Candidate Sourcing

Candidate sourcing is the proactive process of identifying, attracting, and engaging potential job candidates before they've applied for a role. Recruiters use databases, job boards, social media, referrals, and networking to build a pool of qualified prospects, rather than waiting for applications to come in. Effective sourcing reduces time-to-hire and gives organizations consistent access to top talent for both current openings and future hiring needs.
