12:01pmMaureen Sharib Hello everyone and welcome to the MagicMethod phone sourcing class! I thought today we'd talk about novel sourcing approaches- I see several of you have shown up - what novel approaches do YOU use?
12:03pmIrene Livingston I'm new to telephone sourcing some looking for some tips
12:03pmMaureen Sharib What's your background? I'd advice you to read back through the sixty or so phone sourcing chat logs we've accumulated here on the site since we started doing this back in April...There's alot of information in those...
12:04pmTom Cook Maureen - how are you defining novel?
12:05pmMaureen Sharib Different. Out of the norm. Imaginative - outrageous even – whatever works for you.
12:05pmIrene Livingston Recruiting for 10 years; but sporadic use of phone sourcing
12:06pmLeo Mc Kiernan I think you may need to differentiate between name sourcing and applicant sourcing as in full-cycle recruiting
12:06pmMaureen Sharib Okay, Leo, continue...
12:07pmMaureen Sharib Irene - why do you want to go into phone sourcing now?
12:07pmTom Cook I don't know that I really do anything novel. I spend a few minutes internet sourcing before I begin phone sourcing.
12:07pmTim Todd hi everyone, sorry I'm late
12:07pmMaureen Sharib Novel approach:
12:07pmRecruiting Animal Timmy!
12:07pmBeth I'm finding that novel is the act of actually picking up the phone to begin with.
12:07pmTom Cook I believe it is always useful to have name(s) in before making that first call
