Candidate Nurture Agent — Keep Your Pipeline Warm
The Candidate Nurture Agent manages long-horizon candidate relationships — drafting recruiter-reviewed touchpoints that keep strong candidates warm across months and years, not just active searches.
Long-horizon relationships are the most valuable
The best candidates for your next executive or specialized search often aren't the ones who respond to a cold email. They're candidates you've known for two years — people you placed somewhere else, people who weren't ready to move when you last spoke, people who trusted you enough to stay connected even when there was no active opportunity.
Maintaining those relationships at scale requires consistent, relevant touchpoints over time. The Candidate Nurture Agent surfaces candidates whose relationship warrants a touchpoint, drafts a context-aware message based on their recent career activity, and puts it in your review queue. You approve, edit, and send — the relationship stays warm.
Candidate Nurture Agent capabilities
Relationship decay detection
Monitors your candidate graph for relationships that haven't had a touchpoint within the configured window — surfacing them for recruiter-directed re-engagement before they go cold.
Context-aware touchpoint drafting
Drafts messages anchored to recent candidate signals — a career milestone, a company announcement, an industry development — not generic 'staying in touch' notes.
Engagement calendar management
Maintains a touchpoint calendar for your top candidates, surfacing who needs attention each week and drafting appropriate messages.
Pipeline warmth scoring
Scores each candidate by relationship warmth — recency, response history, engagement depth — so you prioritize nurture investment on the highest-value relationships.
Nurture workflow
Relationship decay detected → context signal identified → touchpoint drafted → recruiter review → relationship maintained.

Nurture program outcomes
Questions, answered
How many candidates can the Nurture Agent manage simultaneously?
There is no technical limit. The agent surfaces a prioritized weekly queue based on relationship warmth scores and configured nurture cadences — typically 5–15 candidates per week for an active recruiter.
Does the Nurture Agent send messages without recruiter approval?
No. All messages require recruiter review and approval. Autonomous candidate communication is not supported — every touchpoint is human-in-the-loop.
