The World’s Greatest Sourcer Challenge is off to a running start and we’re halfway through, so we spoke with The Sourcing Institute’s Shally Steckerl to learn what he’s using to amplify his sourcing strategies.
Check them out.
Putting together information on a candidate with multiple professional profiles? Use the copy-to-note feature to highlight text, right-click and save the text to Notes – no need to switch between your browser and word processor. Find a candidate you want to quickly bookmark? Opera allows you to save URL, date, and any selected text, and sync these bookmarks across all devices. Shally’s favorite feature? Editing URLs to customize search results. Right-click inside any search box, click “create search”, and assign a keyword to use while searching from address bar – all of which also works with your Google CSEs, ATS, and job boards.
Keeping track of appointments is one of sourcers’ biggest challenges, and it’s easy to overlook emails about meetings with dozens of candidates. Try these tools for managing multiple calendars and scheduling events.
Connect your iCal, Outlook, Google, and Office 365 calendars all on one platform, and view and propose available meeting times based on others’ calendars.
YCNM touts a shareable booking grid feature that allows others to schedule time on your calendar based on your availability. Time slots are automatically added to Google Calendar and updated in real time.
Give candidates the ability to choose their own time for meeting with the team and you can gauge how interested they are in your opportunity. Recruiting coordinators can be more efficient with their time, eliminating the unnecessary back-and-forth to solve the unknown, “So when are you free?”
