Source Open Roles — Search Logic

Registry: this pipeline is listed in the Pipeline Registry in skills/career-engine/SKILL.md. Actions owned by another pipeline's registry row are out of scope here — route to that pipeline instead of improvising.

What This Skill Is For

Sourcing surfaces open roles that match the user's preferences — it is the top-of-funnel step that feeds the application pipeline. It does not research, coach, write, or score fit. Its job is to return a ranked list of roles that are (a) worth looking at and (b) not already in the pipeline.

Preferences Schema

All sourcing preferences live in ${CAREER_DATA}/references/pipeline-preferences.json — there is no separate local preferences store. The relevant keys:

{
  "target_titles": ["Head of Marketing", "VP Marketing"],
  "title_variants": {"Head of Marketing": ["VP Marketing", "Marketing Director", "Head of Growth", "GTM Lead"]},
  "remote_preference": "remote only",
  "exclusion_patterns": ["junior", "intern", "contract"],
  "default_search_time_range": "last week",
  "location_compatibility": {"my_location": "City, Country"},
  "database_id": "<the Notion/tracker database id, or empty to disable deduplication>",
  "screening_answers": {"compensation_floor": "<minimum base, or empty for no minimum>"}
}

Salary floor. There is no separate minSalary field — the scoring rubric's salary signal reads screening_answers.compensation_floor directly. Leave it blank for no minimum.

Database id. Read database_id (legacy notion_database_id) from pipeline-preferences.json — the same single source the rest of the plugin uses. If it's empty, dedup is skipped and the agent notes it.

Keyword Expansion

Target titles are searched as a variant set, not verbatim. The same role surfaces under many titles — "Product Marketing Manager," "Technical PMM Director," "Senior PMM," "GTM Enablement Lead," "Head of Marketing" — so a verbatim search for one misses the rest. Expanding at search time (not only fuzzy-matching at scoring time) is the single highest-payoff widener.
