Recruitment Outreach

Sourcing is the slow half of recruiting. You define the role, hunt for people who fit it at the right kind of company, then chase down a personal email so your message doesn't die in a LinkedIn inbox. It's repetitive, and it's the same loop for every req. An AI agent can run that loop for you.

With Poncho, you describe the candidate profile and it builds the outreach list. You name the role, the company type, and the seniority, and the agent finds matching people and enriches them with a way to reach out. No sourcing tool to license, no manual scraping.

This page covers how the sourcing-to-outreach workflow runs on Poncho and the templates that handle each step.

How the Sourcing Workflow Runs

Recruitment outreach is two moves once the role is defined: find the right people, then get a real way to contact them. On Poncho that's one chained request. You describe the candidate, and the agent returns a list you can message today.

Say you're filling a senior backend role at a fintech. You tell Poncho: "Find senior backend engineers at US fintech companies under 200 people, then get me their email and LinkedIn." The agent surfaces the candidates by role and company filter, then enriches each with contact details. You go from an open req to a warm list without opening a sourcing tool.

The value is in chaining the two steps. Finding people and reaching them are usually separate tools with separate logins. Here, the list of names flows straight into enrichment, so you brief the profile once and Poncho sequences the work.

Templates That Power It

The runnable pieces of the recruiting workflow:

• Find people surfaces candidates by role at companies matching your filter, returning the list to review before you enrich.
• Enrich people adds verified email, phone, and LinkedIn so you can reach out on the channel that actually works.

Pair them and you have a sourcing pipeline: describe the candidate, get a contactable shortlist.

What to Do Next

Start with the open role in front of you. Run Find people with the role and company filter, then chain Enrich people to turn the shortlist into outreach-ready contacts. No setup, no per-tool subscription, and the first list takes a sentence. Start free on Poncho and source your next role in one chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Poncho source candidates like a dedicated recruiting tool?

For finding and enriching candidates, yes. You describe the profile and Poncho surfaces matching people by role and company, then enriches them with contact details, all from one account. You skip the dedicated sourcing seat and the separate enrichment subscription, and pay only for the lists you actually pull.

What contact details do I get for each candidate?

Enrichment returns verified work email, phone, and LinkedIn where available, so you can pick the channel most likely to land. Results show up inline, so you can scan the list and re-run anyone who comes back thin before you start outreach.

How specific should my search be?

The more specific, the better the match. Name the role, the seniority, and the kind of company, like "senior backend engineers at US fintechs under 200 people." Poncho reads that intent and filters accordingly, so a precise brief gives you a cleaner shortlist with less to weed out.
