Sourcing without the forty open tabs.
Scout is the AI hiring agent we built for our own recruiters. Pick an open role and it searches LinkedIn, scores everyone against the JD with the profile lines to back it up, and reaches out from your own LinkedIn and Gmail. Replies land in one inbox with answers drafted. Who's worth a call is still your decision.

From an open role to a first conversation.
Scout does the searching, reading, scoring and chasing. Your recruiters spend their day on the people worth talking to.
Brief
Pick the opening. Scout reads the JD and drafts who to look for, where, and how to score them.
Search
Runs the LinkedIn search in the background, or scores a list you already have.
Score
Rates every profile out of 100, criterion by criterion, with the evidence.
Decide
You approve or reject in one click. Each call tunes the next search.
Reach out
A connection request, LinkedIn messages and Gmail, as one sequence.
Reply
Replies land in one inbox. Scout drafts the answer, or sends it when it's sure.
What a week with Scout looks like.
Tell it what the JD doesn't say.
Pick the opening and click Generate. Scout drafts the cities, companies to target, must-haves and red flags from the JD, and shows what the search will cost before it runs. Then edit it in plain English.
See why each person made the list.
Everyone is scored against the role's criteria, and every point links to the line in their profile that earned it. People land in Shortlist, Maybe, Below the line or Filtered out, with the reason.
Outreach that sounds like a person wrote it.
Build the sequence once: a connection request with a note Scout writes from their profile, LinkedIn messages after they accept, then emails from your Gmail. Preview every step for a real candidate before it goes out.
Every reply in one inbox, answer ready.
LinkedIn and email replies land in one place. Scout saves any phone number, email or resume people send, answers the questions it knows, and drafts the rest for you.
Illustrative examples. Companies and people shown are fictional.
It learns what good looks like for each role.
Every approve and reject tells Scout something. After about ten decisions, ask it for suggestions. It shows what it would change in the search and the scoring, and why. Nothing changes until you apply it.

Questions about AI hiring agents
What is an AI hiring agent?
An AI hiring agent does the repetitive parts of recruiting: it finds people who fit a role, reads and scores their profiles, reaches out, and handles the replies. Scout does all of this from a job description, while your recruiters make every judgement call.
Can AI source candidates from LinkedIn?
Yes. Scout reads your JD, sets up LinkedIn searches, reads each profile it finds and scores it out of 100 against what the role needs. Every point links to the lines in the profile behind it, so you can check the reasoning.
How does Scout score candidates?
Scout drafts the criteria and their weights from the JD and your notes, and you can edit both. Each person is scored criterion by criterion, then placed in Shortlist, Maybe, Below the line or Filtered out, with the reason shown. Add a few people you would hire tomorrow, and Scout checks that they land near the top before you search.
Can Scout score candidates I already have?
Yes. Upload a Sales Navigator export or any CSV with LinkedIn links. Scout skips the search but still checks, scores and explains everyone on the list.
Is it safe to run LinkedIn outreach with Scout?
Scout sends from your own LinkedIn account and tracks each account's daily and weekly limits for connection requests and messages. Sends go out at irregular gaps, unanswered requests are withdrawn after the number of days you set, and new or long-unused accounts can ease in over four weeks.
Does Scout send messages without my approval?
Outreach only goes to people you approve. For replies, you choose per role: Scout drafts and you send, or Scout sends when it is confident. On a weekly schedule, you choose whether it reaches out to the top people or lines them up for your review. Every search shows its cost before it runs.
Does Scout work with my ATS?
Scout works with Keka today: it shows whether someone is already in Keka and pushes candidates across in one click. Tell us which ATS you use when you sign up for the beta.
Can I use Scout from Claude?
Yes. Add Scout as a connector in Claude and ask things like "Who is on the shortlist?" or "Draft replies to today's messages". Before it runs a search, messages a candidate or writes to your ATS, Claude shows what it will do and waits for your yes.
Is Scout free?
Scout is free during the beta. Sign up with the form and we'll get you set up.
