@laidback the direct pool is dry for [role]. Give me 3 adjacent pools and 15 starter candidates each.

Done, here is the result:
- 1.Map skill overlap across adjacent roles, industries, and tools.
- 2.Rank pools by size, reachability, and comp fit.
- 3.Return a starter list of 15 candidates from each pool.
Nothing goes out without you. Which adjacent pool becomes a live search.
How I run it
- 1.Compute skill-overlap adjacency.
- 2.Rank pools by size, comp fit and reachability.
- 3.Return starter lists per pool.
What I need from you
- —The role and current disqualifiers.
- —How wide to go on adjacency (near/mid/far).
Where I stop and ask
- —Turning a pool into a live search.
