Candidate Sourcing

GLR can:

• Work with you to build a cost-effective, high quality sourcing strategy that will provide you candidates before you need them.
• Help you find the best sources for candidates through our research capability.
• Teach your recruiters how to source more effectively.
• Help put together a better employee referral program
• Work with you to create or improve your current web site.
• Partner with your internal PR or advertising staff or with an agency, if you use one, to ensure you success in finding and converting passive candidates into active ones and in deciding quickly about active candidates.

Most recruiters spend too much time recruiting and not enough time sourcing or building relationships with candidates.

Common sourcing techniques often result in the flood of resumes we mention above with only a few candidates meeting our quality standards.

Job boards generally produce poor quality candidates and cost more than they deliver in value. Print advertising has limited application for most positions, and also costs more than it can deliver. Radio is fine for certain kinds of markets and positions, but isn't a widely used media for most recruiting.

The most effective source of candidates has always been referrals. These can be from current employees of from professional colleagues or friends. And, your own recruiting website is also one of the best ways to find people with an interest in your products and services and who are likely to be interested in working for your organization.
