AI Recruitment Agency — Candidate Sourcing Pipeline

A small AI agency built an automated candidate sourcing pipeline for SMB clients on AnySite's LinkedIn endpoints.

Problem

Small and mid-sized businesses compete for talent against enterprises with dedicated recruiting teams, but rarely have the in-house capacity to build automated sourcing systems. Most still rely on job postings and inbound applications, which misses candidates who are open to a move but not actively job-hunting.

Path

A small AI agency built a candidate sourcing pipeline for its SMB clients on AnySite's LinkedIn REST endpoints, staged as:

  1. Discover — search candidates by role, skills, and location.
  2. Verify — check work history and seniority against the role.
  3. Research — profile the candidate's current employer.
  4. Expand — map the rest of that employer's workforce for adjacent candidates (an account-based "find one, surface the team" pattern).
  5. Enrich — pull full profiles for the shortlist.
  6. Contact — retrieve an email address for outreach.

Each stage narrows the pool: only candidates that pass verification move to enrichment, and only enriched, ICP-matching candidates get an outreach email.

Result

Clients get candidates identified and ready for outreach in hours instead of weeks, sourced directly from LinkedIn's full network rather than passive inbound applications. The agency runs this pipeline as a production service for multiple client engagements from a single AnySite subscription.
