How online sourcing works

Online sourcing
Web 2.0 / online sourcing


The key to successful sourcing in social networks is to follow the etiquette. This means being conscious of other’s time, preparing well and providing facts and solid arguments. In the last few years we have evolved our approach continuously. For example, we noticed that using sophisticated electronic search mechanisms is much less effective than scanning more CVs quickly by experienced sourcing professionals.
Therefore, we follow the following steps in online / web 2.0 sourcing:
Initial definition of profile, including creation of hand-out materials
Key words are derived from profile (and list is extended during search)
Target companies are defined (and list is extended during the search)
Key-word search in XING, linked-in and other social networks
Manual quick scan of hundreds, even thousands of CV documents (as too narrow
   key-word searches sort out too many candidates)
"Quick turn around" loop with customer with five best profiles after 2-3 days,
   mostly without knowing yet if candidates are interested. Nevertheless, this
   discussion improves quality of the search, speeds up by avoiding wrong profiles
   and takes only a few minutes – thus even reducing the usual time to discuss a
   profile
Contacting of suitable candidates
Get response from candidates
Explain and sell job to candidates
Select interested and suitable
Conduct screening interview via phone or skype video
Create recommendation to client on suitable and interested candidates
Handover of candidate to client
Optionally, we can also execute in-house-recruiter tasks like scheduling interviews
   and liaising with candiates. This reduces the capacity of a DIRECT SOURCING recruiter
   to about 6-7 positions in parallel.
 

How employee referral polling works

Employee Refferal Polling
Employee referral polling

The key to successful referral polling is to select the right target group, ideally the top talent and management of your organization. As these people are very dedicated they are highly motivated to contribute to the recruiting. Typically they just don’t take the time to fill a tedious referral form. Therefore, calling them and making the referral as easy and convenient as possible is the solution.
Therefore, we follow the following steps in employee referral polling:
Initial definition of profile, including creation of hand-out materials
Identification of top talents and managers who should be "polled" for providing
   referrals
Information to referrers on the program
Contacting of the referrers via phone, explaining the program and asking for
   referrals. Typically 2-4 calls per referrer are required to get an optimized response
   rate
The time required for referrers is minimal, what is important is to create a positive
   conversation as most people are willing to help but just usually do not take the
   time
When polling employees it is not necessary to pay a referral fee to employees
Talent knows talent and attracts talent
Check with referrers if they want to contact the candidate, or if we do it, using
   their name or not
Contacting of suitable candidates (us or referrer)
Get response from candidates (us or referrer)
Explain and sell job to candidates (us or referrer)
Select interested and suitable
Conduct screening interview via phone or skype video
Create recommendation to client on suitable and interested candidates
Handover of candidate to client
Optionally, we can also execute in-house-recruiter tasks like scheduling interviews
   and liaising with candiates. This reduces the capacity of a DIRECT SOURCING recruiter
   to about 6-7 positions in parallel.
