As the SourceCon Grandmaster Sourcing Challenge winner for 2011, I wanted to share some best practices. This is a deck that I recently utilized at TalentNet (Chicago) and TalentWorks (Miami). After recruiting for more than 20 years and being both a headhunter and corporate recruiter, sourcing is the key that has helped me win awards like Corporate Recruiter of the Year, Pacesetter as a headhunter (MRI) and and this year with SourceCon. Many are just adapting basic tips and tricks avaiolable to all recruiters. You will not see a lot on Boolean logic or search terms since that is more specific. This deck is to be intended to help you up your game. Unless you are a direct competitior of mine, we are all in the recruiting game to help people and fill roles. What a great job! Adopt this tricks, adapt them in a way that work for you and then become more Adept at them than me or anyone else. Just let me know if these work for you or if you have success with a new spin @jimschnyder on Twitter. I occasionally also send out new tips so feel free to follow me too.
