Candidate sourcing without the hours of tab-hopping - on Microsoft Copilot

The $19 Sourcing Agent runs on Microsoft Copilot as three plain-text files: set it up once in a Microsoft 365 Copilot Notebook, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Sourcing Agent does

If your company runs on Microsoft 365, this agent lives where the files already are. Hand it an approved role and a sourcing target. You get back a review queue of candidate LinkedIn URLs, each with job-relevant evidence and a source trace, saved as a Google Sheet in your own Drive.

Sourcing means opening tabs, running the same LinkedIn searches, copying profile URLs into a sheet and trying to remember why each person looked right. Two hours later you have nine rows, no evidence column, and a hiring manager asking where the shortlist is.

Where the three files go in Microsoft Copilot

With Microsoft 365 Copilot, create a Notebook, add skill.md as a reference and the setup prompt as the custom instructions, then run the setup and approve the sample-data test. With consumer Copilot, upload skill.md at the start of each session instead.

What a run looks like on Microsoft Copilot

A run looks like this: you open the Notebook, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and Copilot works through candidate-sourcing against the referenced files. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - comes back for your review before anything is used.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Copilot Notebook and name it after the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
  2. Add skill.md as a reference and setup-prompt.txt as the custom instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs candidate-sourcing on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. Start each real run in the Notebook with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs. On consumer Copilot (no Notebooks), upload skill.md at the start of each session instead.

Honest limits on Microsoft Copilot

Notebooks need a work or school Microsoft 365 Copilot license. In consumer Copilot, treat each session as fresh: re-attach the files and re-paste the usage prompt.
