PeopleScout today announced that it is introducing its award-winning AffinixTM technology in Europe to help employers expedite and simplify the process of acquiring new talent. The power of Affinix will be showcased at PeopleScout’s exclusive Resourcing 2025 event the evening of 26 September at London’s world-renowned Science Museum.
Affinix brings leading-edge talent technology to Europe as part of PeopleScout’s commitment to delivering Next Generation Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). Designed in response to changes in candidate preferences, skills shortages and digital disruption, Affinix provides access to the latest tools in one platform for talent acquisition. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and other emerging technologies extend across Affinix, streamlining the sourcing, screening and candidate engagement process to identify the top talent more efficiently.
“We are excited to enable organizations in Europe to enhance their existing talent technology and propel their talent acquisition capabilities into the future with Affinix,” said PeopleScout President Taryn Owen. “Affinix creates a superior candidate experience that mimics the simplicity and usability of the best consumer websites and allows our clients to make faster connections with the best talent.”
Embedded within PeopleScout’s talent solutions, Affinix delivers speed and scalability while leveraging artificial intelligence, recruitment marketing, a mobile-first application process, virtual assessment and scheduling, machine learning, predictive analytics and other emerging technologies with easy one-point applicant tracking system (ATS) and vendor management system (VMS) integration. PeopleScout’s Affinix team is constantly evaluating the competitive talent technology landscape and evolving the company’s product roadmap to ensure that best-of-breed tools are available as part of the Affinix platform.
