What is AffinitySteps?
AffinitySteps gives staffing firms dedicated sourcers who work as an extension of their recruiting desk. The team runs Boolean and LinkedIn sourcing, candidate outreach, contact verification, resume database building and hiring-manager list generation, and delivers submission-ready candidates into the client's ATS.
What does dedicated candidate sourcing include?
A dedicated sourcer works on your open roles: building Boolean and LinkedIn Recruiter searches, finding and verifying candidate emails and phone numbers, reaching out to candidates and logging every profile in your ATS. You get daily reporting on the work done.
Which ATS do your sourcers work in?
AffinitySteps sourcers work directly in Bullhorn, Crelate and Big Biller, as well as custom applicant tracking systems. Candidates, notes and pipeline stages stay in your own system, so your recruiters see the work as it happens.
How does an engagement work?
Engagements are remote and flexible, from 2 to 8 hours per business day, with daily reporting and project management oversight. Each one starts with a conversation about your roles, volumes and ATS, and the engagement is shaped around that requirement.
Which regions and industries do you support?
AffinitySteps supports staffing firms and hiring teams in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region. Focus industries are technology and engineering, healthcare, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, and executive leadership.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing follows the requirement: hours per day, number of roles and the level of support you need. Options range from a scoped, single-outcome engagement to ongoing sourcing support and end-to-end ownership of a recruiting pipeline. Book a 20-minute call for a quote based on your roles.
