Jobs and sourcing

Source candidates

Finlay can turn a clear job brief into a candidate search, then follow the outreach workflow you choose.

Finlay can source candidates for the role you describe and bring them into that job’s pipeline. Use it to turn a clear brief into a shortlist before deciding whether Finlay or your team should contact people.

Create a job with the title, role description and practical details that define the search, such as seniority, location, work arrangement and employment type. Separate must-have skills from nice-to-have skills so the requirements reflect which trade-offs you can make.

Add screening questions for information that a profile cannot answer. These questions can help guide an AI pre-screen later; they do not replace a clear role description. See Create a job.

Sourcing and outreach are separate choices. Before publishing, choose whether Finlay runs outreach and AI pre-screening, or whether you review people and contact them yourself. See Choose your automation level.

Candidates remain in the job’s pipeline for review. What happens after they are sourced depends on the automation setting: Finlay can move into automated outreach, or you can select people and approve drafts yourself. See Automated outreach and Reach out to candidates yourself.

On Free, Finlay sources up to 10 unique candidates for the company over the account’s lifetime. Free does not automatically shortlist, contact, screen or advance candidates. See Plans and limits.
