CANDIDATE SOURCING
We find, screen and deliver a shortlist, so your recruiters can focus on interviews and offers.
Filling a role takes more than posting a job advert. Recruiters spend hours searching profiles, reading resumes and reaching out to people who may never reply. That effort leaves less time for the work that matters most, which is speaking with candidates and advising clients.
IA Solutions provides candidate sourcing support for staffing firms and hiring teams. We locate suitable people, review their background and pass you a shortlist that is ready for your own conversations.
Candidate sourcing is the early stage of recruitment. It means finding people who fit a role before they apply, and sometimes people who are not actively looking for a new job. A sourcer searches professional networks, job boards, industry groups and other public channels to build a pool of possible hires.
Strong sourcing gives recruiters more choice. Instead of waiting for applications, your team starts with a ready list of people whose skills and experience match the brief.
Recruiters often carry many open roles at once. Our service acts as an extension of your desk, handling the search and first review so your people can concentrate on interviews, offers and client relationships.
Our work is tailored to your hiring needs, and it usually covers these tasks.
Job brief review to understand skills, seniority, location and salary range
Boolean and keyword searching across professional networks and public sources
Resume and profile review against your requirements
Contact details collection, including verified emails and phone numbers where possible
Basic screening on availability, location and core skills
A clean shortlist delivered in your tracking sheet or applicant system
We read the job description, then ask about must have skills, nice to have skills and anything that would rule a person out. A clear brief saves time later.
Our sourcers use targeted search methods to find people with the right background. We look at job history, skills, industry experience and location.
Each profile is compared against your checklist. We remove poor matches and note why each remaining person is a good fit.
You receive organized candidate details with short notes. If you want changes, we refine the search and send an updated list.
We have supported hiring across technology, finance, healthcare, sales, administration, engineering and customer service. Our researchers are comfortable with both specialist roles and high volume hiring.
Whether you work as an agency recruiter, an in house talent partner or a business owner hiring your first employees, we can adapt to your pace and your preferred tools.
Good recruiting depends on trust. We only use information that is publicly available or that candidates have shared in a professional context. We follow your guidance on how people should be approached, and we treat all candidate details as private business information.
Your team stays in control of every conversation with a candidate. We prepare the ground, and you build the relationship.
Staffing agencies often need volume. A recruiter may carry fifteen or twenty vacancies, and each one needs a fresh pool of people. Our sourcers can work on several roles at the same time, which keeps your pipeline full even during busy weeks.
In house hiring teams have a different challenge. They usually support one company, but they may have only a few people covering every department. In that case, our support fills a gap without the cost of permanent hires.
Since 2011, we have worked with clients who need dependable research support. Our team is trained to follow instructions closely, to ask questions when a brief is unclear and to report progress honestly.
You can start with a single role to see how we work. If it suits you, we can move to a steady monthly arrangement.
A strong brief makes sourcing faster and more accurate. Before you send us a role, consider these points.
If you are not sure about any of these, we can talk it through and help you shape the brief.
No. We support them. Our team handles searching and first review, while your recruiters handle interviews, negotiations and client contact.
That depends on the role and how rare the skills are. We agree a target number with you at the start and share early samples so you can adjust.
In many cases, yes. We can also deliver results in a spreadsheet if you prefer.
Once the brief is clear, searching can start within a day or two.
If your team is stretched across too many vacancies, candidate sourcing support can bring quick relief. Send us a role description and we will explain how we would approach it, what you can expect and how soon.
