Talent sourcing software that reaches the candidates who aren't looking yet.
The best candidates for your next role might not be on a job board. :Engage combines AI-powered talent sourcing tools with automated outreach to help you find, reach, and build relationships with passive talent.
300+ companies powered by our software
Your job ads only reach candidates who are already looking. The best person for your next role probably isn't.
Passive candidates – people who are employed, not actively searching, but open to the right opportunity – make up the majority of the talent market. Reaching them requires more than a job board ad. It takes the right tools to find them, the right message to engage them, and a system that keeps them warm until the timing is right.
AI-powered talent sourcing doesn’t replace the human side of recruitment – it gives your team the reach to find candidates that traditional advertising never would.
A reputation you can trust
AI-powered talent sourcing tools that find the candidates traditional advertising misses.
Search beyond your existing database
:Engage’s sourcing tools help you identify and reach candidates outside your current talent pool – people who match your criteria but haven’t applied yet. Cast a wider net without the manual effort of searching multiple platforms and managing outreach separately.
AI candidate discovery with Felix
Felix, Scout Talent’s AI assistant, accelerates sourcing by expanding the search to include relevant candidates faster and with greater precision. What used to take hours of boolean searching takes seconds.
Reach passive candidates at scale
Once you’ve identified the right candidates, :Engage makes automated talent sourcing straightforward. Send branded, hyper-personalised emails to sourced candidate lists directly from the platform – so you can build relationships with passive talent before a role even opens.
Feed sourced talent straight into your pools
Candidates you source don’t disappear after first contact. :Engage allows you to add them to the relevant talent pools so they’re tracked, nurtured, and ready to consider when the right role opens. Your sourcing effort compounds over time rather than starting fresh with every campaign.
How talent sourcing solutions
work with :Engage
Search
Use Felix and :Engage's sourcing tools to search for candidates who match your criteria - by role type, skills, location, or search radius - across your database and beyond.
Identify candidates
Review and shortlist the people worth reaching out to. Felix surfaces the strongest matches first so your team spends time on the right candidates, not sifting through results.
Start outreach
Send branded, personalised emails directly from :Engage - individually or in bulk. First contact is already done. Your pipeline starts before the role is even open.

What HR professionals ask before getting started
We already use LinkedIn Recruiter - why do we need this?
LinkedIn Recruiter is excellent for finding candidates you haven’t met yet. :Engage is built to work alongside it – and to activate the candidates you’ve already attracted but haven’t hired. Most organisations spend heavily on outbound sourcing while a database of pre-qualified past applicants sits idle. :Engage makes sure every sourcing effort, past and present, feeds into a pipeline you own permanently.
We don't have the bandwidth for proactive sourcing.
That’s exactly the problem :Engage solves. The AI-powered search and bulk outreach tools mean your team can identify and contact a targeted candidate list in a fraction of the time it would take manually. Sourcing at scale doesn’t require more headcount – it requires the right tools.
How quickly can we get up and running?
Most teams are up and running within two to six weeks, depending on your setup and the modules you choose. Your dedicated implementation specialist builds a plan around your existing workflows, manages the configuration, and supports your team through go-live. There’s no IT heavy-lifting on your end – just a clear process from day one.
Sourcing your own talent vs relying on job boards.
Organisations that build their own talent pipelines hire faster, spend less, and stay ahead of the competition.
Those that rely solely on job boards are always starting from scratch.
Every role you advertise is an opportunity to build a pipeline. Most organisations just aren’t capturing it.
Relying on job boards:
- New campaign required for every vacancy
- Competing with every other employer for the same active candidates
- Cost per hire climbs with each new ad
- No lasting asset when the campaign ends
- Passive talent – the majority of the market – stays out of reach
Sourcing your own talent with :Engage:
- Tap into a pipeline you’ve already built
- Reach passive candidates before your competitors do
- Lower cost per hire as your database compounds over time
- Every sourcing effort adds to an owned, permanent asset
- Niche and hard-to-fill roles get filled faster with targeted pools
Talent sourcing works best when it connects to the rest of your hiring.
Felix is built into the same platform as your job board distribution, applicant tracking, and candidate screening tools. Write your job description, post to every board, manage every applicant, and screen for the best candidates – all without leaving :Recruit.
