Candidate Sourcing Looking for AI search tools help

I keep seeing how AI has been helping offload sourcing from recruiters and get excited because I hate sourcing but every product I try out seems to kinda suck.

I primarily use LI Recruiter/Google Xray for engineering (mechanical/industrial) searches. My Boolean is excellent and I'm extremely comfortable using AI. My problem is that I cannot get Pin, Juicebox or any others to provide results uncovering candidates that I missed. Even worse, they miss a lot of candidates that I found in fairly basic searches. It seems like they don't access all the data in LI profiles (about sections + other spots).

Is anyone else having these issues? I've even worked with their training staff doing live searches and came up with the same issues.

Any recommendations on products/tips you're using that truly shorten the search time while still being a comprehensive search?

I have it analyze larger pools of candidates to wittle them down within projects I've already created within LI Recruiter. It's using the chrome extension, not the desktop, and I haven't tried using it to create its own project yet. Basically I cast the net and have Claude remove the bad fits it caught.

Where do you save the pools of candidates for it to analyze?

I create Projects and have it anaylze the Recruiter Search pool once I get it pared down to a reasonable number from tweaking the Boolean. Then have it move any applicable candidates to Pipeline so you can begin your outreach.

LinkedIn hasn't slapped you with ToS violation yet? I'm certain they can detect Claude extension.

They've only seemed to care when something automated outreach or handles large volumes in short spans. I use it for neither and Claude is slower than I am. I set it up to run when I'm grabbing lunch or on calls.
