Data sourcing in recruiting

Data sourcing in recruiting is the process of collecting the raw data of candidates. Recruitment is not as easy as it seems. It requires a lot of hard work, non-stop energy, and well-equipped communication skills. You have to constantly think outside the box to find, attract, and convert the right candidates. Sourcing without effective sourcing tools is meaningless. Through various job portals, recruiters look for the candidates they need. These tools not only make the work of a recruiter easier but also provide a great experience for candidates and attract the required industry talent.

The role of job portals and social media

Data sourcing involves posting the job description for vacancies existing in the company on various job portals like LinkedIn, Twitter, Indeed, career sites, job boards, Naukri.com, Freshers World, etc. Additionally, social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and business WhatsApp groups are proving to be a boon for recruiters to attract the right candidates. These job portals help recruiters minimize the lengthy process of searching for a candidate.
