Affinix Talent Suite vs Best-Selling Talent Platforms

AI enabled talent platforms like Paradox, Phenom, Eightfold, Sense and Humanly have taken off in recent years and their market is currently valued at $650 million worldwide with expectations to grow more than 10% annually. Customers large and small are drawn in by the AI powered chat/apply mechanisms, candidate screening and assessment functionality, as well as automations in interview scheduling and onboarding processes. Customer interest is for good reason too; these systems provide the means to streamline formerly analog recruitment processes and lend themselves to overall recruitment performance enhancements. However, if you’re waiting for the catch, there is one: these platforms all rely on customers already having a robust pipeline of candidates as they do not provide a candidate sourcing module or functionality.

Enter Affinix

Affinix is PeopleScout’s award winning, mobile-first, cloud-based platform that creates a consumer-like candidate experience and streamlines the recruiting process through intelligent automation. Affinix brings together candidate relationship management (CRM) systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digital marketing, predictive analytics, and digital interviewing, providing a seamless experience for candidates while rapidly supplying a qualified talent pool to recruiters and hiring leaders. Technology enhancements are brought to every stage of the process including an AI enabled direct sourcing module, candidate quick apply, automated text message screening, two-way text messaging, interview self-scheduling, video interviewing, and voice enabled AI candidate screening all in addition to an award winning and a fully customizable reporting suite, set to measure and analyze performance. Additionally, because Affinix is brought to market through PeopleScout, customers can add recruitment horsepower to their internal Talent Acquisition function via RPO services, should they be wanted or needed.

Weighing Platform Costs & Required Integrations

Should you elect to take the path of Paradox, Phenom or others like them, as well as decide to arm your team with a separate candidate sourcing tool such as HireEZ, SeekOut, Findem, or Fetcher, you will be faced with several challenges. These challenges include costs from multiple vendors as well as separate integration buildouts for each platform selected, with each integration also carrying its own separate cost.
