About Scout

Scout is an AI outreach service for recruiting firms and agencies that turns a single candidate resume or LinkedIn profile into booked meetings with hiring managers. It scans live job boards in real time, identifies the actual decision-maker for each matching role, and sends personalized email and LinkedIn outreach on the firm's behalf. Its differentiator is the fully hands-off, candidate-led model — no dashboards or tools to learn — built on the premise that leading with a specific candidate drives far higher response rates than generic recruiter prospecting.
