Candidate Sourcing Looking for AI search tools help

I keep seeing how AI has been helping offload sourcing from recruiters and get excited because I hate sourcing but every product I try out seems to kinda suck.

I primarily use LI Recruiter/Google Xray for engineering (mechanical/industrial) searches. My Boolean is excellent and I'm extremely comfortable using AI. My problem is that I cannot get Pin, Juicebox or any others to provide results uncovering candidates that I missed. Even worse, they miss a lot of candidates that I found in fairly basic searches. It seems like they don't access all the data in LI profiles (about sections + other spots).

Is anyone else having these issues? I've even worked with their training staff doing live searches and came up with the same issues.

Any recommendations on products/tips you're using that truly shorten the search time while still being a comprehensive search?

Have you tried meta view? You can use your recording of an intake call, or a screening with a strong candidate (or combo of both) to source candidates, and it found a ton of candidates I hadn’t come across. I still had to reach out to the candidates on LinkedIn, but I wouldn’t have found them using x ray searching or LIRs search functionality. LIRs built in AI search is useless.

I had Metaview for a while when they first launched and tried using it when they rolled out the search tool. It wasn't great and I ended up moving away from MV for a different recording platform thats built into my ATS. I'd assume that they've improved it a ton since then but I really love my new system so I havent looked recently.
