Setup guide

Sourcing Agent for ChatGPT Dots - candidate sourcing without the hours of tab-hopping

The free Sourcing Agent pack has three text files. Use them as reviewed instructions for ChatGPT Dots, approve a fictional-data test and verify access before each real run.

What the Sourcing Agent does

Hand it an approved role and a sourcing target. You get back a review queue of candidate LinkedIn URLs, each with job-relevant evidence and a source trace, saved as a Google Sheet in your own Drive.

Sourcing quality drops when volume rises. This assistant evaluates each profile against your criteria and records the evidence per candidate, with outreach drafts ready for approval. The two-hour session produces a shortlist with reasons, not a list of links you will have to re-read.

Where the Included files go in ChatGPT Dots

Give skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to your dot as reference instructions it can read. Ask it to restate the job and output contract, then run the setup prompt on fictional data. Review the result before connecting real records. Text instructions do not install a plugin or grant access. OpenAI says local skills require a connected computer, online with the ChatGPT app open.

What a run looks like on ChatGPT Dots

Ask your dot to run the Sourcing Agent with the approved inputs. It should return the workflow's evidence and unknowns for review, not act on missing facts. Review the saved result and proposed actions before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.

Setup, step by step

  1. Check eligible Dots access and connect only the source account this job needs.
  2. Provide skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt as readable reference instructions. A local skill needs a connected computer.
  3. Run the fictional setup test and inspect the actual output.
  4. Use the usage prompt with authorized inputs for a preparation-only real run. Review the destination and saved result before approving actions.

Fictional test: Two fictional search results show the same profile URL with different name spellings. Expected: one review record with both sources, not two candidates or an inferred qualification.

Honest limits on ChatGPT Dots

Dots access is rolling out gradually on eligible plans and accounts. Create your dot on desktop first; mobile web is not supported. Plugins, messaging channels and computer access are separate. Check the connected account and permitted actions. Built-in safeguards and automatic action review apply; custom rules do not override them. This is a documentation-based guide, not a live Dots account test.
