2024 in Review: State of Sourcing
Being able to find candidates for hard to hire roles - typically 'sourcing' them from the Internet - has been the backbone of the recruiter skills matrix since the early 2000's. There are thousands of people in industry who consider themselves to be 'sourcers' first rather than 'recruiters'. Yet with the rise of GenAI, sourcing products have dramatically increased their capability, such that many more people are now able to do what once only a few specialists were able to do. Where are we with sourcing and what does the future look like for this function?
