Two hours later you have nine rows, no evidence column, and a hiring manager asking where the shortlist is. ## The ask > Hello, find me 10 product designers ## What comes back A Google Sheet lands in the `Recruiter Sourcing Workspace` folder in your Google Drive: Name, LinkedIn and Evidence. | Name | LinkedIn | Evidence | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Sample candidate A | `linkedin.com/in/sample-product-designer-a` | Product systems work at two B2B SaaS teams; source checked | | Sample candidate B | `linkedin.com/in/sample-product-designer-b` | Mobile design portfolio and relevant role history; source checked | *Sample data shown. Your workspace fills with your real work.* ## What it takes over 1. Reads the exact inputs and sources you approve. 2. Saves the work as a review-ready Google Sheet in the Recruiter Sourcing Workspace folder in Google Drive. 3. Shows evidence, unknowns and blocks instead of guessing. 4. Prepares the next action and stops at the human gate. ## How buying works 1. Buy once for $19. Three files arrive: `skill.md`, `setup-prompt.txt` and `usage-prompt.txt`. 2. Hand the files to the assistant you already use. It sets the job up on Google, Microsoft or Zoho and tests it on fictional data. 3. Approve the setup. It runs the job and stops at every external action for your sign-off. ## Where it stops It does not send, spend, publish, schedule or make a human decision without the exact approval that action needs. ## Common questions ### What do I actually receive? A Google Sheet in a Recruiter Sourcing Workspace folder in your Drive: candidate name, LinkedIn URL and the evidence for why they fit, with the source checked. Rows are for your review; nothing gets sent. ### Does it contact candidates? No. It builds the review queue and stops. If you want outreach, the Outreach Agent picks up from this exact sheet. ### What does it work with? Google Forms + Sheets, Microsoft Forms + Excel for the web, or Zoho Forms + Zoho Sheet. Setup runs on fictional test data before it touches real work. ## More for recruiters [Recruiters](/agents-for/recruiters/resume-screening/) ### AI resume screening for recruiters It screens applicants against your approved scorecard and returns one evidence card per candidate: criterion, ... **$19 →** [Recruiters](/agents-for/recruiters/candidate-follow-up/) ### Automate candidate follow-up emails It finds every candidate follow-up due today, drafts each email with the context of the last touch, sends the ... **$19 →** [Recruiters](/agents-for/recruiters/candidate-pipeline/) ### AI recruiting pipeline tracking It applies your approved changes to the pipeline sheet with conflict-safe, auditable updates: current stage, p... **$19 →** Prefer the store pages?
