The Real Cost of Waiting to Be Found

Job posts only reach people who happen to be looking, at the exact moment you're
advertising. Everyone else — including your best-fit candidate — never sees it.

Posting & Praying

Limited to who's looking

Your ad only reaches active job seekers scrolling that day.

Perfect-timing problem

The right candidate has to see it, want it, and apply — all at once.

Invisible talent

Qualified people who aren't actively searching never even know you're hiring.

Reactive hiring

You only see who applies, never who's actually the best fit out there.

Invite to Apply

A pool you've never tapped

Access a large, active pool of qualified profiles beyond your own applicants.

Turns hiring on its head

Instead of waiting to be found, you see best-fit candidates upfront, and invite them first.

Reach the not-yet-looking

Invite strong candidates who never saw your ad and weren't searching.

Ranked shortlists

The best matches from that pool, scored and ready to review.

From Untapped Talent
to a Ready-to-Invite Shortlist

1

Set What "Qualified" Looks Like for Your Roles

How It Works:

  • Select the open roles to be matched with qualified candidates from the talent pool
  • Choose the criteria that matter most for each role you are hiring for — SmartMatch score, schedule availability match, distance/location fit, prior experience, industry background and more.

Impact

You define the match — not a generic job board algorithm.

The Network Is Searched
— Not Just Your Applicants

How It Works:

  • StaffedUp scans its full vast network of candidate profiles, including people who’ve never applied to you or seen your listing, and ranks them against your open roles – and your criteria for each role.
  • You get best-fit candidates to review, sorted by the criteria you care about.

Impact

Access candidates a job post could never reach on its own.

Review & Invite the Best
Candidates With One Click

How It Works:

  • Browse your curated shortlist and pick the candidates you want
  • Send invitations to apply with one click — personalized or default messaging

Impact

You stay the decision-maker. The network just handed you people you'd never have found.

Everything above works great with you in the driver's seat. But if you'd rather not review
shortlists at all, the AI Recruiting Assistant removes the manual review step entirely.

5

Configure Once, Let It Run

How It Works:

  • Set the roles you want covered and the criteria that define a great match — the same inputs (availability, distance, experience, industry background and more) you’d use manually.
  • Set up a campaign to source candidates for the selected roles – for how many days, how many candidates to source and invite per day, or let it run continuously until you stop it.

Impact

Full control over what "automated" means for your business, before you ever turn it on.

It Searches the Pool and Invites the Best Matches Automatically

How It Works:

  • No more manual review. The Assistant continuously searches the candidate network, ranks the best matches, and invites them daily — adjusting as candidate activity changes — until you turn it off or your campaign ends.

Impact

New candidates you've never seen keep entering your pipeline, even when you're not looking.

  • What is the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)?

    WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) is a federal tax credit available to business employers, both large and small. The credits are designed to offset Federal income tax liabilities. When the WOTC program is executed the right way, employers can capture enough tax credits to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, their Federal income tax liabilities. (And if your business was formed using a flow-through-entity, like a S-corp or LLC, then the credits could flow-through to the owner’s K-1).

  • How can WOTC impact my business?

    Executing the WOTC program is simple and easy with the right provider. We’ll screen your applicants to determine if they satisfy one of nine qualifying criteria. If so, our team of tax credit experts work with specific government agencies, behind the scenes, to capture the tax credits for you. Once captured, tax credits can be used to eliminate Federal income tax liabilities and thus improve cash flow for stakeholders and the business.

  • DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?

    Duh! We built this for you, because we are you! Your success in hiring is the only thing we care about. Anything you need, any time, we're always here, we'll always listen!
