Sourcing

Under Source Candidates in the sidebar you’ll see three ways to work: Interviewed Candidates (people already in your workspace), Inbound via Phone (AI Receptionist: inbound calls and screening), and Sourcing Engine (ATS) (Sally: autonomous sourcing configs for your agents). You can also let candidates apply by email using a per-agent address under Integrations.

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.

Inbound via Phone

The AI Receptionist is an inbound phone experience for candidates who call your number first. It is configurable: you can use it for simple information and routing, structured screening, or a full qualify → match → next step flow when your workspace is connected to your ATS. The same building blocks support different staffing and hiring workflows—not a single fixed script.

Common use cases

Use this checklist to show flexibility (pick what applies per customer):
  • After-hours and overflow — Answer calls when the team is away; capture intent and basic details instead of losing the lead.
  • IVR or main-line handoff — Your telephony (e.g. “press 1 for jobs”) forwards to the HeyMilo receptionist number you provision; callers only reach the AI on that path.
  • FAQ / directions — Point people to where to apply, what to expect, or next steps with company policies and edge cases spelled out in context (e.g. wrong job family, already applied).
  • Qualify before human time — Yes/no or dealbreaker questions (authorization to work, lift requirements, start date, etc.) with optional manual review before anyone is routed forward.
  • Match and progress — When ATS integration is in place, the flow can look up the candidate, surface open roles, and invite them to the right interview agent; behavior is driven by your settings and instructions—not one-size-fits-all.

Phone number (important)

The receptionist uses a dedicated inbound number. Do not reuse that number for an SMS screening agent—keeping lines separate avoids mixed threads and confusing context for automation.

Setup at a glance

  1. Create a receptionist in the product (Inbound via Phone / Source Candidates).
  2. Choose voice, language (e.g. English-only or bilingual where supported), and disclosures your team requires (AI nature, recording, eligibility checks as applicable).
  3. Add company policies, general instructions (tone and rules), and optional screening questions (recommended for qualify-and-route flows; optional for lightweight FAQ-style flows).
  4. Configure routing: e.g. automatic when the caller meets a score threshold, or manual approval so your team reviews before the next step.
  5. Give the customer the HeyMilo receptionist number to forward or dial from their IVR—they wire their telephony; you provide the destination number.

After the call

Recorded calls and evaluations appear in the candidate pipeline for that receptionist. Depending on configuration, callers may receive SMS to confirm captured details before a record is finalized—reducing typos and duplicate data entry.
If someone already exists in the ATS, the system can avoid duplicate outreach; use instructions / edge-case context to tell the agent what to say (e.g. “already applied—expect a reply in X days”).

Integrations

Deeper automation (job lookup, invite to agents, duplicate detection) depends on ATS connection and workspace settings.

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.
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)IntegrationsApply EmailConfigure.
  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.
