Some roles fill themselves.
Licensed roles rarely do.
The nurse, financial advisor, or dental hygienist you need may be working for someone else right now. That doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in your offer.
These passive candidates are an untapped goldmine for filling staff shortages in healthcare and other licensed professions. Puck helps you dig them up.
Puck’s talent acquisition platform includes AI Sourcing for hard-to-fill roles that require a license.
Here's how it works.
Puck’s AI Sourcing software does the legwork.
You take it from there.
Tell Puck the role and the location
Choose the license the role requires and how many miles from your location to search. Puck can also read your job description to set up the search for you.
Puck searches license records
Prospects come straight from state licensing board records. AI ranks them against the criteria your team sets, so you can review the strongest matches first and choose who to reach out to.
Outreach comes from your inbox
Personal emails and follow-ups send from your recruiter’s email address, not a generic company account. Candidates are more likely to trust, and answer, a message from a real person.
Candidates reply, then you step in
Once someone responds, the automation stops. Your recruiter picks up a real conversation with a qualified candidate who’s already interested.
Licensed. Local. Verified.
Most candidate sourcing software searches large databases built from online profiles. But licensed professionals don’t always keep their public profiles up to date.
Puck looks at the license first.
Data comes from official state records, so you aren’t relying on what someone typed into a profile years ago.
The result: every prospect holds the license your role requires, in the state where you’re hiring, within the radius you set.
Puck keeps AI candidate sourcing human
Puck handles the busywork and keeps your team in the moments that matter.
Recruiters always stay in control
You set the criteria, and AI ranks prospects against them. Your recruiters review the list, decide who to contact, and step in the moment a candidate replies. You make every hiring decision.
Cold outreach that doesn’t feel cold
Add audio clips of real employees to your outreach with Puck’s employer branding content. This increases candidate engagement, and your team members are the best advocates for your company.
Works with your ATS, or on its own
Puck integrates with your existing ATS, so sourced candidates sync straight into your pipeline with no manual upload required. No ATS? They can live in Puck’s Lightweight ATS instead.

Screen every applicant

Frequently asked questions about Puck’s AI candidate sourcing software
What is AI talent sourcing?
AI talent sourcing tools use artificial intelligence to automate, speed up, and streamline how companies find, evaluate, and reach out to potential job candidates who haven’t applied for an open role. Puck’s AI sourcing software builds candidate lists, ranks prospects against your criteria, and sends outreach from your recruiters’ inboxes.
Where does Puck’s candidate data come from?
Puck builds candidate lists from official state licensing board records, then adds contact details where available. Puck verifies emails to help your outreach reach the right inbox. Coverage varies by state and license type.
Can Puck’s candidate sourcing platform find passive candidates?
Yes, that’s what it’s built for. Most licensed professionals already have jobs and aren’t browsing job boards. Puck finds them through license records and starts the conversation for you, so your team can talk with qualified people before they ever see a job post.
Which industries and roles can I source with Puck’s automated talent sourcing solution?
AI Sourcing is built for licensed roles. It’s available now for dental hygienists, registered dental assistants, and dentists, plus registered nurses, physician assistants, and optometrists in healthcare. For unlicensed roles with lots of applicants, Puck’s AI Recruiter screens every applicant by phone instead.
How is AI talent sourcing different from a Talent CRM or an ATS?
AI Sourcing finds new candidates who aren’t in your database yet. Puck’s Talent CRM nurtures people you already know, such as past applicants. An ATS tracks candidates once they’re in your hiring process. Puck connects all three, so interested candidates move into your pipeline without manual uploads.
How does Puck reach out to sourced candidates?
Outreach starts with personal emails and follow-ups sent from your recruiters’ own inboxes, with optional audio clips from your team. The sequence stops when someone replies. Once a candidate applies, Puck can text them, for example, to invite them to an AI Recruiter phone screen.
