You create a sourcing campaign in a five-step wizard, and it saves as a draft — no candidates are sourced and no email is sent until you launch it after a dry-run.
Go to Sourcing → Campaigns and start a new campaign.
Define who gets contacted, then click Search to preview the real people you'll reach:
Nothing is searched until you click Search — then the panel shows the estimated reach and a live sample of matching people you can scroll and click into for detail. Aim for an audience of 10,000+ people: about half of emails enrich to a working address, and a desk reaches ~5,000 prospects a month, so a smaller pool won't keep it fed. You can't move to the next step until you've searched a valid audience.
Note: for candidate sourcing, locations outside the United States are blocked. Business development campaigns have their own list of six supported countries. See Sourcing compliance: geography and confidentiality.
The Qualifier is the short first chat every interested candidate gets: the universal PlacementFlow basics (location, right to work, notice, work setup, salary expectations, ideal next role) plus your own must-knows for this campaign. Here's the important part: if a must-know is flagged, the candidate stops there and waits for you on Today, under Qualified. Everyone who answers the Qualifier lands there, and you decide who continues: your agency is named, and the answers are filed, only when you approve.
The Screening is the deeper set of questions, drafted for your audience. They are asked right after the Qualifier when nothing is flagged, otherwise after you approve, and you review every answer. Whether replies are screened at all is the reply mode you pick in Basics: Ask screening questions (the default), Introduce me and ask for their resume, or No screening, I reply myself. Skipping screening doesn't block launch; the wizard just warns you.
You don't write the outreach emails. PlacementFlow sends a proven, compliant two-email sequence on your behalf — the same battle-tested message for every campaign, personalised with each candidate's name and your audience description. The review screen shows the exact emails read-only; the only thing to check is the audience phrase ("senior security engineers", "platform engineers", …), which is pre-filled from your job titles and editable in one small field.
Why you can't edit the emails: the wording is engineered for deliverability and compliance (no links, no salary claims, no brand names, a low-friction reply ask, and a "reply from your personal email" option for candidates who want discretion). One centrally-managed message means every send is legally clean and measurable.
Click Save & dry-run. The campaign is saved as a DRAFT and you're taken straight into the Dry Run to rehearse the candidate experience. Nothing external has happened.
