A kickoff call usually starts with guesses. How big is the pool. Who are we hiring against. Is this role even findable. The recruiter guesses, the hiring manager guesses, and everyone agrees to find out later. Later is usually three weeks of sourcing that proves the req was scoped wrong.

The SeekOut Talent Intelligence Agent answers all three before the call, from one input. You give it the job description. It reads the role, researches the company and the competitive landscape, asks a few sharp questions it cannot infer, and then goes to work in SeekOut. The demo above runs the whole thing end to end for a Senior Software Engineer role in post-production audio.

A brief, not a list

Most AI in recruiting returns candidates. This returns the thinking around them. What comes back is one interactive brief, branded to your company, that a recruiter can send to a hiring manager without rewriting it: the bottom line up top, the pool size, a real map of where that talent sits, the employers holding it, the sourcing pipelines, the candidates, and the outreach. The sourcing is already done by the time anyone reads it.

Live queries, not estimates

Every figure in the brief is a search result, run at the moment the brief was built, not a model’s impression of the market. The demo shows the queries returning on screen with their counts and their IDs, so any number in the brief can be traced back to the search that produced it.

Those queries run across public profiles and your own ATS together, so the people who already applied to you get a second look. The cheapest pipeline is the one you already paid for.

What is in the brief

• The bottom line, up top. The points a hiring manager can act on immediately, before anything else.
• How big the pool actually is. Not a range. The count, and the tighter count once the real must-haves are applied.
• Where that talent sits. A map of the market, so the relocation conversation either happens or stops happening.
• Who is holding it, and who is losing it. The employers with the people, and which of them are net exporters right now, which is where a displacement window opens.
• Sourcing pipelines, each one a real search. Not themes to go try. Verified SeekOut searches with counts attached and the question to put to the hiring manager for each one.
• Candidates, with the case and the caveat. Real work histories, screened against the must-haves, each with an honest flag on what to watch for. The agent tells you the reason someone might say no, before you spend a week finding out.
• Outreach, already drafted. Grounded in that person’s actual work, so it reads like a recruiter wrote it rather than a template.

Why it matters

• The kickoff call changes shape. You walk in with the market, not with questions about it, and the meeting becomes a decision rather than a discovery session.
• Evidence, not vibes. Every number traces to a query. The agent asks what it cannot infer instead of filling the gap with a guess.
• Honest flags. A shortlist that only tells you why someone fits is a sales document. This one tells you what to probe.
• The work is portable. The brief is branded to your company and built to be forwarded, so the output of the agent is the artifact the team actually uses.
• Depth is one click away. A live SeekOut workspace comes with it, with the searches, the candidates and their contact details already loaded, whenever you want to go deeper. Opening it is optional.
