How outbound candidate sourcing works

We do the hunting. Your team does the hiring.

Search, contact data, outreach and follow up all run on our side, the same work that goes into a full agency search. We hand over at the first conversation: the candidate books with your recruiter, not ours. You get our expertise, technology, database, media, messaging and resources for a low monthly fee, and you stay in control of every interview and every offer.

Why in-house recruiting stalls

Stuck processing applicants, never hunting.

Most internal recruiters spend their week screening whoever applied, because nobody has given them the time or the outbound tooling to go after the people they actually want. Hiring turns reactive, and the cost lands on the whole business.

Inbound vs outbound recruiting

Waiting for applicants or going after the right people.

Inbound

Whoever turns up

  • Open to anyone who clicks apply
  • Piles of CVs to screen by hand
  • Admin heavy from day one
  • Adverts to post, refresh and juggle
  • Your best candidates never see the ad

Outbound

Who you choose

  • You pick the exact profile to approach
  • Every call is with a qualified candidate
  • Less screening, less admin
  • You only handle people already in conversation
  • Proactive outreach across four channels

Talent Engine FAQs

Outbound candidate sourcing: your questions answered.

What is the Peopleflow Talent Engine?

Talent Engine is an outbound candidate sourcing service for in-house recruiting teams. We find passive candidates who match your brief, contact them by email, LinkedIn, text and voice notes, and the interested ones book a call directly with your recruiters. You keep control of interviews and offers.

Does Talent Engine use AI?

Yes. We use AI for speed and accuracy and combine it with over 38 years of headhunting expertise to achieve unrivalled results for our customers.

How much does Talent Engine cost?

There are three plans: a single role from £1,999 (USD 2,499) per job, for as little as 150 candidates monthly per job; 5 roles for £7,999; or unlimited roles for £14,999. Talent Engine clients also get 20% off our fees for hands-on search on senior level positions.

Who built the Talent Engine?

The Talent Engine was built by Neil Ray, a speaker and recognised industry leader in Europe for AI and technology use in the recruitment industry. Neil is shaping how AI and technology are used in the recruitment industry, and has coached many recruitment agency owners and organisations on how to use AI and tech effectively to source qualified candidates into their diaries. He speaks at TAtech and the Recruitment Agency Expo in London and Birmingham, and judges the AI sourcing category at the National Online Recruitment Awards.

How is Talent Engine different from a recruitment agency?

A typical agency placement costs $10,000 to $20,000, you see the 5 to 10 candidates they submit, and each fee buys one hire. With Talent Engine the sourcing and outreach are the same work an agency does, but candidates book calls with your own team, you keep the whole pipeline, and you can save up to 80% per hire.

How is Talent Engine different from RPO?

Talent Engine covers the top of the funnel: finding, contacting and engaging candidates. Your own recruiters run the calls, interviews and offers, so you add outbound sourcing capacity without handing over your hiring process.

Which outreach channels do you use?

Four: email, LinkedIn, text messages and voice notes. Every new LinkedIn connection receives a voice note.

What kind of roles is Talent Engine best for?

Recurring and high volume roles, the ones you hire for again and again. For senior and leadership roles we run a traditional, hands-on headhunting search, at a 20% discount for Talent Engine clients.

How do you decide who to approach?

Every search is built around your brief: job titles, industries, education, keywords and location.

How do candidates reach my team?

Engaged candidates are loaded into your applicant tracking system and interested candidates book a call directly with your recruiters.

Can I see what is happening in my pipeline?

Yes. You get 100% transparency through our client portal, and the pipeline belongs to you.

How do I get started?

Book a discovery call, tell us which roles you hire for again and again, and we will show you what a live pipeline for them looks like.
