Candidate Sourcing

Candidate Sourcing Overview

Many companies looking to increase the productivity of their recruiters turn to recruitment sourcing companies. Simply put, sourcing is the critical first step in the recruiting process by which highly targeted candidates are identified.

 

While recruiting is very much a numbers game, it is also about maximizing efficiency. Each phone call made and each email sent to an unqualified candidate is time wasted. This, in turn, introduces inefficiencies into your organization.

 

Highly specialized recruiters who handle the initial procurement candidates are called sourcers. It’s quite common for medium-to-large size companies and specialty staffing firms to employ teams of sourcing professionals.
