Headhunt agents overview
A headhunt agent finds candidates for a role for you. You describe the role, the agent turns it into search criteria, searches public professional profiles across the web, and adds the people who match to the agent criteria as candidates.
- Reach passive candidates who have not applied to your jobs.
- Create one agent per role you are hiring for.
- With auto-shortlisting on, AI reviews every profile against your criteria and moves the best matches to the AI shortlist for you.
- Engage the candidates you like with an email outreach sequence from the same agent.
AI Headhunting is available on below plans:

Who can create headhunt agents?
- Users with access to Whitecarrot AI see Headhunting agents in the left navigation.
- Your plan sets how many agents your company can create. When the limit is reached, Add agent shows a lock and explains the limit. Archive or delete an agent you no longer need, or contact us to raise the limit.
- Sourcing uses Whitecarrot AI credits. The credits each agent has used are shown at the top of the agent page.
Create an agent
- Go to Headhunting agents in the left navigation.
- Click Add agent, or use the arrow next to it to pick how you want to start:
- Create agent (form) — fill in a short brief.
- Start from a JD — paste a job description and let AI draft the criteria.
- Start from a job — pick a job that already exists in the ATS.
- Describe in chat — tell Whitecarrot AI what you are hiring for in your own words.

Step 1: Quick brief
- Enter the Role / job title, for example Senior React Developer. This is the only required field.
- Add the Location(s) you are hiring in. Tick Remote candidates are acceptable if remote works for this role.
- Pick one or more Seniority levels (optional).
- Paste the Job description (optional). A JD gives the AI much better criteria to work with.
- Click Generate criteria, or Skip and fill manually to write the criteria yourself.
