Sound familiar?
  • “Sourcing is the longest part of the job, and it eats the day before you have made a single call.”
  • “Your AI assistant finds the jobs and the companies, then stops when it needs the actual people.”
  • “You pay for LinkedIn seats, a data tool and an enrichment tool, and still copy between tabs.”
  • “A tricky role sits for a week because nobody has the time to search it properly.”

What changes for your desk

Sourcing stops being the bottleneck. Every live role gets a scored shortlist the day it lands, your recruiters spend their hours on calls, and one connector replaces the data stack.

  • Shortlists the day the brief lands

    A new role becomes a scored list of people you can call before the client has finished their own notes. You submit first.

  • More live roles per recruiter

    Research stops being the bottleneck, so each desk carries more roles without hiring another researcher.

  • One connector instead of a stack

    People search, work history and contact data run through one account. No more seats you open twice a month.

  • Recruiter hours go to calls

    Searching, scoring and email hunting happen in the conversation. Your team spends its day talking to candidates and clients.

    hyreflow does

    hyreflow searches every people database it connects to, reads each candidate's dated work history, scores them against your must-haves with the evidence quoted, and finds a personal email or mobile only for the people who pass.

  3. Shortlist readyReviewRun end to end
    You decide

    You read a ranked shortlist with the reason behind every score, and choose who to call.

Three moves the playbook sets up

Each one is a play you run from the same conversation. The playbook gives you the prompt, the settings and what to do when a list misses.

01

Score on evidence, not job titles

Claude reads each person's dated work history against your must-haves and quotes what it found, so the ranking holds up in front of a client.

Contact details only for the keepers

The first prompt
Claude prompt

Use hyreflow and turn this job spec into a ranked shortlist of 10 candidates. Search the general market and, separately, the direct competitors I list below. Pull each person's real work history before you score them. Score everyone out of 100 against the must-haves, drop anyone who fails one, and quote the evidence. Then find a personal email for the people who made the list, never a work email. Tell me the cost before you spend anything.

Who it's for

  • Agency recruiters and sourcers working live roles
  • Owners of small desks who source themselves
  • In-house recruiters who want a second pair of eyes on a hard search

What you need

  • Claude (the desktop app or claude.ai). The free plan allows one custom connector, which is enough
  • A free hyreflow account. New workspaces start with 25 credits
  • One live job spec and about 20 minutes

This playbook, answered

Something else? Bring it to Open Office, the weekly open call.

Do I need accounts with LinkedIn, Apollo or other data tools?

No. The people databases and contact-data providers are built into hyreflow. You only need Claude and a hyreflow account.

What does a shortlist cost?

A few dollars of credits per shortlist, and you see the cost before anything is spent. Most of it is contact data, which is why the playbook looks it up last and only for the people who passed. The playbook breaks a real run down step by step.

Does hyreflow touch my LinkedIn account?

No. It never logs into LinkedIn. It searches its own data providers, so there is no account risk.

Will it find people who hide that they are open to work?

It finds people by their work history, not by a status they set. The playbook shows how to rank them by how likely they are to move.

Which Claude model should I use?

Opus. A small, fast model skips steps and returns weak lists.
