Why targeted sourcing

Some roles need active search, not another public vacancy.

Public listings work for broad hiring demand. Targeted sourcing is for narrow candidate pools, specialist experience, confidential replacement searches, language requirements, and roles where the strongest candidates may not be actively applying.

01

Targeted search brief

Define the role, vertical, markets, languages, seniority, compensation, location, and must-have experience before the search begins.

02

Active candidate search

Search beyond inbound applications across relevant operators, providers, professional networks, locations, and adjacent talent pools.

03

Relevant shortlist

Receive candidates selected against the actual brief, with clear context on why each profile may fit the role.

Search coverage

Roles commonly handled through targeted sourcing.

The search is shaped around the real requirement: vertical, product, market, language, systems, location, seniority, and operating responsibility.

Retention & VIP

Search for retention, VIP, customer success, and account-management people with the right customer segment, language, and product background.

Support & Operations

Source support, onboarding, QA, call-center, and operations people familiar with the required workflow, shift model, systems, and customer environment.

Affiliate & Traffic

Find affiliate managers, media buyers, lead-generation specialists, and traffic partners with relevant channels, geographies, and operating experience.

Payments & Risk

Search for PSP sales, merchant onboarding, payment operations, fraud, chargeback, risk, and compliance profiles with direct sector experience.

Tech & Product

Source technical and product people against the actual stack, platform, integration scope, deployment responsibility, and vertical experience.

Sourcing process

A focused route from search brief to shortlist.

Each search starts with a defined requirement and ends with a relevant shortlist and reviewed introductions.

01

Define the search

Set the role outcome, vertical, markets, languages, seniority, compensation, location, reporting line, and essential experience.

02

Identify the candidate market

Map the relevant companies, professional networks, locations, language groups, adjacent sectors, and realistic talent pools.

03

Build the shortlist

Review profiles against the agreed brief and retain only candidates with a clear reason to fit the role.

04

Arrange introductions

Move to direct contact when the employer and candidate understand the opportunity, expectations, and privacy boundaries.

When to use it

Targeted sourcing is for roles that are difficult, narrow, or confidential.

It is useful when suitable candidates are not responding to public listings, when the required background is highly specific, or when the employer does not want to expose the search broadly.

InVault can narrow the search around vertical experience, target market, language, location, product knowledge, systems, seniority, and the actual responsibility of the role.

01

Hard-to-find experience

The role requires a specific vertical, product, market, language, technical stack, or commercial background.

02

Confidential search

The employer needs to replace, expand, or restructure a role without publishing sensitive company details.

03

Narrow requirements

Only a limited number of candidates are likely to match the location, compensation, seniority, and operating context.

What you receive

A relevant shortlist, not a pile of unrelated CVs.

Every search is tied to the agreed role, vertical, market, language, seniority, location, compensation, and experience requirements.
