Passive candidate sourcing that earns the reply
Passive candidates are not looking, so a generic note gets ignored. Passive candidate sourcing has to be personal and respectful to work. HireAgent sources passive talent, ranks each by fit, and drafts an opener tied to their actual background, so the first message gives them a real reason to respond.
Every candidate card carries an evidence-backed match score, a why-they-fit rationale and a pipeline status pill. Outreach discloses it is AI and respects opt-outs, the agent schedules anyone who is interested, and you make the final call, so you engage passive talent at scale without burning goodwill.
