An RPO Alternative for the Roles Your Applicants Can't Fill.
Visage finds and contacts people for your hard-to-fill roles and delivers the ones who reply yes into your ATS, with no retainer, delivered through your ATS agency portal (no integration required) or a full integration. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.

Why Enterprise TA Teams Are Considering an RPO Alternative
RPOs can be one way to organize sourcing. For hard-to-fill roles, teams may also want a model that keeps delivery and calibration close to their existing ATS workflow.
Retainers that run regardless of results
RPOs can charge monthly fees whether they deliver people for a role or not. That can make it harder to align spending with active hiring needs.
Limited visibility into the work
When search strategy, outreach volume, and response patterns are difficult to see, it can be harder to calibrate a role quickly.
Long onboarding cycles
Large RPO engagements can take time to activate and can be difficult to adjust when hiring priorities change.
Different operating incentives
TA leaders need a model that can be calibrated to the must-haves their hiring managers care about for each hard-to-fill role.
Sourcing Work, Calibrated to Your Role.
Visage does the sourcing work: searching, calibrating and outreach. It draws from multiple professional, public and proprietary sources. The team reviews a 10-candidate calibration batch and uses your feedback before outreach scales.
Interested candidates are delivered into your ATS for your recruiters to review. Interested means the person replied yes to a message about your role. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.
RPO vs. Visage: Side by Side
Two approaches to sourcing for hard-to-fill roles.
RPO | Visage | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Monthly retainer | Per-Search pricing plus an annual access fee |
| Time to start | Varies by engagement | Agency portal can typically start within days once normal approvals are complete |
| Delivery route | Engagement workflow | Agency portal or full ATS integration |
| Integration | May be part of the engagement | No integration project with the agency portal |
| Visibility | Varies by engagement | Search activity, outreach, and responses can be reviewed |
| Recruiter workflow | Varies by engagement | Delivered into your ATS for your recruiters to review |
| When demand drops | Retainer terms may continue | Search volume follows hiring demand; an annual access fee applies. |
| Candidate quality | Varies by engagement | Calibrated to your must-haves; interested means replied yes |
Two Ways to Get Started
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.
