Talent scout ATS-exclude drafts

Official Talent Scout playbook: for a role description, find people who meet the must-haves, exclude ATS hits, show evidence per match, and draft outreach in your voice. Contact stays human-approved. Respect candidate privacy and regional recruiting rules.

The prompt

Prompt
Adapt this outline from the official Grok Bot use cases. Respect candidate privacy and regional recruiting rules.

For this role description, find potential candidates who meet the must-have criteria. Exclude anyone already in our ATS, explain the evidence for each match, and draft personalized outreach in my voice. Do not contact anyone.

Rules: respect privacy, regional requirements, and source terms; never invent employment history.

How it's set up

Official Talent Scout: https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/use-cases

Respect candidate privacy and regional recruiting rules.

  1. Connect ATS plus approved sourcing tools.
  2. Keep outreach drafts behind approval.
  3. Distinct from job-search-digest-list-apply-queue on this site (candidate-side hunt).

Why it works

Sourcing without ATS exclusion creates duplicate nightmares. Draft-only plus evidence-per-match is the adult hiring loop.
