Sourcing
Hands-on workshop — two half-days
Upcoming dates:
- May 5 & 12, 2026
- September 8 & 15, 2026
Designed for recruiters who want to sharpen their search and sourcing strategies and improve how they engage passive candidates.
Objectives:
- Search faster and more effectively (method + structure + automation)
- Expand and prioritize talent pools
- Increase response rates with better-targeted messages (multichannel outreach + follow-ups)
- Use AI in a practical, responsible way at every step: intake, search, analysis, messaging, follow-up
Throughout the workshop, AI runs through every step:
- Clarifying the intake (questions, criteria, signals to verify)
- Generating and optimizing search queries (keywords, Boolean strings, synonyms, alternative job titles)
- Speeding up exploration (AI agents, AI browsers, summaries, extracting insights)
- Structuring follow-up (tags, simple scoring, reminders, personalization)
- Staying in control: verification, bias, confidentiality, decision traceability
