Advanced Sourcing: Talent Mapping & Candidate Networks
Affinity and Network Graph Mapping
A method for visualizing and analyzing how candidates, referrals, and organizations connect so you can find hidden referral paths and passive talent clusters.
"I need to know who connects to my ideal hires before I reach out — not just names, but how information and trust actually flow."
Affinity and Network Graph Mapping uses nodes (people/companies) and edges (relationships/interactions) to reveal clusters, bridges, and referral pathways; it surfaces who can introduce you to passive candidates and which influencers hold hiring power.
