Hunter AI is Hire22's agentic sourcing agent. It searches the web and multiple talent platforms for candidates who match your JobCoNCT, including passive candidates who aren't actively browsing job boards, then hands them to CoNCT AI for outreach, as one step of the pipeline SARA runs.
Found candidates flow straight to CoNCT AI for outreach
How Hunter AI Actually Sources
Most "AI sourcing" tools are a resume database with a search bar. Hunter AI is an agent. It takes an instruction (your JobCoNCT) and goes to work across sources on its own.
Reads your JD to capture role needs, context, and must-haves, not just keywords
Searches across the web and multiple job sourcing platforms in one pass
Surfaces passive candidates who aren’t actively applying anywhere
Filters by skills, experience, CTC band, location, and notice period before ranking begins
Hands every match to CoNCT AI for outreach automatically, no manual export/import

Hunter AI Doesn't Work Alone
Sourcing is step one of three. Here's the full chain a JobCoNCT sets in motion.
Hunter AI
Sources candidates across the web and talent platforms, including passive talent.
Hunter AI is Hire22’s candidate-sourcing agent. Given a JobCoNCT, it searches the web and multiple talent platforms for candidates who match your role, including passive candidates who aren’t actively job hunting, then passes them to CoNCT AI for outreach.
How is Hunter AI different from a resume database like Naukri Resdex?
A resume database returns whoever matches your keyword search inside that one database. Hunter AI searches across the web and multiple platforms at once, reads the job description for context rather than just keywords, and automatically hands qualified matches to the next agent for outreach.
Does Hunter AI find passive candidates?
Yes, that's the whole point. Most experienced, currently-employed mid-to-senior talent isn't applying to anything. Hunter AI looks there, not just at the people actively hitting "apply."
Is Hunter AI a replacement for LinkedIn Recruiter?
Hunter AI covers what LinkedIn Recruiter is used for (finding and identifying matching candidates) but goes further by also triggering confirmed, multi-channel outreach through CoNCT AI and fit-ranking through JoinX AI, without you manually messaging each candidate.
How does Hunter AI decide who is a match?
It analyzes your JobCoNCT for role requirements, must-have skills, experience range, CTC band, and location, then evaluates candidates against those criteria before sending them onward to CoNCT AI.
Can Hunter AI source for niche or specialized technical roles?
Yes. Hunter AI reads the specific skills and context in your JD rather than matching on generic titles, which is what allows it to surface candidates for specialized or hard-to-fill technical roles.
What happens after Hunter AI finds a candidate?
Every candidate Hunter AI sources is automatically passed to CoNCT AI, which reaches out over WhatsApp, email, SMS, and AI voice call to confirm interest before the candidate ever reaches your dashboard.
Can I use Hunter AI on its own, without the other agents?
No. Hunter AI comes bundled into every JobCoNCT, working alongside CoNCT AI and JoinX AI in one flow. Post once, and sourcing, confirmed interest, and fit ranking arrive together, not as three separate tools you have to stitch together yourself.
