Start narrow. Widen only when you have to.
Most sourcing tools fire off one broad search and hand you a thousand names, of which maybe six are worth opening. This one starts as tight as it can, then loosens a single thing at a time, and stops the moment it has enough.

How the search widens
Each pass gives up exactly one thing, and it stops as soon as it has what you asked for.
The first pass is deliberately too narrow
It searches on the role, the exact job titles, the seniority, the location and whatever else you picked out for this particular search. Often it comes back with very little, and that's the point. When it comes back with the right people, nothing else needs to run.
Then it stops insisting on the exact job title
Long, exact titles are the thing most likely to match nobody at all, so they're tried once and then let go.
Then location and seniority open up
It widens to the whole country and stops filtering on seniority, because past the first pass those two narrow the field more than they sharpen it.
Technical roles get a second kind of search
For roles where people publish their work in the open, there's a separate search that goes looking for it. It only runs where it could actually help, and anyone found that way gets the rest of their professional profile filled in.
A shorter list you can actually work
A thousand names isn't a result.
Nobody works through a list that long, so we'd rather hand you a short one worth opening than a big one you'll ignore.
These are public professional profiles.
The kind anyone can look up. We only go and find contact details for the candidates you actually pick out.
Your list is yours.
What you find and who you approach stays with your team. We don't share it with anyone else using the product.
Someone you sourced is just a candidate
- Someone you sourced runs through the same screening and scoring as someone who applied, so you end up with one ranked list against one rubric.
- The same person found in two places is recognised as one person, not sourced twice.
