Our agenda for today

Strategic Talent Acquisition

How sourcing is different today?

Definition of sourcing?

Glen Cathey - The proactive identification, engagement and assessment of talent

focusing solely on non-applicants (typically passive talent) with the end goal of producing qualified, interested and available candidates.

Balazs Paroczay - Sourcing is nothing else, again, from a customer perspective, than generating a slate of qualified, interested and available high-potential candidates.

Irina Shamaeva - It’s a fact that many Sourcers engage candidates on the phone

before passing the information on. I’d say many Sourcers recruit as part of their job.

“Sourcing is finding passive candidates based on online information” – @JimStroud

We expect more companies to create sourcing teams.

“The biggest focus this year is to create a new sourcing team to build pipelines for our hard to fill roles,” wrote one respondent.”

Another employer wrote of placing an “emphasis on the sourcing of our hires in 2014 with identified full-time sourcers in the identified markets.”
