Using AI in Beamery: Sourcing with Ray

Last Updated:

An Overview of Ray

Ray represents a shift from traditional search to Generative Powered Sourcing. Save time on manual candidate discovery by letting Ray automate the most time-consuming parts of sourcing — so your team can focus on high-impact candidate engagement.

 

Getting to Know Ray

Ray is an AI-powered sourcing assistant built into Beamery. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and Beamery's proprietary Talent Match AI to understand the intent behind your hiring needs — not just keywords.

Rather than requiring you to build complex searches manually, Ray interprets your hiring context and automatically develops an intelligent, targeted search strategy for every role.

 

How Ray Works

When you provide Ray with a hiring need — either through natural language or a job description — it automatically builds a precise and adjacent role search unique to that role. This ensures you see the most relevant candidates first, without spending time manually configuring filters.

For example, you can simply tell Ray:

"I need a Product Owner with banking experience in Austin, Texas."

Ray will understand your context and develop a contextual search strategy tailored to that request.

From there, tell Ray to focus results to be as precise as possible to you're original search or to focus on surfacing candidates who most closely match your role title.

  • Candidate engagement

The Human in the Loop

Ray is designed to support your team — not replace it. A human always stays in the loop when working with Ray. No automated decisions are ever taken by Ray; it surfaces relevant candidates and search strategies for your team to review and act on.

 

In Summary...

Ray is an AI sourcing tool that automates the manual discovery phase of sourcing, helping your team work more efficiently and focus on what matters most — connecting with the right candidates. By combining LLMs with Beamery's Talent Match AI, Ray brings intelligence and speed to every search.
