Contactful for Talent Sourcers
Stop losing candidates to messy notes, scattered tabs, and “I’ll follow up later”.
Contactful turns LinkedIn sourcing into a clean daily system:
save profiles, add durable notes + tags, then move candidates through
custom pipelines with your own stages (up to 3 pipelines for separate workflows).
No scraping. No fragile automation. Just consistency.
The sourcing problem isn’t finding — it’s follow-up
Great sourcers don’t need “more profiles”. They need durable context, clean shortlists, and a simple way to keep momentum.
Why talent sourcers love Contactful
It’s not a heavy recruiting platform. It’s a lightweight LinkedIn workflow system that makes follow-ups inevitable.
Candidate context that survives weeks
Capture “why this person” in one line. Keep notes that still make sense after 30 days — so you don’t restart the conversation from zero.
Shortlists without spreadsheets
Tag by role, seniority, stack, location, salary band, availability. Filter fast. Build shortlists in minutes.
Custom pipelines with your stages
Run up to 3 pipelines (e.g. Active Roles / Silver Medalists / Outreach). Name stages exactly how your process works.
Local-first vault
Your saved profiles, notes, and tags live on your device. More control, less “tool friction”, and a cleaner privacy story.
Faster than “recruiting platforms”
No setup ceremony. No “admin work”. Save → tag → stage → next step — right where you work.
Export when you decide
When it’s time to share or hand over, export shortlists to CSV/Excel and move them into ATS/CRM.
A simple sourcing loop that actually gets used
The goal is not “perfect data”. It’s consistent progress — every saved profile has context and a next step.
Example pipeline ideas for sourcers
- Active Role: Sourced → Outreach → Replied → Interview → Offer
- Silver Medalists: Great Fit → Hold → Re-check → Re-engage
- Network: Potential Future → Keep Warm → Intro Needed
Why “3 pipelines” matters
Most tools mix everything into one place. Contactful lets you keep workflows separated: active roles vs bench vs partnerships — each with stages that match reality. That’s what makes the system stick.
