SOURCING PODS
Your recruiters can close. Someone has to open.
A dedicated pod feeding your TA team weekly - prospects, qualified profiles, interested candidates - screened against the same engine we use on retained search.
THE RECOGNITION
Your team’s calendar is full of closing work, and the pipeline is starving because nobody has time to open. Hiring managers read that as a talent problem. It’s a top-of-funnel problem.
THE AUTHORITY
Qualigence built its research capability for executive search and extended it to sourcing pods for high-volume TA functions. The same methodology that maps an executive market runs the pod - identification, outreach, qualification, delivery. Your recruiters close. We keep the engine full.
Research heritage since 1999 · 60%+ of the Fortune 500 have used Qualigence · 85% retention on placed candidates over 24 months
THE SCIENCE
Why selection - the science under every service.
Most firms compete on access - who they know. We compete on evidence - what a candidate has actually done under pressure, tested against a definition of winning your team wrote down before the search opened. That is the 6-Step Performance Engine™: define winning, test identity and behavior against it, protect the standard through feedback and the decision.
It’s why 85% of our placed candidates are still performing at 24 months, and why 60%+ of the Fortune 500 have used Qualigence since 1999.
THE PLAN
One call. Bring the role and the problem you haven't been able to solve.
The engine takes it from there - research, screen, evidence, debrief.
You own the decision. We built the system that made it defensible.
HOW IT WORKS
The pod runs top-of-funnel for your internal team. Each week your recruiters receive three categories of candidates: prospects identified but not yet contacted, qualified profiles contacted and interested, and screened candidates ready to advance.
Every delivery includes a reporting summary - hours worked, activities completed, outreach response rates, conversion at each stage. You always know what the pod is doing and what it is producing.
The cost is predictable and monthly. No placement fees. No per-candidate charges. No surprises when your team closes well.

QUESTIONS
What is a sourcing pod?
A sourcing pod is a dedicated research and outreach team embedded into your talent acquisition function. The pod runs top-of-funnel work - identifying, mapping, reaching, and qualifying candidates - so your internal recruiters receive a steady flow of interested, screened prospects rather than sourcing their own pipeline on top of closing work.
How is this different from posting on LinkedIn or Indeed?
Job postings attract people looking for a new role. Sourcing pods find people who are qualified and reachable - including the high performers who are not applying anywhere. Active sourcing reaches a candidate population that job postings never touch, and it produces candidates screened against the role's requirements rather than self-selected by a job title.
What does weekly delivery include?
Each weekly delivery includes a set of prospects (identified, not yet contacted), qualified profiles (contacted, interested, screened against role requirements), and interested candidates ready for your recruiter to advance. Delivery comes with a reporting summary: hours worked, activities completed, conversion rates at each stage.
How is pricing structured?
Sourcing pods are priced on a predictable monthly basis - scoped to the number of roles, required output volume, and engagement model. There are no per-placement fees. You know the cost before the pod starts, and the cost does not change based on how many candidates your recruiters close.
Volume without a standard just moves the problem downstream. Put the screen in before the first call goes out.
