Candidate Enrichment Guide

Candidate enrichment is the process of adding context, role-fit signals, contact information, and engagement history to a raw candidate profile. Enrichment turns a name and title into a record your team can act on.

What enrichment includes

• Role-fit scores and skill alignment notes
• Contact information and outreach channel preferences
• Sourcing source attribution and discovery date
• Engagement history and previous outreach context
• Candidate stage and next action tracking

Why enrichment matters for sourcing teams

A well-enriched candidate record helps your team understand who a prospect is, why they were sourced, what role they fit, and where they are in the pipeline. Without enrichment, candidate records lose context over time and require rework before each outreach attempt.

Enrichment best practices

Enrich candidate records as soon as they enter the pipeline. Capture source attribution, role-fit notes, and contact status at the point of discovery. Review and update enrichment data when candidates move between pipeline stages or after outreach touchpoints.
