Prism

What is Prism?

Prism is a recruiting and candidate screening service that helps teams move from initial applications to qualified talent leads faster. It screens your applicants and sources candidates from both its own network and the network you provide.

The core purpose of Prism is to reduce time spent on candidates who are less likely to fit, so users can focus on candidates that matter.

Key Features

• Applicant screening: Prism screens applicants you submit, helping you narrow the pool to candidates more likely to be relevant.
• Candidate sourcing from multiple networks: Prism sources candidates from its own network as well as your network.
• Qualified talent leads: The output of screening and sourcing is presented as “qualified talent leads” intended to speed up your recruiting workflow.
• Faster candidate selection: By filtering and surfacing higher-signal candidates, Prism helps reduce time spent reviewing less relevant applications.

How to Use Prism

1. Share your applicants and the recruiting context you want to screen against.
2. Provide or indicate the network you want Prism to draw from (in addition to Prism’s own network).
3. Prism screens the incoming pool and sources candidates, returning qualified talent leads for follow-up.

Use Cases

• Screening incoming applications: A recruiting team can route applicants to Prism to filter down to candidates that are more likely to fit.
• Augmenting sourcing when pipelines are slow: When you need additional candidates quickly, Prism can source from both its network and yours.
• Reducing review time for hiring managers: Instead of reviewing every applicant, teams can focus follow-up conversations on leads that have already been screened.
• Supporting high-volume hiring: When many applications arrive, applicant screening and lead qualification can help keep the process moving.
• Coordinating candidate outreach: After Prism surfaces qualified leads, teams can proceed with outreach and next steps using their existing recruiting process.

Alternatives

• In-house applicant screening and sourcing: Hiring teams can manage screening and sourcing themselves using internal recruiters and standard review processes; this typically requires more time and coordination.
• Recruiting agencies or staffing firms: These providers also supply screened candidates, but the workflow and coverage can differ depending on the agency’s specialization and how sourcing is managed.
• Candidate databases and outreach tools: Tools that support sourcing and outreach can help you build pipelines directly, but they may not perform the same screening step described by Prism.
• Applicant tracking systems (ATS) with custom screening workflows: An ATS can help structure and manage candidate review, though it may require your team to do the screening work rather than outsourcing it to a screening service.
