Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about switching to boilr from SourceBreaker.

Does boilr replace SourceBreaker entirely?

For many agencies, yes. boilr sources candidates from a role brief, shortlists them and drafts the outreach, which covers the core use case. If you have deep ATS-specific workflows built around SourceBreaker, book a call and we will walk through the specifics with you.

How does boilr source candidates?

You give the agent a role brief. It searches across sources, scores candidates against your criteria, shortlists the best matches and drafts personalised outreach for each. The shortlist and messages land in your Tasks inbox for you to review and send.

What is the BD motion that SourceBreaker does not cover?

boilr finds and enriches target client companies that match your ICP, monitors them for signals (funding, leadership moves, hiring velocity) and drafts company-facing outreach when the timing is right. That is the business development motion, and it runs alongside candidate sourcing from the same agent.

Do I need to migrate data from SourceBreaker?

No. boilr works alongside your existing ATS. Enriched candidates and companies push directly into your ATS records automatically. There is no migration, no CSV import and no ramp period.

How does the Company Brain differ from an ATS or CRM?

Your ATS stores records. The Company Brain stores context: which angles opened which accounts, which ICP signals led to placements, what the agent has learned from every task your team has sent. It is shared across all consultants and retained when someone leaves.

One AI employee. Both motions covered.
