Sourcing Secrets from Jim Schnyder (SourceCon Sourcing Grandmaster 2011)

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

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.

Sit, Source, Remind

My simple technique to save you time

Sit, Source, Remind

Take large exported clipboard Excel file from LinkedIn (leverage ReferYes) and work with HRM or hiring manager to share clipboard names with HiPo’s who are Alumni of certain companies.

Schedule a meeting with the HiPo employee

• Sit – with them• Source – who do you know that would be a

fit?– Typical answer is “do not know anyone

looking”• Remind – show them the list from LinkedIn

– Rate Candidates – Red, Yellow, GreenAnother option is to do the Sit, Source, Remind technique using the HiPo’s Linkedin contacts/friends list…

Using Video & QR Codes

QR Codes = Quick Response Codes

Video and QR Codes

Ways to leverage the videos

Good example:

QR Codes

• A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

• ScanLife

QR Code Readers

• RedLaser • i-nigma

• Situation - Imagine you are at a career fair with a long line of people waiting to speak to you…..

• Problem - Having to educate people on the company and the job over and over again.

• Solution:• Paper with a QR Code that drives them to the website• Info on the job• Apply online• Video• Talent Community or enter name for drawing

Why? - Career Fair example

QR Codes are emerging……

Some uses for QR Codes
