Phone and Internet sourcing techniques have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years as evolving technology, creativity and better metrics have resulted in best practices. But volume remains high. How can a corporate staffing or small third-party search firm operate like the top players? By implementing the techniques to be shown in this unique, competitive format.
Three of the world's top recruiting researchers will show how sourcing can be done efficiently and effectively, using three very different types of job requisitions supplied by AOEP members. Each presenter will share, demonstrating live, online, in real time, different methods they would each use to find relevant active and passive prospects without using commercial resume databases, at low or no cost. The audience is welcome to chime in with tough requisitions / candidate pipeline needs of their own.
