We’ve built a platform that high-quality candidates love to use. By delivering rich company insights in one place, we regularly see that 70-80% of hires can be made via inbound application.

When you should Source on the platform

However, sometimes you may need to source. Sourcing with us cuts out noise by populating a pool of relevant candidates at the right experience, salary and functional level you’re looking for.

We recommend bolstering your inbound pipeline this way to:

  1. Enhance diversity Diversity filters by gender, ethnicity and seniority empower you and your recruitment teams to proactively shortlist and message candidates with certain characteristics. Combined with our inbound analytics view, you will be able to make smart decisions about how to proactively diversity your approach.

  2. Target passive candidates Some candidates will save your role but not make the leap to apply. ‘Saved’ filters allow you to review quality candidates who are interested in your role and can lead to response rates of 70%+.

  3. Target niche or hard to find candidates There will always be a need to find candidates with a specific technology stack or niche. Using keyword search alongside our pre-filtered talent pool allows you to remain laser-focused, save time and message only the most relevant candidates based on your needs.

Sourcing is available as an add-on for Pro customers. If you’d like to learn more about Sourcing on the platform, get in touch.

Additional benefits for Pro customers

If you’ve already unlocked this feature, you can book a Sourcing session for you and your team with your Customer Success Manager. They will be able to work in tandem with you to refine your Sourcing search, build an initial pipeline and give you current market insights to help you save time and find the candidates you need.
