Did you come into sourcing thinking you’d just be on the computer all day? No way! Not gonna happen. I get a lot of people who think sourcing is for them because they’re not into selling, closing, or for all intents and purposes, conversation. But you need to talk to your people. And by people I mean your recruiting team, hiring managers, clients, candidates, and potential candidates. I’ve been in sourcing jobs with complete access to all of the players, as well as jobs with limited access. One company I worked for only wanted me to talk to the recruiters, but the hiring managers played a critical part of the intake process.
