Inside Echobot: How We Use Our Own Tools for Active Sourcing
Success Story
Abstract
If you said that Echobot’s software pushes sales and marketing teams to a new level, you’d be absolutely right. But our tools can give other departments a boost too!
Yasemin Gündüz from our recruiting team gave us some exclusive insights into how she uses our platform for her active sourcing processes. Finding the right candidate for the job has proven to be more effective for her with AI.
The Challenge: The Tendious Task of Finding New Talent
Finding the right person for a role isn’t always easy. It’s often quite the opposite. Recruiting teams across all branches can confirm that the current challenge of finding qualified talent isn’t getting any easier.
Even here at Echobot, we’ve been actively searching for the right fit for our teams.
Usually, our recruiters turn to business platforms like LinkedIn or Xing to source talent. However, using external platforms presents a new set of challenges: the tedious switching between platforms and always having to keep eye on your searches.
Another issue that business platforms present is that the talent that might be a perfect fit, aren’t even on them. That means our recruiting team is missing out on skilled talent.
The Solution: Speeding up Recruiting Processes with Echobot
We already have customers in the headhunting and human resource branches who use our platform for their talent searches. So, it was an obvious choice for us to also turn to our own platform for our own recruiting needs.
There are a lot of advantages to using Echobot for our talent acquisition processes. For example, you can set filters to fit your criteria to pinpoint the kind of candidate you’re looking for. Not only that, but our tools are cross-platform and cross-source.
That means that even if your ideal candidate doesn’t have a profile on a business platform, you can still find them because our crawlers scan “About Us” pages or current company news.
Great right? Let’s take a closer look at a search query that Yasemin carried out for a role in Marketing:

With the help of our Sales Intelligence Platform, you can combine several roles to get a large pool, but still a very specific set of results.
The results are diverse and can be filtered down even further with hierarchy, location and much more.
The best part is that recruiting will also be able to see other publicly available information such as telephone numbers, email addresses, or social media accounts! Great for active sourcing.
Outcome: Turning Good Recruiting Processes into Great Recruiting Processes
As you saw in the examples: Echobot isn’t just a win for sales and marketing anymore! You now know how to streamline your recruiting processes with our platform and can do away with combing through prospects on LinkedIn or Xing.
