Recruiters, agency owners and anyone who searches a CRM most days

Why it matters
13–30

Estimates of how many hours a week recruiters lose to sourcing range from 13 to 30. At the top of that range it is most of a working week: a whole person, spent searching.

Range quoted by Rosie Hilton in this session. Published estimates vary widely by source.
What you’ll walk away with

What AI search actually changed, and what it did not.

A map of the four questions that tell you what any AI search tool really does, plus an honest read on its limits. Recorded live, and deliberately about the category rather than about Atlas.

01HOW YOU ASK

Plain English, not Boolean

Describe the person the way you would to a colleague. Paste in a whole job description. Say "find me someone like this one". Increasingly, just say it out loud.

02HOW IT UNDERSTANDS

Meaning, not matching letters

Why "lead dev", "engineering manager" and "senior software engineer" now point at the same person, and how AI reads the notes nobody ever tagged.

03WHERE IT LOOKS

Your own database first

The years of screening you already paid for are the cheapest win on the table. Then silver medalists, then the open web. Most desks reach for the expensive option first.

04HOW AUTONOMOUS

Assistant, copilot or agent

The spectrum from making suggestions to running the whole thing, and why plenty of vendors sell a copilot with the word agent on the box.

The worked examples. The frameworks and checklists from the session, ready to apply to your own desk.

The numbers. The measurements we cover, with how to pull them from whatever system you run.

A follow-up you can ignore. One email afterwards. No sequence, no calls unless you ask.

Who this is for

For recruiters who suspect the person they need is already in the system.

You’ll get huge value if you…

Run or work a desk and search your CRM most days

Have a database built over years that you no longer fully trust

Keep paying for job boards and licences to find people you may already have

Are being sold AI sourcing and want to judge it properly

×

Probably not for you if…

×

You want a product demo: this session is about the category, not about Atlas

×

You want a general introduction to AI rather than a recruitment-specific one

×

You want to be told AI will replace recruiters. Rosie argues the opposite
