Supporting trends leading to sourcing
§ (online) availibility of information – From people – About people – High quality information
§ Technology & functionality – Search – Structured data – Processing power
§ Mismatch availibility / demand – Over-availibility & unemployment – Scarcity in certain ares (IT, Technology,…) – New skills & functions
Sourcing promises
§ Manageable & predictible – 0 or 400 applications? – Reduce (process) waste (resources, time, money) – Reduce disappointments of candidates
§ Better quality hires – Bigger pool: Active (20%) + passive jobseekers (80%) – Hire the best Candidate, not the best applicant – Research leads to better understanding, creativity & serendipity
§ It’s more fun – More creativity, diversity, innovation, … – It’s MY match
Sourcing downside
§ Unrealistic search: – The purple squirrel does not exist – Not everyone can be / want’s to be found – Biased search
§ High expectations – from hiring organization – from sourced candidate
§ Sourcing is a (new) skill – Not everyone is capable of sourcing – Not everyone likes to source
