◆ SDVOBE CertifiedDirect sourcing

Bring back the people who already know your business.

We build your own talent pool of alumni, retirees, past contractors, silver-medalist candidates, and referrals, then run it and fill roles from it for you. The people you choose are onboarded, employed, and paid through our Employer of Record, without a staffing markup.

Who runs your pool

A dedicated sourcer and a steady cadence.

A talent pool only works if someone owns it. Yours gets a Talent Pool Lead on our team who keeps it current, plus the same Program Manager who runs the rest of your program with us.

Owns the pool

Talent Pool Lead

A dedicated sourcer who builds the pool, keeps in touch with the people in it, and presents pool candidates to your hiring managers before a requisition goes to suppliers. Typically 7 to 10 years in sourcing or recruiting, matched to your industry.

Every quarter

Pool refresh

We re-verify availability, update rates and skills, and retire people who have moved on. You get a quarterly pool report: who is ready now, who is ready in 90 days, and what roles the pool can realistically fill.

What to expect

Pool-first fills

In programs where the pool is established, a meaningful share of requisitions fill from the pool before suppliers see them, at a lower all-in cost and with faster onboarding, because the person has worked for you before. We report the pool fill rate monthly, so the number is on the record.

Why direct sourcing

Your best candidates are often already in your network.

Former employees, retirees, and contractors who did great work are faster to onboard and more likely to succeed. Direct sourcing turns those relationships into a talent pool you own, and pairs it with the compliance and payroll of a traditional provider.
