# Sourcing

## Which should I use?

| I want to…                                                | Use this                            |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Re-engage or invite **people already in HeyMilo**         | **Interviewed Candidates**          |
| Run **Sally** sourcing with quotas, tiers, and rules      | **Sourcing Engine (ATS)**           |
| Let candidates **email** an address to enter the pipeline | **Apply via Email** (on each agent) |

## Interviewed Candidates

**Why it matters:** Everyone in this directory is **already in your HeyMilo workspace** — past applicants, sourced profiles, or anyone who entered through another flow. You’re not starting cold; you’re **searching, filtering, enriching, importing**, and **inviting** people you already have a record for.

**What you do:**

1. Open **Source Candidates → Interviewed Candidates**.
2. **Search** and **filter** (e.g. name, email, dates — whatever your workspace exposes).
3. **Sort** and customize columns if the product offers it.
4. Open a **profile**, then use **Actions** to **invite to an agent**, move to pipeline, or continue in your usual workflow.

Invited candidates follow the same path as other applicants: outreach (SMS, email, or link — per your settings) and results on your main dashboard when they finish.

**When to use it first:** Before you spend on net-new sourcing, check **Interviewed Candidates** for strong fits you’ve already evaluated.

## Sourcing Engine (ATS)

**Why it matters:** **Sally** runs **autonomous sourcing** for your agents — you define **configs** with **quota**, **tiers** (e.g. which sources apply: external pools, HeyMilo, ATS, etc.), **mode** (such as threshold vs manual), **match threshold**, and **time limits**, so sourcing isn’t only one-off manual searches.

  </Frame>
</Frame>

**What you do:**

1. Open **Source Candidates → Sourcing Engine (ATS)**.
2. Use **+ Create Config** (or equivalent) to add or edit a **Sourcing Engine (ATS)** configuration (Sally).
3. Tune quota, tiers, mode, and limits to match how aggressively you want to source and spend.

If you **don’t see Sourcing Engine (ATS)**, your workspace or plan may not include it yet.

**When to use it:** You want **repeatable, capped** sourcing rules instead of ad hoc searches only.

## Apply via Email

**Why it matters:** Candidates can **apply without a form** by sending mail to a **unique address** you publish on postings, flyers, or campaigns — low friction on mobile and easy to drop into job board copy.

**What you do:**

1. Open the **agent (interviewer)** → **Integrations** → **Apply Email** → **Configure**.
2. Copy the **generated email** for that agent and share it where you recruit.

**Limits (be explicit with candidates if needed):** This path is for **capturing contact / pipeline entry** — it does **not** replace a full resume parser for attachments. For heavy document workflows, use your **candidate ingestion** options elsewhere in the product.

**When to use it:** High-volume apply paths, events, or alongside a **custom sender domain** so mail looks like your brand.
