures the role accurately; (2) a list of 15-20 target companies (current employers of likely candidates), tiered by candidate-density likelihood; (3) signal terms candidates would actually have on their profile (specific tools, frameworks, certifications); (4) three differentiated outreach templates — one referencing their specific work, one referencing the hiring company's specific opportunity, one casual/networking-toned. Save as a Notion doc.
