What the Sourcing Agent does

If your team's files live in Google Workspace, Gemini is the shortest path for this agent. 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 Gemini

Create a Gem whose instructions are the skill.md contents plus the setup prompt, then run the setup. Gems keep their instructions between sessions, so the agent's rules persist. For Sheets work, Gemini's Workspace integration makes it the natural home for these agents.

What a run looks like on Gemini

A run looks like this: you open the Gem, give it this run's inputs from the usage prompt, and Gemini works through candidate-sourcing. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - can move straight into Sheets and Docs through the Workspace integration. You approve, adjust or discard first.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Gem in Gemini and name it after the job (for example: candidate sourcing).
  2. Make the Gem's instructions the contents of skill.md plus setup-prompt.txt.
  3. Run the setup conversation; the agent runs candidate-sourcing on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. Start each real run with that Gem and paste usage-prompt.txt with this run's inputs. Gems keep instructions between sessions, and Gemini's Workspace integration sits close to your Sheets and Docs.

Honest limits on Gemini

Gems are created and edited on the web, and some Workspace features depend on your plan. As with any assistant, approve the sample-data run before real data.
