Candidate sourcing without the hours of tab-hopping - on Grok

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

What the Sourcing Agent does

If you work inside X or Grok's apps, this agent becomes a standing Skill there. 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 Grok

Attach the three files to a chat or build a Grok Skill/Bot with skill.md as the standing expertise, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Skills keep the rules persistent between asks.

What a run looks like on Grok

A run looks like this: you invoke the Skill with this run's inputs, and Grok works through candidate-sourcing. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - comes back for your review, and with Grok's Office document generation it can arrive as a formatted file.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Grok Skill (or custom Bot) and name it after the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
  2. Load skill.md as the standing expertise and setup-prompt.txt as the setup instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs candidate-sourcing on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. For each real run, ask with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs. Skills keep the rules persistent between asks.
