MAGNIT PULSE™
Magnit Pulse: Workforce Management, Delivered Where Work Happens.
Magnit Pulse delivers contingent workforce management directly inside the collaboration tools hiring managers use every day — all without a VMS login. No separate system. No training. No friction.
Why Magnit Pulse?
The VMS Workflow Capabilities Managers Need, Without the Friction of Separate Systems.
Hiring managers are the most important participants in a contingent workforce program; and historically the hardest to engage. Most log into a VMS only when they have to, and every delayed approval or unreviewed candidate slows your program down. Magnit Pulse closes that gap by meeting managers where they already work, so your program functions at full capacity across the entire business.
Faster Time-to-Fill
Approvals, candidate reviews, and requisition creation happen in the tools managers already use — cutting the delays that extend hiring cycles and leave positions open.
Faster Time-to-Fill
Broader Program Participation
No VMS login. No training. Disengaged managers start engaging — and adoption expands without a change management initiative.
Broader Program Participation
Built-In Compliance
Every action is governed by the same approval hierarchies, policy rules, and compliance thresholds already configured in your VMS. A new channel, not a new ruleset.
Built-In Compliance
Zero Disruption, Rapid Deployment
Go-live within a week with no changes to your existing VMS environment. Program specialists keep working exactly as they do today.

What Can Pulse Do for Me?
Five Powerful Capabilities. One Conversational Experience.
Magnit Pulse is powered by five core capabilities that work together to bring the full contingent workforce lifecycle — from requisition to approval to program insight — into the flow of everyday work.
01 - CONVERSATIONAL REQUISITION MANAGEMENT
The Fastest and Easiest Req Creation on the Planet
Hiring managers can create, clone, and submit requisitions through a guided chat experience — with intelligence applied automatically along the way.
- Guided Conversational Workflow
Start with a simple message; Magnit Pulse gathers details conversationally and offers intelligent defaults. - Faster Req Creation with Clone Suggestions
Similar existing requisitions are identified and offered as starting points, dramatically reducing setup time. - Real-time Market & Compliance Intelligence
Rate benchmarks, compliance checks, and risk flags are applied before submission — not discovered later in the approval process.
02 - CANDIDATE INTELLIGENCE & INTERVIEW WORKFLOWS
Hiring Decisions at Your Fingertips
AI-generated candidate summaries and structured interview feedback surface directly in your existing collaboration tools — so decisions happen without navigating back into the VMS.
- AI Candidate Summaries
Each submission arrives with an AI-generated profile summary, relevant experience, and match confidence. - Structured Interview Feedback
Feedback from all interviewers is aggregated into key strengths, concerns, and a hiring recommendation. - Take Action Directly in your Apps
Review candidates side-by-side, leave feedback, request more information, or advance and decline — without ever having to interrupt your workflow to log into a VMS.
03 - PROGRAM & SPEND INTELLIGENCE
All of Your Workforce Questions Answered
Program owners and finance leaders query headcount, spend, and workforce activity in plain language — and receive immediate, data-driven answers.
- Plain-language Queries
“Are any of my teams trending over their Q3 contractor budget?” gets an instant, prioritized answer — no pre-built reports required. - Proactive Spend & Headcount Alerts
Feedback from all interviewers is aggregated into key strengths, concerns, and a hiring recommendation. - Visibility at Every Level
Department heads, finance leaders, and program owners get the intelligence they need at the moment decisions are being made.
04 - EMBEDDED APPROVALS
One-Click Approvals
All VMS approval types delivered directly in your existing workflow as rich Adaptive Cards — full context, one-click action, no login required.
- Complete Approval Coverage
Billing timecards, expense reports, headcount, extension, and financial requisitions, project billing, and batch billing — all actioned in your chat and collaboration tools. - Full Context
Assignment details, rate information, and policy flags surface with every approval — plus inline rejection with reason capture. - Enterprise-grade Safeguards
Have confidence knowing Pulse follows your organization's predefined VMS approval and compliance parameters.
05 - PROACTIVE WORKFORCE NOTIFICATIONS
Stay Ahead of Every Critical Event
Automated alerts reach hiring managers and department leaders before issues develop — no dashboard check required.
- Interview Reminders
24-hour and 1-hour reminders arrive with candidate details and conference links. - Engagement Milestone Alerts
7-day and 1-day start and end alerts give leaders time to plan extensions or transitions before deadlines surprise them. - Candidate & Compliance Alerts
Instant candidate submission notifications and survey deadline reminders keep decisions — and obligations — in motion.

Magnit Pulse FAQs
How much does Magnit Pulse cost?
Magnit Pulse is offered as an annual subscription with tiers based on the capabilities your organization needs and the size of your hiring manager population. Contact us for pricing tailored to your program.
How quickly can Magnit Pulse be deployed, and what does IT need to do?
Deployment requires only Azure Active Directory SSO configuration and Teams tenant registration — no VPN, no custom client software, and no changes to your VMS environment. Approval types, notification preferences, and delegation rules are configured at the client level without engineering involvement. Most programs are live within a week.
Does Magnit Pulse require changes to my existing VMS configuration?
No. Magnit Pulse connects directly to your existing VMS implementation with no changes to program configuration, data structure, or workflows — there is nothing to re-implement and no data to migrate. Program specialists who prefer the VMS can continue working in it exactly as they do today; Magnit Pulse is an additional channel, not a replacement.
What platforms does Magnit Pulse support?
Magnit Pulse is available today for Magnit VMS clients via Microsoft Teams and via API for private app integrations. Additional platform integrations are currently under development and will be released in the coming months.
Who is Magnit Pulse designed for?
Magnit Pulse serves the full range of stakeholders in a contingent workforce program — not just the specialists who operate the VMS daily. Hiring managers create requisitions, review candidates, and approve timesheets from within Teams or their designated enterprise application. Department heads and finance leaders gain spend and headcount visibility through a simple conversational interface. And program owners gain broader stakeholder participation and faster turnaround across their programs.
What is Magnit Pulse?

It covers the full day-to-day hiring manager and program owner workflow — from creating a requisition, through candidate review and decision, to approvals, notifications, and ongoing program visibility — all without a VMS login.
