Hard-to-fill roles need more than a quick AI search.
The most challenging roles have a long list of must-haves. The right location. The right skills. The right seniority level. Sourcing candidates who fit them all is hard.
AI finds people who look close.
AI recruiting platforms and general AI assistants source candidates who look close, but manual review often shows incorrect or missing data about them.
Not all candidate evidence lies on the surface.
Trusting a single search source like LinkedIn to deliver up-to-date information about a candidate is not enough. It does not give you the full picture. Getting all the actual intelligence about a person takes time.
A bigger list creates more work.
Most AI tools for recruiting today simply give you more profiles, not a carefully verified candidate longlist. You still spend hours checking LinkedIn and the open web to see if that information matches reality, and removing weak fits by hand.
Obvious searches find obvious candidates.
AI recruiting tools use general search queries and never build their search strategy intelligently. They can miss nearby roles, related fields, and places where strong candidates actually show their work. You have to think of each new search angle and experiment with it manually.
Sengi turns Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant you already use into a sourcing tool for recruiters, built for the hardest roles.
Sengi gives your AI assistant the search tools and steps it needs to source candidates for positions with multiple hard must-haves. It finds the best search angles, uses multiple sources, verifies evidence about each candidate, and builds a longlist that immediately shows you who is the best fit.

Step 1
Add the role
Share the brief in any format. Sengi pulls out all the details and calibrates the role requirements with you if they are vague.
Step 2
Collect all possible evidence
It searches 30+ people-data providers and the open web: LinkedIn, GitHub, company sites, talks and more.
Step 3
Try new ways
Too few people fit? Sengi autonomously finds new search angles in nearby fields to catch as many relevant candidates as possible.
Step 4
Get the verified longlist
Each candidate profile in the longlist is verified according to must-have and optional criteria from the brief. You instantly see who fits exactly and who has a weaker fit and why.
Sengi connects through MCP to any AI assistant, like Claude Cowork or ChatGPT Work.

What recruiters ask about AI sourcing
What is Sengi?
Sengi is an AI sourcing tool for hard-to-fill roles. It works inside Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant you already use. You share the brief and get a longlist of candidates, each checked against your must-haves.
Can I source candidates in ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. On their own, they search the web a little differently every time, so the same brief gives you different people. With Sengi added, your assistant searches 30+ people-data providers and the open web the same way each time and checks every must-have.
How is Sengi different from other AI sourcing tools?
Most AI sourcing tools give you more profiles to review. Sengi gives you fewer people, with the proof behind every must-have, so you see who fits and why. And it works in the assistant you already use, not in another dashboard.
Does Sengi replace my ATS or CRM?
No. Sengi is a sourcing tool for recruiting teams with hard-to-fill roles. It finds and checks candidates, and you take the longlist into your own ATS, CRM and process.
What are the best AI sourcing tools for recruiters?
It depends on the role. For high-volume roles, database tools like hireEZ, SeekOut or Juicebox search large profile pools fast. For hard-to-fill roles with strict must-haves, you need a tool that checks each must-have with proof. That is what Sengi does, inside Claude or ChatGPT.
What does "verified" mean?
Every candidate is checked against the must-haves in your brief, and each must-have shows the public proof found for it. It is not a background check.
