How it works
The operational anatomy of a TaaSFlow hire.
Not a marketing overview — the actual mechanics. Blueprint, sourcing map, evidence review, ranking, workspace delivery, and who owns what. If you're evaluating us seriously, this is the page.

01 · Blueprint
The intake becomes an approved blueprint.
Your intake is not filed away — it becomes the scoring rubric, the search plan, and the screening spec. Weights and deal-breakers are approved before we source a single candidate.
- Weighted rubric — not a wishlist
- Must-haves, nice-to-haves, and deal-breakers made explicit
- Search plan reviewed with you before launch

02 · Sourcing
22 channels. One rubric. No side-doors.
LinkedIn, sponsored ads, university partnerships, email marketing, web-scale intent scanning, billboards, radio, cold calling, job boards, communities, staffing partners, executive recruiters, inbound applications — every source feeds the same evidence-first scoring bar.
- Digital, direct, AI-driven, inbound, offline — five families of channels working in parallel per role
- AI intent scanning surfaces high-intent passive candidates other tools never see
- Named-target outreach + a 20,000-strong talent network + silver-medalist rehydration
- Universities, staffing partners, referrals, events, PR, radio and OOH when a role warrants it
- Whatever the channel — LinkedIn or a billboard — the candidate is scored on the same rubric
03 · Evidence review
Every score has a quote. Every quote has a source.
Before publication, a recruiter reads each CV against the rubric and attaches evidence quotes to every requirement. If a requirement can't be evidenced, the candidate is not published.
- Recruiter-approved before it reaches your workspace
- Match / partial / gap called honestly per requirement
- Fit narrative written by a human, not a template
