Our sourcing expertise.

Paired Sourcing helps you find and engage the people your next hire could be. Here's how we work with your team, from defining the search to handing off candidate conversations.

01 / ALIGN

Start with the role
and the reality.

We begin by understanding what you need and what makes the search challenging.

Together, we clarify the role, the must-haves, the compensation range, and what would make someone consider the opportunity. We also look at what you've already tried, so we can build on it.

Before outreach begins, we agree on the search priorities and how we'll share candidates and feedback with your team.

02 / MAP

Map the market.
Focus the search.

We research relevant companies, backgrounds, and talent communities to identify people worth approaching.

We share early profiles to check that we're on the right track. Your feedback helps us refine the search before we go deeper.

You get: a clearer picture of the talent market and a focused direction for the search.

03 / ENGAGE

Start the conversations.

Finding someone's profile is the beginning.

We reach out to relevant passive candidates with thoughtful, personal messaging about your opportunity. We follow up, learn what resonates, and adjust as responses come in.

AI-enhanced tools help us research and move faster. Human judgment guides who we approach and how we approach them.

You get: an actively developed candidate pipeline, with context about outreach and responses.

04 / CONNECT

Connect interested candidates with your team.

When a candidate expresses interest in exploring the opportunity, we coordinate the handoff to your designated recruiting contact.

We share the candidate's background, why we approached them, and relevant information from the conversation. Together, we establish where those details belong and who owns the next step.

Your team takes the lead on interviews, assessment, offers, and hiring decisions. We stay aligned on feedback so the sourcing work reflects what you're learning.

An interested candidate is a starting point for your hiring process. It isn't a promise of fit or a guaranteed hire.

05 / REFINE

Use what the market tells us.

Throughout the engagement, we share what we're learning: which backgrounds are available, what attracts interest, and where people hesitate.

That feedback can help your team refine the target profile, messaging, or opportunity itself.

You get: market intelligence, a candidate pipeline, and practical feedback to guide your next recruiting decisions.
