Talent Sourcing

Human Resources and People Operations

Talent sourcing is the specific practice of proactively searching for and identifying potential job candidates, often passive ones not actively applying, using tools like LinkedIn, Boolean search, and professional networks. It is typically the first stage of the broader recruitment process, performed by sourcers or recruiters before outreach and screening begin. Strong sourcing skills involve creative search techniques and the ability to engage candidates who aren't actively job hunting.
