PowerToFly runs a recruitment platform focused on diversity, connecting underrepresented talent with employers who want inclusive workplaces. It targets women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other marginalized groups, offering remote job opportunities across many industries. How it works: partner companies pay subscription fees and recruitment services to access a large pool of qualified candidates, while job seekers can use the platform to find remote roles. The service also provides career coaching, webinars, and networking events to support professional growth. How it differs from competitors: a clear, organization-wide focus on diversity and inclusion, emphasis on remote roles, and bundled support services (coaching, webinars, events) that help both candidates and employers advance DEI goals. The goal: help build inclusive workplaces by connecting diverse talent with employers that commit to inclusive practices and by supporting ongoing career development.

Salvador, 05, Brazil Daytona Beach, FL, United States Phoenix, AZ, United States Get email updates from PowerToFly Feb 16, 2026 TL;DR: A candidate engagement platform helps your team attract, nurture, and convert talent through personalized, multi-channel communication at scale. Unlike a standard applicant tracking system (ATS), these platforms focus on building relationships with candidates before, during, and after they apply. In this guide, we'll break down what to look for in a candidate engagement platform, how to make it work for your team, and which platforms are worth exploring. We'll also cover the real cost of poor candidate engagement and practical strategies to keep top talent interested from first touch to signed offer. Hiring is tough right now. 69% percent of employers say they're struggling to find qualified candidates for open roles, and the competition for skilled talent (especially in tech and AI) keeps getting more intense. At the same time, candidates have more choices than ever and higher expectations for how they're treated during the hiring process. That's where a candidate engagement platform comes in. These tools help recruiting teams move beyond posting and praying, giving them a way to build real relationships with talent at every stage of the hiring funnel. And the data backs it up: companies that invest in candidate engagement see faster hires, better offer acceptance rates, and stronger employer brands. Feb 13, 2026 TL;DR: job postings alone won't build the pipeline you need. Most online applications have less than a 2% success rate, and 70% of talent isn't actively looking anyway. This guide covers 10 recruitment activities that help you engage candidates before you need them: virtual summits, employee spotlights, webinars, hackathons, talent newsletters, social media takeovers, ERG partnerships, university partnerships, open office hours, and networking events. When done well, these activities strengthen your employer brand, reduce time-to-hire, and keep your pipeline full of people who already know and trust your company. If you're still relying on job postings to fill your roles, you're fishing in a shrinking pond. According to HiringThing's 2025 data, most online applications result in just a 0.1% to 2% success rate. Meanwhile, candidates are submitting anywhere from 32 to 200+ applications before landing an offer. That's a lot of noise for everyone involved. The math gets worse when you consider who's actually seeing your postings. LinkedIn research shows that 70% of the global workforce are passive candidates, meaning they're not actively job hunting, but they'd consider the right opportunity. Only about 3.9% of U.S. workers are active job seekers at any given time. If your entire strategy is waiting for people to come to you, you're missing the vast majority of the talent pool. Feb 11, 2026 Join PowerToFly and From Day One in February 2026 for a half-day virtual conference exploring how organizations can build learning cultures that enable employees to upskill, reskill, and confidently adapt to evolving roles. At a time when the skills needed tomorrow are often unknown today, companies must build learning cultures that enable employees to upskill, reskill, and confidently adapt to evolving roles. As skill demands continue to shift, organizations are grappling with how to foster continuous learning and respond quickly to change. That's why PowerToFly is partnering with From Day One for a half-day virtual conference exploring how organizations can cultivate cultures of learning, identify effective tools and programs, and use approaches like personalized learning paths and micro-credentials to support skill development and career advancement.
