What Your Candidate Sourcing VA Handles Daily

From crafting airtight Boolean strings and mapping passive competitors to scrubbing contact emails and staging ATS profiles, we eliminate your sourcing bottleneck.

Boolean & X-Ray Talent Discovery

  • Construct complex search strings (AND, OR, NOT, site:linkedin.com/in, filetype:pdf) to uncover unindexed passive candidates.
  • Surface talent across GitHub, Stack Overflow, Behance, and conference speaker rosters beyond common LinkedIn limits.
  • Execute keyword variants for obscure job titles, certifications (PMP, AWS, CISSP), and niche technical libraries.

Market Mapping & Competitor Intel

  • Map organizational charts and key functional teams at target tier-one competitors and direct industry peers.
  • Track candidate tenures, recent layoffs, and restructuring events to target talent open to confidential outreach.
  • Assemble benchmark talent pools by geography, salary banding, years of experience, and remote compatibility.

Data Enrichment & Email Verification

  • Extract direct verified personal email addresses and direct dials using tools like ContactOut, SalesQL, and Apollo.
  • Run email addresses through NeverBounce or ZeroBounce to eliminate spam traps and maintain <2% bounce rates.
  • Clean and format candidate CSV imports with consistent capitalization, phone formatting, and LinkedIn profile URLs.

Outreach Staging & InMail Sequences

  • Draft personalized, non-spammy cold outreach messages referencing the candidate's actual projects, patents, or blog posts.
  • Schedule multi-touch cadences across LinkedIn InMail and follow-up emails through Gem, hireEZ, or HubSpot.
  • Triage candidate replies: route interested replies straight to your recruiters' Calendly for instant booking.

ATS Entry, Deduplication & Tagging

  • Create candidate profile cards in Greenhouse, Lever, or Bullhorn, attaching resumes, portfolios, and notes.
  • Run deduplication audits to verify candidates aren't already actively owned by other internal recruiters.
  • Tag profiles with standard skills, locations, compensation ranges, and future talent community buckets.

Real feedback from executive recruiters, staffing agency founders, and internal TA leaders scaling candidate pipelines with SageDoer.

"Building Boolean strings for niche Golang and Kubernetes engineers used to eat 4 hours of my day. Our SageDoer VA uncovers 25 qualified profiles every morning with personal emails verified via NeverBounce. Total game changer."

Lauren R.

Head of Talent Acquisition, FinScale Group

"Having a dedicated Project Manager supervise our VA without charging extra fees is incredible. When we won an executive search mandate for 12 VP of Sales roles, our PM calibrated the rubric and had 80 mapped profiles in 48 hours."

Real Answers

Frequently Answered Queries

Real questions from talent acquisition leaders, headhunters, and staffing agency owners.

How do your sourcers ensure candidate qualification and avoid irrelevant profiles?

Prior to running outreach, our sourcers conduct a thorough role calibration with your team. We define non-negotiables (must-have technical tools, minimum years of domain tenure, target companies, and deal-breakers like lack of sponsorship). We submit an initial sample batch of 10-15 profiles for calibration review to ensure 100% alignment with your hiring managers before full pipeline execution begins.

Can the VA source niche technical candidates (software engineers, AI, data science)?

Yes. Our specialized technical sourcers understand programming language ecosystems (e.g., distinguishing Java from JavaScript, knowing the difference between React and React Native, identifying Go/Rust/Kubernetes experience). They look beyond surface-level keywords to evaluate actual GitHub repositories, open-source commits, Kaggle rankings, and technical patents.

How does quality control work with the dedicated Project Manager?

Every SageDoer partner is paired with a dedicated Project Manager at zero extra cost. Your PM conducts daily spot audits on sourced candidate profiles, verifies contact email deliverability rates, monitors weekly requisition velocity, and coordinates shifts. You communicate directly with your PM, eliminating the hassle of supervising and troubleshooting tasks.

How do you protect candidate data and comply with GDPR/CCPA regulations?

Data security is strictly enforced through custom Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Our virtual assistants operate strictly inside your designated workspace, utilizing your company's ATS seats or protected Google Drive environments. Candidate personal contact details are stored securely and never retained, exported, or reused across third-party accounts.

How are working hours recorded, verified, and billed?

We utilize centralized time tracking to log precise seconds worked on your talent requisitions. You receive transparent weekly timesheets detailing exact task breakdowns (e.g., 10 hours Boolean sourcing on LinkedIn Recruiter, 4 hours email enrichment and verification, 6 hours staging candidate profiles in Greenhouse). You pay strictly for pure working hours—Project Manager supervision is 100% free.
