What the Sourcing Agent does

If research already happens in Perplexity, this agent turns it into the finished artifact. 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 Perplexity

Create a Space for the job, upload the three files, and paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions. Run the setup, approve the sample-data test, and start each run in that Space. Save the agent's output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).

What a run looks like on Perplexity

A run looks like this: you open the Space, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and Perplexity works through candidate-sourcing with cited sources where the job needs them. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - is drafted for your review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Space in Perplexity and name it after the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
  2. Upload skill.md to the Space and paste setup-prompt.txt into the Space 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 that Space with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; save the output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).
