Talent sourcing is the operation that finds potential talent. This happens right at the beginning of the hiring process. It focuses on researching, exploring and finding talent, creating networks through doing this. This process is done together, to create the finest candidate pipeline. This can be from anything from attending job fairs to focusing on people in the industry who aren’t looking for a job; passive talent.
Once this talent is sourced you can then find potential candidates to review CVs and interview. This sourcing can take place both through traditional methods or now, using online. Both are successful and have different strengths. Which one you choose will depend on your organisation, its needs and culture.
