You can take someone who has never heard of your company and end up with a booked call — without doing the calendar math or babysitting an inbox. Each piece of Chosen does one part of this; the value is in how they hand off to each other. This is the recipe that turns sourcing from a chore into a pipeline.
The chain only asks for two real decisions from you: who's worth contacting, and whether their reply means yes. Chosen handles the lookups, the queuing, and the scheduling around those two points.
What you'll need
- Gmail connected — outreach and the scheduling emails send from your own inbox.
- Google Calendar connected — the AI scheduler can't see free/busy without it.
- An open job, so the prospect has a role to be imported into. Post a job if you haven't.
The chain
- Run a Mission to find prospects. In Sourcing → Search, describe the person you want in plain language — role, seniority, location, the kind of company. Missions search the web and stream matches into your Prospects table. Select the job in the left sidebar first so the Mission is linked to the role.
- Enrich the email on the prospects worth contacting. A Mission usually returns a best-guess email or a "no email available" flag. Open a prospect and run email enrichment — it confirms a real work or personal address in the background, in roughly 10 to 60 seconds. Run it only on the people you've actually decided to contact.
- Draft the outreach per prospect. In the prospect's Contact & outreach section, use an AI draft — it writes a first message around that person's parsed profile. With the job selected, turn on Personalize using selected role so the draft pitches the specific job. Read what it wrote; it's a confident draft, not a finished email.
- Let the queued message send itself. Here's the part that makes this hands-off: if you draft outreach before enrichment has resolved an address, the Send button becomes Get email & send. Chosen queues the message and sends it the moment enrichment lands an address. You can draft and walk away — no second visit.
- Reply, and import the prospect. When a prospect writes back, reply yourself — this is a relationship, not an automation. Once they're interested, convert the prospect into a candidate on the job. Their profile, links, and work history carry over, and Chosen computes a match rating against the role.
- Hand the booking to the AI scheduler. From the new candidate's detail page, click Schedule and start a request. The AI scheduler reads calendars, offers the candidate a few real slots, and books the call when they pick one.
Where it can break
- The Mission returns a noisy list. A web search inherits a web search's failure modes — too loose a description gives you near-misses, too narrow gives you three people. Sharpen the description and re-run; don't re-run the same wording ten times. On the Starter plan, searches and enrichments share a small lifetime cap.
- Enrichment comes back "no match." Some people have no discoverable work email. That's a real answer, not a retry loop. The prospect's LinkedIn and source links on their record are the fallback. A queued message can only wait for an address that's actually coming — if enrichment already returned "no match," Chosen won't let you queue.
- The draft reads generic. An AI draft is only as good as the parsed profile behind it. A thin profile produces a thin message — check the experience timeline and edit by hand.
- The scheduler finds no slots. Tight availability windows or full calendars mean no overlap. The scheduler tells you rather than guessing — loosen a window.
Variations
- Already-sourced prospect. If the right person is someone a past Mission surfaced, skip the web search. Run a smart search over your Prospects pool instead — it's free and instant — then pick up the chain at enrichment.
- Email already confirmed. If enrichment resolved before you drafted, the button stays Send and the message goes immediately. Same chain, no queue.
- You'd rather approve the scheduling email. When you start the scheduling request, choose draft-for-approval instead of automatic send. The candidate-facing email then waits in the AI events tab for your sign-off.
- Let HQ start the scheduling request. Instead of clicking Schedule, ask HQ to create a scheduling request for the candidate — it produces a plan you approve.
