Best-in-class skills for a Sourcer
What did you look for in that person?
What skills do your clients expect of you, or value most of you?
I'm looking for a list of best-in-class skills or competencies in a sourcer. What makes the best sourcer? Go beyond the internet search skills. Although ones ability to deep mine and find passive candidate names is tremendously valuable, I would argue that this skill is becoming almost automated. Let's talk softskills combined with those very important i… Continue

It’s a brand new week and so far I haven’t found anything to replace the cool chat platform we had before ning changed things up on us. We’re not the only ones suffering – they’re complaining about it too over on RBC and, I hear, on many networks. Maybe ning will (soon)come to their sen… Continue

"LinkedIn Connections" on Hoovers?
I just noticed on my Hoovers account when I do a company look-up there's now a "LinkedIn Connections" box (coincidentally is non-copyable) that links you to employee profiles (that I am "connected" with) at the company being researched. Is this new? What is it? Some kind of partnership… Continue

Dartboard Sourcing
ERE has been so kind to post one of my how-to's: Many sourcing expeditions are doomed to failure because the sourcer “assumes” they have found what the customer wants. The fact is, in these instances, the sourcer hasn’t asked enough questions of the customer on the front end… Continue

John Sumser Says Sourcing Is Almost Dead!
