The average recruiter spends 13 hours a week sourcing candidates. Most of that is LinkedIn tabs, cross-referencing spreadsheets, writing personalized messages, and logging everything into an ATS.
Your time is best spent in real conversations with great candidates. Most of it goes to getting those conversations set up.
A better way to recruit, with Strawberry
Work happens in the browser, and Strawberry is the best place to let AI help with your busy work. Your personalized AI companion works where you already are, not in a separate window waiting for you to copy-paste context into it. It sees your tabs, browses sites on your behalf, and connects directly to the tools you rely on. Strawberry goes beyond summaries and feedback: it does the work.
Here's how Strawberry can handle the sourcing and syncing so you can focus on the people.
Start small
You don't need to overhaul your recruiting process to try this. Strawberry looks and works like the browser you already use. It just does more.
Things to try
Your companion works with you to clarify what you're looking for, then searches across LinkedIn, GitHub, personal websites, and other sources.
You receive a research report with fit assessments and suggested outreach angles. It tells you how many profiles it reviewed and why it filtered certain ones out.
Just say "Find me some candidates" and your companion walks you through the rest.
Your companion connects directly to popular ATS tools like Ashby. It can cross-reference candidates against LinkedIn profiles and portfolios, detects role changes, flags duplicates, and keeps your pipeline clean.
The result is an ATS your team actually trusts. No more wondering if a candidate was already contacted for a different role.
It learns your writing style from previous outreach and brand voice documentation.
For email sequences, it can enroll candidates in tools like Lemlist or your ATS's built-in sequencing. Nothing goes out without your approval.
Your companion connects to your calendar, then pulls the candidate's background, recent activity, portfolio, GitHub contributions, and prior ATS interactions.
Findings go directly to Notion, Google Docs, or wherever you take notes.
Your companion learns over time
You don't need to worry about writing long prompts. Your companion learns both from your existing docs and from chatting with you. Over time, your companion remembers your hiring criteria and gets better at screening candidates. It learns which profiles you moved forward and which you passed on. It picks up your outreach style, your evaluation preferences, and your deal-breakers.

Tips for working with your companion
Think of your companion less like a chatbot and more like a capable assistant who learns your preferences over time.
- Start with what you want, not how to do it. You don't need to break tasks into steps—just say "find me candidates for this role" or "prep outreach for these candidates." Your companion figures out the approach and asks clarifying questions if needed.
- When you're stuck, just ask. Not sure what your companion can help with? Ask it. "What can you help me automate?" or "How should I approach this sourcing project?" It's designed to guide you through workflows, not wait for perfect prompts.
- Use connected apps when you can. Your companion works faster and more reliably when it can connect directly to tools like your ATS and LinkedIn rather than navigating websites.
- Communicate like you would with a person. You can be specific: "Spend 10 minutes on this, not an hour" or "Remember that we prioritize candidates with startup experience." Your companion adapts to your working style and remembers your preferences for next time.
Trust & safety
Recruiters are protective of their candidate relationships and their personal brand. You should be. Two things to know:
- Your companion never sends anything without your approval: Outreach drafts are presented for review. ATS updates can be flagged for confirmation before they're committed. You stay in control of every interaction and can adjust preferences in settings.Pro tip: Use separate browser profiles with different logins and permissions to limit what your companion can access and do.
- Your companion respects platform limits: On LinkedIn specifically, your companion respects daily limits and browses at human speed. With one agent at a time, it sends personalized notes with varied timing. The goal is to use your account in a sustainable way.
Strawberry is built local-first—your chats, passwords, and browsing data stay on your device, not in the cloud. Read more about our approach to security in our white paper.
