The short version
Source in rings: your own database first, then a targeted search, then a search that keeps running. Every reply takes the same journey as your applicants.
Source in rings, closest first
The cheapest candidate is one you already know. Start close to home and widen the search only when you need to. Scout, the sourcing add-on, covers all three rings.
The three rings
- Ring 1: past applicants and talent pools.
- Ring 2: a targeted search for people who fit the role.
- Ring 3: a standing search that keeps looking while you work.
Ring 1: Rediscover your own database

Search people you already met
Past applicants and talent pools are searched too, so good people you met before resurface.
In Scout
Runners-up from last time already know your company and have journey results on file. Reach out to them first.
Ring 2: Search from a description
- 1
Describe who you need
Type the role the way you'd explain it to a colleague, and Scout runs it across licensed data providers.
