What it does

Sourcing Strategy is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a talent sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill role. Use when asked to create a sourcing strategy, a candidate sourcing plan, a channel plan for hiring, or to figure out where to find candidates for a role. Produces a strategy — the ideal-candidate profile and where they are, prioritised sourcing channels, outreach approach, a pipeline target with funnel math, and a weekly plan — so sourcing is deliberate, not just posting and praying.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to create a sourcing strategy
  • A candidate sourcing plan
  • A channel plan for hiring
  • Figure out where to find candidates for a role

Example prompts

  • “/sourcing-strategy”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Sourcing Strategy loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Build a talent sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill role. Use when asked to create a sourcing strategy, a candidate sourcing plan, a channel plan for hiring, or to figure out where to find candidates for a role. Produces a strategy — the ideal-candidate profile and where they are, prioritised sourcing channels, outreach approach, a pipeline target with funnel math, and a weekly plan — so sourcing is deliberate, not just posting and praying.

Sourcing Strategy Skill

Hard roles aren't filled by posting a job and waiting — they're filled by knowing who you need, where they are, and how to reach enough of them to fill the funnel. This skill builds that plan: the target profile, the channels ranked by where the talent actually concentrates, and the pipeline math so you know how many to source to make one hire.

Working from a brief

Given "we can't fill our staff ML engineer role", build the strategy anyway — infer the candidate profile, where they cluster, and a realistic funnel, labelling assumptions. Use funnel ratios with a worked example rather than inventing exact numbers. Never withhold for missing detail.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided (else infer and label):

  • The role — what it is, the must-have skills, level, and what's hard about filling it.
  • Constraints — location/remote, comp band, timeline, and any visa/relocation limits.
  • Selling points — why a strong candidate would want it (and any known weaknesses to counter).
  • What's been tried — current pipeline, channels used, and where it's stalling.

Output Format

Sourcing Strategy: [role]

1. Ideal candidate profile — the realistic must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, the adjacent profiles worth considering (to widen the pool), and the signals that identify a strong fit.

2. Where they are — where this talent concentrates: companies to source from (and avoid), communities, platforms, events, and content they engage with.

3. Channel plan — sourcing channels ranked by likely yield for this role:

ChannelWhy it fitsEffortApproach
Direct sourcing (LinkedIn/GitHub)…highboolean + personalized outreach
Referrals…lowtargeted ask to the team
Communities / events…med…
Job posts / inbound…lowonly part of the mix

4. Outreach approach — the message angle and cadence (pairs with recruiter-outreach and boolean-search-builder).

5. Pipeline target & funnel — how many to source to make the hire: a funnel with ratios + a worked example (e.g. sourced → replied → screened → onsite → offer → hire), so weekly activity is sized to the goal.

6. Weekly plan — the concrete cadence (X sourced, Y outreach, Z screens per week) and how you'll track it.

Quality Checks

  • Starts from a clear candidate profile, including adjacent profiles to widen the pool
  • Names specific places the talent actually concentrates — not just "LinkedIn"
  • Channels are prioritised by likely yield for this role, with effort noted
  • Pipeline is sized with funnel ratios + a worked example, not invented totals
  • There's a concrete weekly activity plan tied to the hire target
  • Selling points and objections are addressed; criteria stay job-related

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not rely on a job post and inbound for a hard role — lead with proactive sourcing
  • Do not define the profile so narrowly that no one qualifies — include adjacent talent
  • Do not invent exact funnel numbers — use ratios and a worked example
  • Do not list channels without prioritisation — say where to spend effort first
  • Do not skip the weekly cadence — strategy without activity targets doesn't fill the role

Based On

Talent-sourcing strategy practice — profile-first sourcing, channel prioritisation by talent concentration, funnel/pipeline math, and a measurable weekly cadence.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Create a sourcing strategy for this role."
  • "Where do we find candidates for this?"
  • "Build a candidate sourcing plan."
  • "Plan our hiring channels for a hard-to-fill role."
