# Sourcing brief format

A reusable skill the "Draft a calibrated JD and sourcing brief" recipe pulls in. Add it once and every agent on the team can use it.

Turn the calibrated JD into target profiles, channels, and search strings for a sourcer.

## Method
1. Read the finished JD and the past-hire calibration note for this role.
2. Draft 2-3 target profile archetypes: company type, title, and years of relevant experience.
3. List the channels most likely to surface each archetype, such as LinkedIn, niche boards, or the referral pool.
4. Write a starter Boolean search string per archetype, using the JD's must-haves as keywords.
5. Note any deliberate exclusion, such as a competitor to avoid poaching from, if the hiring manager flagged one.
6. Package the brief as one page, mapped one section per archetype.
7. Attach the brief to the JD for the same sign-off pass.

## Rules
- Ground every archetype in the past-hire calibration note, not a generic persona.
- Keep the brief to one page — a sourcer should not need to read past it to start.
- Never send the brief to a sourcer before the hiring manager signs off in {{delivery_channel}}.
- Update the Boolean strings if the JD changes after sign-off.

## Output
A one-page sourcing brief: 2-3 target archetypes, their channels, and a starter Boolean string per archetype.
