This page explains how recruitment and staffing teams use talent sourcing data supplied by 66Degrees to identify and approach candidates proactively before roles become live or before candidates enter active job search. Talent sourcing data provides verified candidate contact information that supports passive sourcing, pipeline building, and strategic talent pooling.
Talent sourcing data for recruitment and staffing teams is intelligence designed specifically for proactive candidate identification before formal recruitment processes begin. Unlike reactive recruitment that depends on job board applications or referrals, talent sourcing data enables teams to build relationships with passive candidates who are employed and not actively seeking new roles.
Recruitment agencies use talent sourcing data for permanent recruitment, executive search, and retained assignments where the strongest candidates are passive and employed. Staffing agencies use talent sourcing data to build contractor pools before high-volume requests arrive and to identify specialized temporary workers with scarce skills.
Talent sourcing data is built around your role, skill, and location criteria, then verified and delivered for immediate sourcing campaigns.
Many passive candidate databases rely on outdated scrapes or unverified contact information that produces high bounce rates and damages recruiter reputation. 66Degrees focuses on data quality features that make talent sourcing data trustworthy.
Emails are verified for deliverability and matched to individual candidate identities, reducing bounce rates and protecting reputation when approaching passive candidates.
Current employer information is verified to ensure candidates are genuinely employed at stated organizations, improving targeting accuracy for passive sourcing.
Company data helps recruiters personalize outreach to passive candidates by referencing their current organization, improving response rates.
For executive search and senior hiring, optional mobile numbers enable direct communication with passive candidates.
Pricing is project-based and depends on volume, geography, and skills/seniority criteria. Request pricing for a fast, scoped quote.
