From Manual to Modern: How One Staffing Firm Transformed Sourcing with Nebula
Recruiting for hard-to-fill roles is no small task—especially when you’re an independently run staffing firm juggling multiple industries, clients, and systems. That’s exactly where one national staffing company found itself: struggling to consistently source high-quality candidates, bogged down by manual outreach, and hampered by disjointed tools.
Enter Nebula—an AI-powered sourcing and engagement platform that helped this recruiter go from reactive to proactive hiring in a matter of weeks.
The Challenge: Too Many Tools, Too Little Efficiency
The firm’s challenges were common—but costly:
Limited candidate quality: Finding qualified candidates for niche, high-demand roles took hours of manual searching.
Inefficient outreach: Without automated sequencing, follow-ups were inconsistent, lowering candidate engagement.
Lack of integration: Juggling between job boards, CRMs, and outreach tools slowed productivity and reduced transparency.
In evaluating alternatives like SourceWhale and Loxo, the firm needed a solution that could consolidate sourcing, automation, and communication—all in one place.
Why Nebula Was the Right Fit
After a side-by-side comparison, the firm committed to a two-year contract with Nebula, citing its power, simplicity, and measurable ROI. The platform provided exactly what the firm needed:

The firm phased out previous job board subscriptions

"I’ve transformed the way I source and engage candidates. The intelligent search and automated sequencing have saved hours and let me focus on building real connections and making quality placements."
