In this practical lab, watch master sourcer José Kadlec as he demonstrates the end-to-end sourcing process for a technical IT role, so that you can easily apply the techniques and the Talent Sourcing Checklist to your future sourcing assignments. This will pull all of your sourcing techniques together to see them in practice across one requisition.
While expensive market research reports can provide insights on the talent landscape, they're often too generalised to give you and your fellow Hiring Team a realistic picture of the demand and supply of talent for the role you're hiring today. You can use your sourcing skills not just to find talent, but to uncover data and insights about the talent landscape. In this mission, Jose will show you effective techniques for mapping talent using live data.
