Hi All,
Few Strategies on Sourcing:
- For any requirement first thing you should do is Job posting in our job portals and career columns in your company website, from which you will get CVs of candidates who are really looking for change might help your conversion ratio.
- Formulate a specific Employee Referral Scheme for that requirement ( you should have different referral benefits for different requriements) and circulate to all employees
- You can post your jobs in yahoo, google groups
- Also in networking sites like: linkedin, orkut, facebook,bigadda..and more
- For niche requirements if you have skilled head hunters pls do make the most of it
- You can also share your requirement to consultants
- Send Mass mailers in job portals for specific search which may help reaching most candidates in one mailer ( active and inactive even you may get references)
- You may post an Ad/poster in specfic institution/ Training places/ evening colleges/ Parttime institutes
- You can also check in matrimonials columns in newspapers/ sites where people will mention their profession( this was a success for one our requirement a year back...may be helpful for other skills also)
- participate in Job fairs even if you dont have immediate requirements you may reach loads of candidates in one place and direct them to your career link
- You can also invite your old employees to join back while doing this activity you may ask for reference which may be potential candidates
- Reach alumni sites, groups...
You can think and find more ways like these and as we progress we might find even more innovative ways for sourcing
All the very best
