AI Sourcing

Created by Armaan Malik, Modified on Tue, 9 Dec, 2025 at 3:37 PM by Armaan Malik

AI Sourcing in ATZ CRM helps recruiters discover fresh candidate profiles from across the internet using a single, powerful search bar. Think of it as an advanced web-wide talent lookup that brings high-quality leads directly into your ATS — without needing third-party tools.


Whether you type a natural language query (e.g., “Senior backend developers in Bangalore with Java experience”) or use structured keywords, ATZ CRM scans public sources online and returns the best-matched candidate profiles that you can instantly add to your database.




Accessing AI Sourcing


You can open AI Sourcing from inside ATZ CRM:

  1. Go to the Candidates module.

  2. Click the AI Sourcing button at the top right.

  3. The sourcing interface will load with both AI Search and Keyword Search options.





How AI Sourcing Works


  • Each search will return at max 50 records per page. 

  • Profiles imported into your CRM are automatically enriched using publicly available data from the web.




AI Search (Natural Language Search)


In AI Search, you can type what you need in plain English — or use voice input.


Example queries:

  • “Sales managers in Dubai with SaaS experience”

  • “Frontend engineers who worked at Google”


ATZ CRM interprets the query and presents the closest-matching candidate leads it finds online.






Keyword Search (Structured Filters)


Prefer a structured search? Use filters such as:

  • Job title

  • Company name

  • Location 

  • Seniority





Credit Usage (ATZ CRM Model)


AI Sourcing uses search credits. 

  • 1 page = 1 credit

  • Viewing page 1 → consumes 1 credit

  • Going to page 2 → consumes another credit

  • Adding any profile in ATZ CRM consumes 1 credit ( includes verified Email of the person )


Credits reset every month. Credits do not roll over.





Adding Candidates from Search Results


To import a profile:

  1. Click Add Candidate.

  2. ATZ CRM creates a new record and enriches it automatically.


If the candidate already exists (matched by LinkedIn URL and Email):

  • Update → fill only missing fields


Once added, you can open the profile using View Candidate.





Bulk Actions


You can select multiple profiles on a page and import them all with one click.






Which Fields Get Enriched?


ATZ CRM enriches publicly available fields such as:

  • Work History

  • Email

  • City 

  • State 

  • Country

  • Skills

  • Current Position

  • Current Organization 

  • Experience 

  • Description

  • Location

  • LinkedIn profile URL





Tracking Source


Candidates added via the sourcing feature are automatically tagged with the source “AI Sourcing” inside ATZ CRM.






Purchasing Credits


Please connect with our Customer Success Team using chatbot on bottom right to purchase credits. 


Important Notes

  • Credits are shared across the entire account.

  • Credits are exhausted at month end and cannot be rolled over. 





Tips for Better AI Sourcing Results


To get the most accurate profiles:

  • Specify target companies (e.g., “Prefer candidates from Stripe OR Notion”).

  • Use clear job titles (e.g., “B2B SaaS Product Manager”).

  • Avoid random keywords or uncommon phrases.

  • English generally produces the most accurate search results.







FAQs


How many profiles can I see per search?
The number of results varies depending upon the Keywords. You will see at max 50 records per page. 


Can I mix AI Search and Keyword Search?
No — if AI input is used, keyword filters are ignored.


What happens if the profile already exists in my CRM?
The Candidate Profile will get updated. 


Do unused credits roll over?
No — they reset every month.


Does upgrading mid-month add credits?
No. It resets to the new plan’s limit.


Difference between AI Sourcing vs AI Matching?

  • AI Sourcing → finds new candidates

  • AI Matching → matches existing candidates to your jobs




That's it, I hope this helps! Happy recruiting :)
