1. **Search the open market**

   Open the role, select `Sourcing` and describe who you're looking for in `Search the open market`. Each person comes with a match score out of 100. Open a few profiles and read why they matched before you go further.

2. **Draft your outreach email**

   Open `Outreach flow` and click `Draft messages`. Tandem writes a short sequence from the job description. Read each email, pick a candidate in `Preview for` to see what they'll get, and edit anything that doesn't sound like you. Then select people in `Sourcing` and click `Add to outreach`.

3. **Read your results**

   In `Outreach flow`, open `Activity` to see how many people opened, clicked and applied. A candidate's emails stop as soon as they apply, and they join the role's pipeline like any applicant.
