What to ask your agent: people you already know

Use Vamo on candidates, applicants and lists you already have: check their work, fill in missing details, and prepare for the conversation.

Article summary

  • Vamo enrichment starts from people you already have and adds what a GitHub profile alone does not show.
  • Your agent needs only a GitHub username for each person to enrich them with Vamo.
  • Vamo can add work strength, location, a linked professional profile, contact details and a full research report.
  • Your agent keeps every row you gave it and adds columns beside them.
  • When Vamo has nothing on file for a detail, your agent should say it is unknown.

When you already have the names

Search finds new people. Enrichment starts from people you already have and adds what a GitHub profile alone does not show: how strong their work is, where they are, their linked professional profile, contact details, and a full research report.

All your agent needs is a GitHub username for each person.

Before a conversation

  • Interview preparation: "I am interviewing this candidate tomorrow. What have they built, and what should I ask about?"
  • A summary for the hiring team: "Write a one-page summary of this developer for the hiring manager."
  • A full report: "Run deep research on each of these finalists."

Reaching out

  • Contact details: "Find another way to reach this developer."
  • A personal first message: "Write an opening line for each person that shows we read their code."

Lists from other tools

Export a list from your sourcing tool or your applicant tracking system as a spreadsheet and hand it to your agent.

  • Fill in the gaps: "Add location, LinkedIn and current company to this list."
  • Find the strongest: "Which of these applicants have real engineering work behind them? Rank them."
  • Send a list the other way: "Format these developers so I can import them into our tracking system."

What comes back

Your agent keeps every row you gave it and adds columns beside them. A person it could not match stays in the file, marked as not found.

When Vamo has nothing on file for a detail, your agent should say it is unknown. An empty location does not mean the person has none.
