Sourcing without LinkedIn

Sourcing without LinkedIn was recorded in two parts, approximately 2 hours per session:

• Lecture: Cultivating Novel Resources for Talent Discovery
• Workshop: Hands-on Exploration of Representative Sources

LinkedIn provides the biggest of big data for Talent professionals, but no single tool is right for every job. Professionals who do not work online - including many from the medical, construction, and transportation fields, to name a few - are under-represented on LinkedIn.

To find the right person for any role, we must learn to look outside traditional recruitment resources like LinkedIn, job boards, and your ATS.

"Cultivating Novel Resources for Talent Discovery" provides a framework and repeatable process for consistent success when hunting down hard-to-find talent wherever they might "live" online.

In the follow-on Workshop, expert sourcer David Galley fielded live requests from attendees and lead you through an exploration of representative data sources for any requirement. Submit your own requests via the "Get Support" link above and David will provide custom solutions as part of the online support package for this course.
