Enhanced Employer Brand

Scalable Flexibility

Why Your Talent Pipeline Is Falling Short

Roles staying open for months, especially for competitive or niche positions, delaying projects and growth.

Internal recruitment teams overwhelmed by high requisition volumes, leading to slower hiring.

Agency fees eating into budgets without guaranteeing better candidates or cultural fit.

Hidden talent markets remaining untapped due to lack of time, tools, or market-specific reach.

Hiring Roadblock:

Shortlists, Not CV Piles

Receive a targeted selection of candidates already screened for skills and fit.

Tap Into Hidden Talent Markets

Our targeted sourcing uncovers passive, niche talent in markets your ads never reach.

Fully Embedded & On-Brand

Every candidate interaction reflects your brand, culture, and voice.

Scalable by Design

Ramp resources up for hiring surges and scale back down just as smoothly.

FAQ

  • Talent Sourcing focuses on proactively identifying, engaging, and qualifying candidates - often passive talent - to build a pipeline of pre-screened, interview-ready professionals. End-to-end recruitment includes subsequent stages like interviews, offers, and onboarding. With Serendi, you retain full control over final hiring decisions while we accelerate the process with high-quality shortlists tailored to your requirements.

  • Unlike agencies that operate on a per-placement fee structure and focus solely on filling roles quickly, our embedded model provides a dedicated sourcing partner who works exclusively under your brand. We prioritize quality, cultural alignment, and cost efficiency - delivering pre-qualified shortlists at a significantly lower cost and without conflicts of interest.

  • For most roles, we deliver the first interview-ready shortlist within two weeks of kickoff. Timelines may vary for highly specialized, leadership, or multi-country roles. You’ll receive weekly pipeline reports to track progress in real time.

  • Absolutely. Our team conducts localized searches and outreach in the native language of each market, whether in Germany, France, Spain, or in Asia or America. This tailored approach helps us engage passive talent effectively and access niche candidate pools often missed by generic solutions.

  • Yes. We seamlessly work within your Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or provide shared trackers for full transparency. This ensures you maintain visibility and ownership of all candidate data while we handle sourcing and initial screening.

  • No. All outreach is conducted under your brand – typically using your email domain, messaging, and tone - so the candidate experience remains seamless and authentically aligned with your company’s voice. If required, we can also conduct confidential searches under Serendi’s name to fully protect your anonymity.

  • We provide flexible options: pilot projects for specific roles, project-based sourcing for time-critical hiring waves, or ongoing embedded sourcing support. You can easily scale resourcing up or down based on demand.
