Discover Top Talent with Expert Sourcing

OnHires' sourcing service covers the full top-of-funnel hiring process: market mapping, targeted outreach to active and passive candidates, initial screening against your role requirements, and delivery of a structured shortlist. Rather than receiving a bulk CV dump, you get a curated pipeline of pre-qualified profiles with sourcing notes, including candidates who are not actively applying but are open to the right opportunity. The service is customised per role, so sourcing for a senior ML engineer looks different from sourcing for a FinTech product manager.

OnHires typically delivers the first shortlist within two weeks of brief alignment. The actual timeline depends on role seniority, location constraints, and how competitive the talent market is for that specialism. For hard-to-fill roles in AI, Web3, or distributed infrastructure, we run parallel sourcing tracks across multiple regions to maintain speed without sacrificing candidate quality. Companies that have used our sourcing service for time-sensitive hires, including TradePort's NFT infrastructure team, have reported 52% faster hiring compared to running the search internally.

Niche roles are where sourcing via OnHires delivers the most value relative to job boards and inbound applications. Our sourcing team works across AI and machine learning, blockchain and Web3, cloud infrastructure, FinTech engineering, data science, and senior product disciplines, markets where qualified candidates are rarely active on job boards and must be identified and approached directly. We combine structured Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, community-level sourcing, and referral channels to reach candidates who are not findable through standard postings.

OnHires sources across a wide range of tech and business roles: software engineers, data scientists, product managers, UX/UI designers, DevOps and infrastructure specialists, sales and marketing professionals, and operations leads. The service works across seniority levels, from individual contributors to senior specialists and team leads. For C-level and VP searches we operate through our dedicated executive search offering, but sourcing covers the majority of mid-to-senior hiring needs for fast-growing tech companies across SaaS, AI, Web3, FinTech, and e-commerce.

Every candidate in a sourcing shortlist goes through an initial qualification layer before reaching you. This includes verifying that the candidate's experience matches the role requirements, confirming interest and availability, checking salary expectations against the role's budget range, and assessing any stated constraints around location, remote preference, or notice period. Profiles presented to clients include sourcing context, not just a CV, so your hiring team can make faster, better-informed decisions at the interview stage without spending time filtering out mismatches.
