Announcing Candidate Sourcing Feature

Sourcing Shouldn’t Take Thirteen Hours. With HireCade, It Takes Thirty Seconds.

If you’re a recruiter, you know the pain. Long hours spent combing through candidate profiles, refining search strings, cross-referencing spreadsheets, and crafting outreach messages that might never get a reply. According to multiple recruitment studies, it takes an average of thirteen hours to source candidates for just one role. That’s nearly two full working days dedicated solely to finding potential hires, before you even begin screening or interviewing them.

Even more concerning? A recent survey revealed that 45% of recruitment leaders spend more than half of their working hours on repetitive, administrative tasks like sourcing. These are hours that could be better spent on strategy, meaningful conversations, and actual hiring decisions. Instead, recruiters are stuck in a loop of busywork.

It’s clear: talent sourcing is broken.

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Sourcing

Let’s break it down. The traditional sourcing process often includes:

• Navigating multiple platforms (LinkedIn, job boards, internal ATS)
• Building and tweaking Boolean strings
• Filtering unqualified applicants
• Cold outreach with low response rates
• Manually scheduling follow-ups

Each of these steps seems small in isolation, but together, they consume valuable recruiter bandwidth. Worse, this manual effort often leads to fatigue and burnout, reducing recruiter effectiveness over time.

And in today’s hiring landscape, where speed and candidate experience are paramount, inefficiencies in sourcing can cost top talent.

The World Has Changed. Hiring Tools Should Too.

The way we work has evolved. So has the way top talent expects to be found and hired. Yet sourcing tools haven’t kept pace. Traditional ATS platforms and resume databases still rely on outdated filters and rigid workflows. AI has revolutionized everything from marketing to healthcare, so why hasn’t it transformed how we source talent?

That’s where HireCade comes in.
