How long have you been in the recruiting industry?

9 years

What do you think sourcing brings to the recruiting process?

Responsiveness, unique & passive candidates, credibility, competitive advantage

Do you think one type of sourcing produces better results than another? Which and why?

Telephone - Internet sourcing though vast, is in fact finite and results are available to anyone who can technically perform those searches. Telephone sourcing is limited only by your own resolve and resourcefulness & once mastered will provide those unique & valuable prospects below the internet radar.

Quick and Dirty - if you had six hours to source 50 Process Engineers in the chem/energy/food/pharma industry what would you do?

If you had a week?

Wait until 6 days and 18 hours have passed and see above...

Who are the thought leaders in name sourcing?
