7. 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.
“Sourcing is finding passive candidates based on online
information” – @JimStroud
Balazs Paroczay - Sourcing is nothing else, again, from a customer perspective, than
generating a slate of qualified, interested and available high-potential candidates.
Sourcing is Selling! – @socialtalent
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.
