For staffing & recruitment agencies
Offshore recruitment support for staffing agencies
Add sourcing capacity to every desk without hiring more recruiters. A dedicated resourcer finds, engages and logs candidates in your ATS, so your recruiters spend their day with clients and closes.
The short answer
Offshore recruitment support means a dedicated resourcer, usually based in India or the Philippines, who sources, screens and logs candidates in your ATS while your own recruiters handle clients and placements. AffinitySteps, founded by Himank Seth in 2016, provides dedicated resourcers to staffing and recruitment agencies of every size, working 2 to 8 hours per business day inside the agency’s own systems.

Offshore resourcer, junior hire or freelancer?
The three common ways agencies add sourcing capacity, compared on what usually decides it.
| Dedicated offshore resourcer | Junior in-house recruiter | Freelance marketplace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Days, on a pilot | Weeks to hire and train | Days, but varies by person |
| Cost basis | Hours per business day | Salary, benefits, desk, recruitment fee | Hourly or per task, plus platform fees |
| Works in your ATS | Yes, under your logins | Yes | Sometimes |
| Continuity | Usually covered by the provider | Depends on retention | Depends on the individual |
| Scale up or down | Add or remove hours | Hire or let go | Re-hire each time |
Most agencies keep client relationships, interviews and offers in-house and outsource the search and admin around them.

What is offshore recruitment support?
It is sourcing, screening and recruitment admin done by a dedicated person in a lower-cost country, such as India, working for your agency inside your own systems. Your recruiters keep the client relationship and the placement; the resourcer fills the pipeline.
Do you work with small agencies?
Yes. AffinitySteps works with agencies of every size, from solo recruiters on a few hours a day to large firms with several desks.
Do resourcers work in our ATS?
Yes. Resourcers work inside your own ATS and CRM, including Bullhorn, Crelate and Big Biller, so every candidate and note stays in your system.
Which regions do you cover?
Agencies hiring in the US, UK and Ireland, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region.
Who controls access to our systems?
You do. Resourcers work under logins you create, with the permissions you choose, and you can remove access at any time.

It is priced on the hours you need, from 2 to 8 hours per business day, and quoted after a 20-minute call.
