Sourcing is the modern approach to identifying passive candidates who are not actively searching for jobs on traditional job sites. By making contact with these individuals, recruiters can pique their interest in a vacancy, often resulting in highly qualified hires. Mastering sourcing in recruiting requires an understanding of various tools and techniques, which are covered extensively in our online course. Whether you’re an aspiring IT sourcer or looking to refine your skills in strategic sourcing, this course will provide the insights you need. Learn what it takes to succeed as a sourcer, from identifying and engaging sourcing candidates to understanding who a sourcer truly is.
