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

What the Sourcing Agent does

DeepSeek is the low-cost way to run this agent as a packaged prompt. 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 DeepSeek

Upload skill.md at the start of a chat, paste the setup prompt, and approve the sample-data test. Keep the Included files in a folder you can reach: each new chat starts fresh, so you re-attach skill.md and re-paste the usage prompt per run.

What a run looks like on DeepSeek

A run looks like this: you open a fresh chat, attach skill.md, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and DeepSeek works through candidate-sourcing. The output - hand it an approved role and a sourcing target - is text you review and carry into your Sheet.

Setup, step by step

  1. Keep the Included files in a folder you can reach; DeepSeek chats start fresh each time.
  2. Start a new chat, upload skill.md and paste setup-prompt.txt.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs candidate-sourcing on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. For each real run, open a fresh chat, re-attach skill.md and paste usage-prompt.txt with this run's inputs.

Honest limits on DeepSeek

DeepSeek has no persistent custom-agent feature, so context resets between chats - the agent behaves like a well-packaged DIY prompt: still faster than writing your own, without standing-cycle persistence.
