Rose's Capabilities
A tour of what Rose can do — from planning a hire and sourcing real candidates to running outreach from your own accounts, holding conversations, and booking interviews.
This page is the full tour of what Rose can do, in the order she uses it across a hire. For the short version, see How Rose Works; for her skills with example prompts, see What Rose Can Do.
Rose is an agent, not a search box. She works a brief across many steps, the same way a recruiter moves between researching companies, shortlisting people, writing outreach, and chasing replies — and she checks in with you at every decision that matters.
Planning the hire
New chats start in Planning mode. Describe the role and Rose proposes a step-by-step plan — understand the role, explore the market, find candidates, build the shortlist, reach out. Nothing happens until you click Run with me, and she still checks in at each step. See Planning Mode.
Understanding your brief
- Natural-language intake. Describe the role however you'd brief a colleague, or upload a job description (PDF, DOCX or TXT) and Rose fills in the details from it.
- Questions on cards. When something's missing — location, compensation, must-haves — Rose asks, usually several questions on one card, with suggested answers you can tap. Answer in any order; she keeps the details on the project as you go.
- Drafting the job description. No JD yet? Choose Draft with me and Rose writes it with you.
- Your company, built in. If you've filled out your Knowledge Base, Rose carries your company's industry, stage, size, and story into every chat — so you never have to repeat yourself.
See Creating a Project.
Finding candidates
Sizes up the market
Rose can size a talent pool, map the companies your ideal candidate works at today, and find companies like the ones you name — competitors and adjacent players — before you commit to a search.
Calibrates with you
Rose shows you three candidates at a time. Mark each Good match, Not a match, or Unsure — and say why — and the next three come back tuned to your verdicts. Once a round lands, you accept the search and can pull more candidates from it whenever the project needs people. See Calibrating a Search.
Or searches in real time
When you already know exactly who you want — named companies, a specific title — Rose searches live and groups the results into named clusters.
Rose can also search the web for fresh context, such as a company's recent news or funding, and shows you the sources she used.
Relevant experience, not raw totals. Rose shows each candidate's relevant years of experience — excluding internships and time in unrelated roles — so the number reflects experience that actually counts.
Shaping the outreach
Rose asks How should the outreach run? and gives you a builder to shape the sequence from steps — Email, LinkedIn invite, LinkedIn message, and InMail. Start from a template (Email only, LinkedIn only, Email + LinkedIn, or From a project), adjust the steps and waits, then review every message she writes.
- Personalised for every candidate. Rose writes each step for the person and the role, including a personal intro you can edit.
- Deliverability by design. Phrases that tend to land in spam are highlighted; remove them yourself or use Fix all with Rose.
Sending from your own accounts
Outreach goes out from you, so replies come back to you:
- Email sends from your own connected mailbox — Gmail, Outlook, or another inbox (connecting a mailbox is rolling out to workspaces gradually; until then Rose sends for you). For an email-only sequence you can choose Let Rose send it instead. See Mailboxes.
- LinkedIn steps send from your own LinkedIn account. See LinkedIn.
- Paced sending. Messages go out gradually inside your sending schedule, and Rose pauses automatically if emails start bouncing.
Launching
Rose checks your connections, asks how candidate replies should be handled, shows you a final review, and launches when you click Launch project — enriching contact details on the way out. You can keep adding candidates to a running project. See Launching a Project.
Holding the conversation
When a candidate replies, Rose reads and reasons about the message:
Is this a real reply?
Rose filters out auto-responders, spam, and manipulation attempts before anything else happens.
What does the candidate mean?
Rose works out the intent — interested, asking questions, not interested, or asking to opt out — and updates the candidate's pipeline stage.
Did they share availability?
Rose picks out any dates, times, and time zone from the reply. If a time zone isn't stated, she infers it from the candidate's location.
She responds
Rose drafts a reply in your voice — answering questions and, when appropriate, inviting the candidate to book — then sends it, waits for your approval, or steps aside, depending on the reply mode you've chosen. See Your Level of Control.
Opt-outs are always honoured automatically. If a candidate asks to be removed, Rose stops contacting them — no action needed from you.
Booking the interview
When a candidate is ready, Rose closes the loop:
- Finds mutual availability by matching the candidate's stated times against your connected calendar.
- Respects your rules — buffers between meetings, minimum notice, and a daily cap on bookings.
- Books the call — creating the calendar event, attaching a video link, and confirming with both you and the candidate.
The Scheduling Mode in your Interview Preferences decides how much she does:
Rose books interviews automatically on the first available slot.
Rose suggests interview times. You confirm or pick another.
Rose notifies you when a candidate is ready. You book the interview yourself.
Keeping you informed
- The Inbox shows your candidate conversations, with Needs you for the ones waiting on you. See Inbox.
- Notifications reach you by email and, if connected, in Slack when a candidate is ready.
- Project analytics show the funnel for every project. See Project Analytics.
Working safely
- Rose never adds candidates without your say-so. She shows you profiles first and only adds people when you ask — approving a plan never covers it.
- Nothing sends before launch. You approve the outreach sequence and click Launch project yourself.
- Hardened against manipulation. Rose treats candidate messages as untrusted and is protected against attempts to hijack a project through email content.
- Honest about limits. Rose is AI and can make mistakes — give profiles and important replies a glance before they go out.
