Reallocate Your Sourcing. Not Your People.
Visage delivers interested candidates for hard-to-fill roles into your ATS, so your team can focus on hiring managers and closing. Interested means the person replied yes to a message about your role. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.

Why Enterprise TA Teams Are Reallocating Sourcing
Internal sourcers bring important role and stakeholder context. For top-of-funnel work on hard-to-fill roles, teams can also decide whether their time is best spent on hiring managers and closing.
Fixed costs that do not flex with demand
A typical fully loaded estimate for an internal sourcer is $80K–$120K per year, whether you are hiring 200 people or 20. Salaries, benefits, tools, and management overhead can remain when hiring slows.
60–90 days to hire, onboard, and ramp
Posting a job, interviewing, extending an offer, waiting for a start date, and ramping a new hire can take time while hard-to-fill roles remain open.
Turnover in sourcing roles
When a sourcer leaves, teams can lose role context and need time to hire and ramp another person while demand continues.
Headcount approvals can slow planning
Adding a sourcer can require a headcount approval, a requisition, a hiring process, and budget sign-off before the work begins.
Reallocation, Not Reduction.
Visage does the sourcing work: searching, calibrating and outreach. Expert sourcers draw from multiple professional, public and proprietary sources. AI helps find and invite candidates; your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.
Interested candidates are delivered into your ATS for your recruiters to review. The team reviews a 10-candidate calibration batch and uses your feedback before outreach scales.
Internal Sourcer vs. Visage: Side by Side
Two approaches to sourcing work for hard-to-fill roles.
Internal Sourcer | Visage | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost model | $80K–$120K/yr (typical fully loaded estimate) | Per-Search pricing plus an annual access fee |
| Time to start | 60–90 days to hire, onboard, ramp | Agency portal can typically start within days once normal approvals are complete |
| Procurement path | Headcount approval and hiring process | No headcount requisition; standard vendor procurement applies |
| Attrition risk | Depends on an individual's tenure | Not tied to one person's tenure |
| Scaling up | Another headcount approval cycle | Add Searches as hiring demand grows |
| Scaling down | Severance, notice period, or RIF process | Search volume follows hiring demand; an annual access fee applies. |
| Vertical expertise | Generalist or limited specialization | Domain-specialist sourcers per vertical |
| Candidate quality | Varies by individual | Calibrated to your must-haves; interested means replied yes |
Two Ways to Reallocate Sourcing
Use the agency portal or choose a full ATS integration for your workflow.
Agency Portal
Your admin adds Visage through your ATS agency portal. There is no integration project with the agency portal, and your normal vendor review still applies.
ATS Integration
For teams that want a deeper workflow connection, Visage can be delivered through a full ATS integration. A full integration typically takes 2–3 months.
