An Alternative to AI Sourcing Software for the Roles Your Applicants Can't Fill.
Software finds matches; someone still has to work them. Visage does the sourcing work, in your talent pools and the market, and delivers the people who reply yes into your ATS. Your recruiters decide whom to interview and hire.
Why Enterprise TA Teams Look Beyond Sourcing Software
Licenses that need recruiter time
Software helps your team search faster. Your recruiters still set up searches, review matches and manage outreach for every role.
Another tool to adopt
New logins, training and admin, on top of your ATS and CRM.
Matches, not conversations
A ranked list isn't a shortlist. Someone still has to reach people and find out who's interested.
Different incentives
Most software is sold per seat or platform license. Visage is paid per role and judged on interviews and hires.
Sourcing Software vs. Visage: Side by Side
Categories, not vendors.
| Comparison | Sourcing and rediscovery software | Visage |
|---|---|---|
| What you buy | Seats or a platform license | Sourcing work for each role |
| Who does the work | Your recruiters | Visage, calibrated with your team |
| What reaches your recruiters | Matches to review and contact | People who replied yes, in your ATS |
| Your talent pools | Searched by your recruiters, if the tool connects to your ATS | Searched by Visage before the market (Talent Rediscovery, early access) |
| Pricing | Per seat or platform license | All-in price per role, quoted up front, plus an annual access fee |
| When demand drops | Licenses usually run for the full term | Search volume follows hiring demand; an annual access fee applies |
| What changes for recruiters | A new tool to learn and log in to | Nothing new to log in to; candidates arrive in your ATS |
| How success is measured | Usage, matches surfaced, time saved | Interviews and hires, agreed up front |
Where Visage Fits
Where Visage fits: most rediscovery is software; Visage does the work
Two-by-two chart. Horizontal axis: who does the work, from your recruiters running software to a service doing the work. Vertical axis: who gets searched, from one source to your talent pools and the market. Top left: sourcing and rediscovery software, run by your recruiters, priced per seat or platform license. Bottom left: AI features in your ATS or HCM, licensed with your platform. Bottom right: agencies, which search the market, typically about 20% of salary per hire. Top right: RPO programs, typically a monthly retainer, and Visage, which works your talent pools first and then the market, delivers only people who said yes into your ATS, at an all-in price per role agreed up front.
Categories, not vendors. Agencies and RPO programs also do the work for you. Visage covers your talent pools and the market, prices each role up front, and delivers only people who said yes.
When Software Is the Better Fit
If your team has dedicated sourcers with time to run searches and outreach every day, a sourcing tool may be all you need. Visage is built for the roles that your team and its tools don't fill, and for teams that would rather buy the work than staff it.
