What Visage does

We turn passive sourcing into a dependable enterprise system.

Visage runs the work that happens before a recruiter should spend time with a candidate. The result is a consistent flow of interested candidates inside the system of record.

01

Source beyond the inbound funnel

Visage's sourcing software searches multiple professional, public and proprietary sources for people who match the role. Expert sourcers review the output so recruiters do not have to sift through another noisy database.

02

Engage passive candidates

Visage runs role-specific outreach and delivers the people who reply yes into your ATS, with relevant context. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.

03

Deliver directly into the ATS

Candidates arrive through the ATS's existing vendor channel, with full integration available when deeper automation is required. Recruiters stay in their normal workflow, keep control of the process, and own the candidate data.

What makes Visage different

Built to remove sourcing work—not create another place to do it.

The core difference is architectural: Visage behaves like infrastructure inside enterprise recruiting operations, while the alternatives add tools, fixed labor, or opaque external processes.

01

Infrastructure, not another destination

Standalone sourcing platforms ask recruiters to adopt another dashboard and move data between systems. Visage operates upstream of the recruiter and delivers candidates into the ATS they already use.

02

Live in one to three days

The recommended Quick Start path uses the ATS's existing vendor channel—the same operational route enterprises already use for external vendors. There is no integration project required to start, and normal vendor, privacy and security approvals still apply.

03

Technology with human calibration

Sourcing software supports discovery, matching, outreach, and summarization across multiple professional, public and proprietary sources. Expert sourcers calibrate searches and review results before candidates reach the hiring workflow.

04

Outcomes instead of seats or activity

Customers pay per Search — one role each — plus an annual access fee, rather than for recruiter licenses, InMail volume or an RPO retainer. We quote the all-in cost per role up front.

05

Search volume that follows hiring demand

Search volume follows hiring demand; an annual access fee applies. Teams can add Searches across roles, regions and business units as needs change.

Who uses Visage

Enterprise TA teams that need interested candidates without more complexity.

Visage is designed for large organizations where sourcing demand changes across business units, geographies, and hiring cycles. It is especially effective when recruiters are overloaded by search work or passive pipeline is inconsistent.

The right buyer question

“How do we fill the roles our applicants can't, without adding headcount, another platform, or a long integration project?”

01

Companies with 5,000+ employees and recurring enterprise hiring demand

02

Global or regional TA leaders managing distributed recruiting teams

03

Organizations hiring for hard-to-fill roles where inbound volume is not enough

04

Teams reducing reliance on RPO retainers or incremental sourcing headcount

05

Recruiters who need to spend more time evaluating, engaging, and closing talent

06

Enterprises that need sourcing to work inside Workday, Oracle, SAP, iCIMS, Greenhouse, or another ATS

The team behind Visage

Founder LinkedIn

Built by people who understand both recruiting operations and technology.

Before Visage, Joss co-founded and scaled a recruitment business across nine countries. He saw first-hand that enterprise recruiters did not need more candidate databases—they needed a reliable system that removed the manual sourcing burden.

Visage was founded in 2016 by Joss Leufrancois and Emmanuel Marboeuf, combining recruiting operating experience with deep technology expertise. The company evolved from a destination platform into sourcing infrastructure designed to work inside enterprise ATS workflows.

Today, Visage brings together product, data, customer success, sourcing operations, and a global community of more than 4,000 expert sourcers. That combination lets AI do the repetitive work while people add judgment where quality matters.

How Visage works

From first conversation to candidates in the ATS.

The operating model is designed to be simple for recruiters and practical for enterprise teams.

01

Launch

Use the ATS vendor channel for a one-to-three-day Quick Start, or choose a deeper ATS/API integration.

02

Brief

Share roles through the ATS, email, or a 15-minute intake call. Visage captures requirements and priorities.

03

Source & engage

Sourcing software searches multiple professional, public and proprietary sources and runs outreach while expert sourcers calibrate searches and review results.

04

Deliver & improve

Interested candidates arrive in the ATS. Feedback and hiring outcomes inform the next search.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about Visage.

What is Visage?

Visage is sourcing technology and infrastructure for enterprise talent acquisition teams. It discovers, engages, and delivers interested candidates directly into the customer's existing ATS workflow.

Is Visage a recruitment agency or RPO?

No. Visage is technology, not a recruitment agency, staffing firm, or RPO. It works inside the systems and processes enterprise TA teams already own.

How does Visage connect to an ATS?

The recommended Quick Start path uses the ATS's existing vendor channel, so Visage can begin delivering interested candidates without an integration project or a new recruiter workspace. No integration does not mean no review. Your normal vendor, privacy and security approvals still apply. Full ATS or API integration is also available for organizations that want deeper data exchange.

Does Visage use AI to make hiring decisions?

No. Visage does not make hiring decisions. Software supports candidate discovery, matching, outreach, and summarization; expert sourcers calibrate searches and review results. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.

How quickly can an enterprise launch Visage?

A Quick Start deployment typically takes one to three days. Most roles receive initial candidates within days, and 80% of roles receive full delivery within 10 business days. Your normal vendor, privacy and security approvals still apply.

Who is Visage built for?

Visage is built for enterprise talent acquisition teams, especially organizations with 5,000 or more employees, distributed hiring demand, and recurring hard-to-fill roles. It is designed for leaders who need interested candidates for the roles their applicants can't fill, without adding fixed headcount, an RPO retainer, or another standalone platform.

How does Visage pricing work?

Per-Search pricing with volume tiers, plus an annual access fee. We'll quote your all-in cost per role. Each Search covers one role, and pilots are available before an annual agreement.

Your recruiters should recruit. Visage runs the sourcing system behind them.
