AI sourcing tool for active sourcing Active sourcing.

How it works
Brief Search Reach out Stay in touch

Brief it in plain language.

Type the role the way you would say it, or import the job ad. No Boolean strings. Atlas turns it into must-haves and nice-to-haves and asks back when something is missing.

Every match checked against your requirements.

Atlas searches over a billion public profiles and your Talent Network, then scores each person against exactly your requirements. Mark matches Yes, Maybe or No, and the search learns from it.

Outreach from your own LinkedIn and inbox.

Pick a template and Atlas writes the message in their language. Connection request, message, InMail or email, sent in your name. Every step waits for your approval, or runs on autopilot if you choose. A reply stops the sequence.

Keep everyone you find.

Everyone you find and contact stays in your own Talent Network. People who connect to Atlas keep their profile current and can tell you when they are looking again. Next role, you start with people you already know.

2Why · Automation

Atlas does the legwork.
You keep the final say.

Finding people is one step. Atlas takes the next ones too, from your own LinkedIn and mailbox, in your name. Every step waits for your approval by default. Switch the ones you trust to autopilot.

  1. 1
    Search

    Atlas finds and checks the people for your role. You mark Yes, Maybe or No.

  2. 2
    Connection request

    From your own LinkedIn account, with a personal note of up to 250 characters.

  3. 3
    First message

    As soon as they accept. Written for this person, in their language.

  4. 4
    Follow-ups

    On the days you set, by LinkedIn, InMail or email. A reply stops the sequence for that person.

  5. 5
    Reply drafted

    Atlas drafts the answer toward the goal you set: interest, a meeting or the application.

  6. 6
    Screening

    When they apply, the Recruiter Agent checks the application against your requirements and can run the AI interview.

  7. 7
    Talent Network

    Not the right fit this time? When you reject someone, Atlas invites them to your Talent Network. Your admin can make that automatic.

Every step on approval or autopilot. A reply stops the sequence.
3Why · Your own Talent Network

Buy your reach once.

You should not have to rent your reach again for every role. Every good find goes into your own Talent Network once. It stays yours, and it stays current.

  • Outreach that lands You write to people you already know something about. That reads differently than a cold message.
  • The right moment Find people again, stay in touch, and come back when it fits them, not only when a vacancy opens.
  • You see when someone opens up Invited profiles stay current, and people connected to Atlas can share that they are actively looking again.

In the box

Everything sourcing needs.
In one tool.

A reason for every requirement

Each match is checked against your must-haves and nice-to-haves, with what Atlas found written next to it. You see at a glance what fits and what is still open.

Deep Context

For the hard roles: first find the companies, then the people who were there at the right time, like the team that took a fintech from Series A to B.

Unified inbox

One inbox.
One profile.

Connect your own LinkedIn and mailbox. Every message, sent or received, lands on the person's profile, next to applications, interviews and notes.

  • Both directions, synced as it happens
  • The last 30 days come in when you connect
  • A reply stops the sequence

It learns your taste

Mark matches Yes, Maybe or No. The next rounds bring more of what you liked.

AI messages

A personal message for every person

Start from your own templates. Atlas writes each message for the person, in their language, with what their profile already holds. You see who on your team wrote to them before. Nothing goes out without your approval, unless you switch on autopilot.

Questions, answered.

How is this AI sourcing tool different from LinkedIn Recruiter?

LinkedIn Recruiter searches LinkedIn's members and is licensed per seat. Atlas searches over a billion public profiles from across the web plus your own Talent Network, checks every match against your requirements with a reason for each, and writes from your own LinkedIn and mailbox.

Do we have to replace our ATS?

No. Atlas works next to the system you already run, and your Talent Network keeps the people between roles.

What does it cost?

Two ways to run it: self-service, where you search yourself, or managed, where our team runs the role and you only look at the shortlist. Managed is paid on results. Credits are one currency for everything, with no minimum term. The current rates are on the pricing page.

Does active sourcing with AI work without Boolean search strings?

Yes. You describe the person the way you would describe them to a colleague, requirements included. Atlas asks back when something is missing, searches, and then scores the best matches against what you wrote.

What happens when someone replies?

The sequence stops and Atlas suggests a reply. It goes out only with your approval, and the whole conversation stays on the person's profile.

How fast do we see candidates?

The search runs live: you watch the rounds, the number of profiles checked and the credits used against your budget, and the first matches show up while it runs.
