The Source mission is to support existing talent teams that are overwhelmed with vacancies to recruit across APAC. We want to make sure our clients get even more out of the existing talent teams they have at the moment by increasing interview quality whilst saving them time & money .

-
Speed: All interview requests will be made to candidate within an hour of them being made
-
Transparency: Your Interview Token credit will only be debited after the interview is completed
What do you mean by a minimum 75% submission match
Sourceo uses an algorithm to control the quality of CVs that we submit to your platform. Our recruiters are not able to submit candidates that are less than a 75% match to your ideal candidate profile.
What if I don’t have enough time to upload my vacancy to the Sourceo platform?
No problem. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager is there to do your onboarding on your behalf if you don’t have the time. Simply ask them for a short meeting so that we can get going
How do you make sure candidates are prepared for my interview?
When you upload the requirements for your vacancies, we ask you to provide the top 3 questions you or your hiring manager will ask the candidate at interview. These questions will be put to the candidate for preparation in their ‘prep session’ 48 hours before their interview.
How long will it take until I receive CVs?
This varies job to job, and business to business. Whilst we can’t give a specific time frame, we aim to submit the first Sourceo shortlist to you within 2-5 working days of your JD’s upload to the Sourceo platform. If we don’t think we will meet this target, your Customer Success Manager will reach out to you explaining why.
How many CVs will Sourceo send me?
This will vary depending on the size of the interested & available candidate profile for your role. Sourceo only provides you with CVs that are at least a 75% match for your role, meaning that we will only be submitting ‘the top’ CVs for your role. The number of CVs will depend on how specific your requirements are, the geography you’re recruiting in and the package you offer.
Can I arrange the interviews myself?
No. Interview arrangement is a core component of the value Sourceo provide. Once an initial introduction is made in an interview, we then pass candidate contact back to you to manage.

Your Source Interview Tokens will remain in your Sourceo platform until they are used. Even if a subscription is canceled, your tokens will stand for usage without you having to pay further monthly subscription fees.
I have some vacancies that are more urgent than others. How can Sourceo help here?
The Sourceo platform gives you a ‘Boost’ option for 3 JDs a month.
What is the Sourceo JD Booster?
When a JD is boosted it means that sourcing, screening and interview arrangement for that role will be prioritised over others. We encourage you to boost jobs so we can work smarter when it comes to allocating more resources to your vacancies.
