Automatic Company Discovery

Most sourcing tools make you do the research and job boards give you almost no targeting ability.

You sign up, you fill out your details… and then you’re left manually hunting for competitors, “similar” companies, and places your ideal candidates might be working today.

With TurboSource, we wanted to flip that around.

Now, when you complete your Company Profile, TurboSource automatically does the hard part for you: we discover and score 100+ relevant companies to target with your Smart Job Posts™. It's job advertising meets sourcing.

No extra clicks. No separate workflow. Just better targeting, built in.

What's Changed

Previously, our company discovery focused on a narrow slice of the market:

Before:

• We would typically find around 7 direct competitors for targeting.

That was helpful—but not enough. Great candidates don’t only sit inside obvious competitors. They’re spread across adjacent industries, feeder companies, and “talent magnets” your team might not even know about yet.

So we expanded the model.

Now:

1. We use 10 distinct company categories, including:

• Direct Competitor

• Feeder Company

• Talent Magnet

• Industry Peer

• And More…

2. We automatically discover 100+ high-relevancy companies across these categories.

3. We then score each company for relevancy, so your Smart Job Posts™ prioritize the best targets first.

Instead of staring at a blank field thinking, “Who else should we target?”, you’re starting with a rich, prioritized map of where your next hires are most likely to be.

How It Works (In Plain English)

1. You complete your Company Profile

   You tell us who you are, what you do, your location, etc.
   
   

2. Our engine runs automatic company discovery

   Behind the scenes, we use your profile to identify companies that:

   • Hire similar roles

   • Serve similar customers

   • Compete with you directly or indirectly

   • Have teams and tech stacks that match your needs
     
     

3. We categorize and score every company

   Each company is assigned to one or more of our 10 categories and then scored based on how relevant it is to your company.
   
   

4. Your Smart Job Posts™ use that map to find people

   When you launch a campaign, TurboSource uses this company universe to discover real people in those organizations and invite them to apply.

You stay focused on defining the role and reviewing applicants. We handle the targeting.

Why It Matters

1. Better company targeting → better candidate pools

If you start with a smarter list of companies, you end up with a stronger, more relevant set of candidates. Instead of relying on job boards or spraying generic job ads, you’re going straight to the places where high-fit talent actually works.

2. Less manual research → faster time to launch

No more hours spent clicking through LinkedIn, trying to guess competitors, or rebuilding the same company lists for every new role. Complete your Company Profile once and let TurboSource do the rest.

3. More signal, less noise

By scoring and grouping companies, your campaigns stay focused on quality over volume. You get:

• Fewer totally off-target profiles

• More applicants you actually want to hire

• A cleaner, more honest process for both you and the candidates
