What the Sourcing Agent does
If your week already starts in ChatGPT, this agent drops straight into that habit. Hand it an approved role and a sourcing target. You get back a review queue of candidate LinkedIn URLs, each with job-relevant evidence and a source trace, saved as a Google Sheet in your own Drive.
Sourcing means opening tabs, running the same LinkedIn searches, copying profile URLs into a sheet and trying to remember why each person looked right. Two hours later you have nine rows, no evidence column, and a hiring manager asking where the shortlist is.
Where the three files go in ChatGPT
Create a Project for the job, upload skill.md as a Project file and paste the setup prompt into the Project instructions. Run the setup once, approve the sample-data test, then start each run inside that Project so the rules stay loaded.
What a run looks like on ChatGPT
A run looks like this: you open the Project, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and ChatGPT works through candidate-sourcing with the skill rules loaded. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - comes back as a draft you approve, adjust or discard; nothing is final until you say so.
Setup, step by step
- Create a Project in ChatGPT and name it after the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
- Upload
skill.mdas a Project file and pastesetup-prompt.txtinto the Project instructions. - Start the setup conversation inside the Project; the agent runs
candidate-sourcingon fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work. - For each real run, open the same Project and paste
usage-prompt.txtwith this run's inputs. The rules stay loaded because they live in the Project.
Honest limits on ChatGPT
Projects and file uploads depend on your ChatGPT plan; check OpenAI's help center for current limits. Outside a Project, chat context resets and you re-paste the rules.
