- Use AI-enabled tools to accelerate sourcing (market mapping, profile research, personalization) and generate high-quality first drafts of outreach - then apply judgment to keep it human and on-brand
- Build and maintain nurture campaigns for repeat roles and “silver medalist” candidates (lightweight sequences, periodic touchpoints, and talent community messaging)
