Candidate sourcing
Pull profiles, resumes, and contact details from professional networks and career sites.
Recruiting automation that actually works
The systems recruiters live in were not built for agents. Browserbase turns repetitive recruiting work into reliable workflows: source candidates, sync your ATS, and run outreach at scale, under one API key. SOC-2 Type II certified.
The Problem
Why recruiting automation keeps breaking
- Copying candidate details between job boards, sourcing tools, and your ATS.
- Sending the same follow-up email a hundred times because no tool quite fits the workflow.
- Getting blocked the moment you try to script a sourcing or outreach flow.
- Logins, MFA, and session timeouts breaking every automation you build.
- Candidate data going stale across disconnected systems within a week.
The Solution
How Browserbase powers recruiting automation
- Real browsers: navigate ATS dashboards, career sites, and sourcing tools like a recruiter would.
- Verified: reach the candidate sources that turn away traditional scrapers, with no per-site tuning.
- Agent Identity: Web Bot Auth signs your agent's requests, so candidate sources can verify it instead of guessing.
- Persistent sessions: stay logged in to your ATS and sourcing tools across runs.
- Full observability: replay every session to debug failed applications or outreach steps.
- Parallel runs: source, screen, and message hundreds of candidates at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is recruiting automation?
Recruiting automation uses software to handle repetitive parts of the hiring process: sourcing candidates, moving them through your ATS, processing applications, and running outreach. With Browserbase, you automate these workflows on the same web tools recruiters already use, without rebuilding integrations or relying on brittle APIs.
How does Browserbase help with ATS automation?
Browserbase runs real browser sessions against your ATS dashboard, so you can move candidates between stages, update fields, and pull reports without an official API. Persistent sessions stay logged in across runs, and full session replay makes it easy to debug any workflow that breaks when the ATS UI changes.
Can I automate candidate sourcing without getting blocked?
Yes. Browserbase combines real Chrome instances with Verified access, residential proxies, and managed CAPTCHA solving, so you can source from career sites and professional networks at scale. Agent Identity adds Web Bot Auth signed requests, so those sources can verify your agent instead of guessing. Check each source's terms of service before you automate against it.
How is this different from a traditional recruiting tool?
Most recruiting tools force you to fit the workflow they support. Browserbase gives you the infrastructure to build the exact workflow you need on top of the web tools you already use. You get the flexibility of custom automation with the reliability of hosted browser sessions.
Is automated recruiting compliant with platform terms of service?
It depends on the platforms and jurisdictions you work in. Many career sites and ATS platforms allow automation for your own data and account workflows. Always review platform terms and consult legal counsel before scaling automation that touches third-party services.
