Ainstein + Copilot. Search, source and find job leads inside Microsoft 365
Ainstein is an official Copilot connector, included in the Intelligence package. Connect it once and Microsoft 365 Copilot can search Ainstein's people, company and job data, check your own ATS records, unlock verified contact details and push results into JobAdder or Bullhorn. Your recruiters stay in Teams, Outlook and Word while Ainstein does the searching. No exports, no tab switching.
What you can ask Copilot
Find people
- “Find civil engineers in Christchurch with five or more years' experience who changed jobs in the last 18 months.”
- “Which candidates already in our JobAdder or Bullhorn database are chartered accountants based in Brisbane?”
Enrich and shortlist
- “Get verified mobile numbers and emails for the top five and save them to a folder called Q4 engineers.”
- “Which of these have a high Approach Score right now?”
Find job leads
- “Which companies in Auckland have advertised more than three finance roles this month?”
- “Show me new project manager jobs posted in Melbourne this week and who is hiring.”
Sync to your ATS
- “Add these three people to the Senior Engineer job in JobAdder.”
- “Push this company and its hiring manager into Bullhorn.”
How it works
Copilot asks Ainstein
When you ask a question about people, companies or jobs, Copilot calls Ainstein through MCP with your permissions.
Ainstein does the search
Results come from Ainstein's enriched database or your own ATS records, depending on what you asked. The two are never mixed up.
You decide what happens next
Unlock contact details, save to a folder, set a job alert or push to your ATS. Searches made through your assistant and contact unlocks both use your Ainstein credit balance.

Your data and permissions
Microsoft 365 Copilot can only see what you ask it to look up, and only within the permissions of your Ainstein account. Your ATS records are searched read-only unless you ask to push something in. Ainstein does not use your data to train AI models. Ainstein data is stored in region (APAC for Australia and New Zealand customers, EU for UK and European customers). For how Microsoft 365 Copilot itself handles conversation data, see Microsoft's privacy statement.
