Define Ideal Candidate Profiles

• Sourcing qualified candidates is essential for
  the success of any enterprise staffing and
  recruitment process. However, simply posting job
  advertisements and hoping the right people will
  apply is rarely an effective strategy for
  recruitment sourcing these days. To attract top
  talent in a competitive talent market, companies
  need to take a strategic approach to optimize
  their sourcing efforts. Here are some key tips
  for maximizing your recruitment results through
  smarter sourcing.

3
Leverage Existing Candidate Pools
Dont limit your search to external candidates
only. Analyze internal resume databases, previous
applicants and employee referrals to uncover
potential talent. Re-engage past candidates who
were a strong cultural match even if the timing
was previously off. Mining existing resources
helps fill roles faster and reduces cost-
per-hire. Just be sure to evaluate skills based
on current needs rather than past requirements.
4
Expand Your Talent Network

• Developing an expanded professional network
  throughout the industry provides access to
  passive candidates not actively job searching.
  Employees should be encouraged to build
  connections, attend conferences, engage industry
  peers on social networks and keep talent referral
  programs top of mind. This establishes ongoing
  recruitment sourcing channels versus one-off
  efforts when positions open.

5
Personalize Outreach and Relationship-Building
The most effective recruitment sourcing occurs
through personalized outreach, not just mass
blasts. Identify where niche talent congregates
online using social media groups, community
forums, professional networks and industry
publications. Directly engage with potential
candidates by highlighting opportunities well-
aligned to their skills versus a generic pitch.
Stay top of mind by sharing content throughout
ongoing community involvement.
6
Leverage Technology for Proactive Sourcing

• Technology enables proactive sourcing at scale to
  uncover candidates who may be open to new roles
  but arent actively looking. Recruitment
  marketing automation tools can identify talent
  based on ideal profiles and send targeted
  outreach.
• Powerful search algorithms also surface prospects
  through social networks and large databases
  beyond those in your existing network.

7
Optimize Job Listings for Searchability

• The language used in job postings significantly
  impacts visibility and searchability.
• Carefully tailor job titles and descriptions
  using targeted keywords and phrases candidates
  are likely searching for. Avoid too much
  company-specific jargon.
• Optimizing content boosts views of postings in
  applicant tracking systems, job boards, social
  networks and search engine results.

8
Monitor and Optimize Performance

• Constantly measure sourcing channel performance
  using metrics like cost per applicant, time to
  fill roles and candidate quality. Identify which
  sources generate the highest return on investment
  and double down on the most productive channels.
  Similarly, reduce time spent on consistently
  underperforming outreach that yields few viable
  prospects. Adjusting mix and volume based on data
  helps optimize overall sourcing success.

9
CONCLUSION
An optimized, metrics-driven approach to
recruitment sourcing takes it from a reactive
process to strategic function. Defining candidate
needs, expanding sources, personalizing outreach
and leveraging technology improves quality of
hire. By taking a targeted approach, enterprises
gain access to previously hidden talent pools
able to make immediate, measurable contributions.
The result is securing top talent efficiently and
effectively to meet critical staffing needs.
