AI Sourcing Agent
Your always-on AI recruiter that sources, qualifies, and engages candidates for you.
Deploy an autonomous AI sourcing agent that finds, ranks, and engages top candidates from 870M+ profiles. Built-in AI combined with open API and MCP support for Claude, ChatGPT, and more.
Describe the role, your agent handles the rest
Stop writing boolean strings. Tell your AI agent what you need in plain language and it understands the full context of the role, not just keywords. It searches your own database and 870M+ profiles from 30+ sources simultaneously to build a qualified shortlist in minutes.
- Contextual understanding: The agent interprets job context, seniority signals, and team fit, not just keyword matches.
- Multi-source search: Simultaneous search across your internal database and 30+ professional networks.
One platform, every source, zero tab-switching
Most recruiting stacks are fragmented: one tool to source, another to email, a third to track. Leonar's agent operates inside a unified platform where sourcing, outreach, and CRM live in the same workflow. It leverages your entire candidate history to personalize every interaction.
- Unified workflow: Sourcing, outreach sequences, and CRM pipeline in a single platform, no context switching.
- Historical intelligence: The agent uses past applications, interactions, and notes to personalize outreach and avoid duplicates.
Built-in intelligence, open to your favorite AI
Leonar ships with its own AI for matching, scoring, and outreach generation. But if your team already uses Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI, you can connect it directly to Leonar via API or MCP. Use our intelligence as a foundation and extend it with the tools you already trust.
- Native AI engine: Built-in AI handles matching, candidate scoring, and outreach message generation out of the box.
- Open API & MCP: Connect your preferred AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT) via API or MCP protocol for full control and customization.

AI Talent Sourcing Workspace
Stop fishing in the same pond as everyone else. Unlock a global database of 870M+ profiles across multiple sources, not just LinkedIn. AI-filtered, contact-verified, and ready to engage.

Learn moreCandidate Relationship Management
Candidate relationship management is the practice of nurturing your candidate pool between roles, not just during them. Leonar gives recruiters a purpose-built workspace to track every candidate touchpoint over years: previous applicants, sourced profiles, silver medalists, and warm leads. Every interaction across email, LinkedIn, and phone is captured in a unified timeline, and the talent database becomes a proprietary asset that compounds with every placement. For the broader recruiting CRM that also covers client deals and mandate execution, see our recruiting CRM pillar.
Learn moreAdvanced Filtering & Scoring
Unlock advanced filters and scoring capabilities to find the most relevant leads much faster than in LinkedIn. AI-powered ranking surfaces the best fits instantly. Most recruiters spend over half their sourcing time manually reviewing profiles that turn out to be poor fits. Leonar flips this equation by letting AI score every candidate against your specific requirements, so you always start conversations with the highest-potential profiles first. With 50+ filter dimensions, Boolean search, and semantic AI understanding, you can build precise candidate shortlists in minutes instead of hours.
Learn moreUnified Inbox
Centralize every conversation from Email, LinkedIn, and SMS into a single, shared inbox to speed up responsiveness and collaboration. Recruiters spend an average of 13 hours per week switching between messaging platforms, losing context and missing critical candidate replies. Leonar's unified inbox brings LinkedIn messages, emails, WhatsApp, and SMS into one streamlined view. Every message is linked to the corresponding candidate profile, so you always have full context before replying. You can even record and send LinkedIn voice notes from your desktop, no phone needed, and the voice notes candidates send you play inline right in the thread.
Learn morePipeline Analytics
Want to optimize your recruiting and sales strategies? With Leonar Analytics, analyze your funnel, and measure conversion rates across every stage. Most recruiting teams operate without data visibility, relying on gut feeling to make hiring decisions. Leonar changes this by tracking every metric that matters: time-to-hire, cost-per-hire, source effectiveness, team productivity, and conversion rates at each pipeline stage. Real-time dashboards replace end-of-month spreadsheet exercises, giving you the insights to optimize your process continuously.
Learn moreATS & Resume Parsing
Turn your candidate database into a proprietary goldmine. Parse resumes instantly, manage talent pools, and track every placement in one unified view. 93% of recruiting professionals report improved hiring outcomes after adopting an ATS, and for agencies in particular, a well-structured candidate database is the difference between starting every search from scratch and having a competitive advantage. Leonar's ATS is designed specifically for recruiting agencies, headhunters, and executive search firms, with resume parsing, talent pool management, job tracking, and client relationship features all built into one platform.

What does the Leonar AI sourcing agent actually do?
The Leonar AI assistant reviews available sourcing records against your role brief, explains fit and prepares a shortlist for recruiter approval. Records selected from LinkedIn remain user-led, while supported Email, WhatsApp and SMS workflows can follow their own settings.
Do I have to write Boolean search strings?
No. You describe what you need in natural language and the assistant uses the full role context, including seniority signals and team fit, to help review available records. You decide which profiles belong in the shortlist.
Can I connect my own AI like Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. Leonar ships with its own built-in AI for matching, scoring and outreach generation, but you can also connect Claude, ChatGPT or another agent via open API or the MCP protocol. This lets you extend Leonar with the AI tools your team already trusts.
Does the agent work across sourcing, outreach and CRM?
Yes. The assistant works inside one platform where sourcing review, outreach preparation and the CRM pipeline live together. It uses past applications, interactions and notes to personalize drafts, suggest follow-ups and help avoid duplicate work.
