Sourcing Evolution: From Recruiter to Sourcing Talent Manager

I was recently on a great webinar by Jobvite entitled: “The Art & Science of Sourcing: A Virtual Round Table“. One of the discussion points was focused on the role of the recruiter versus a dedicated sourcing consultant and/or researcher.  With a number of different perspective there were some great take away lessons. The sourcing gurus and contributors on the webinar were: André Boulais (Lead Sourcing Strategist - Global Recruiting at Exact Target); John Keuhn (Critical Talent Associate at Devon Energy); Brad Cook (VP Global Talent Acquisition at Informatica); Will Giese (Team Development/Staffing at Flipboard); and (one of my favs!) - Larry Hernandez (Sourcing Guru at Zappos Family of Companies).

How to Improve Your Recruitment Power on Pinterest

Pinterest turns three this month, and oh baby, has it come a long way from its humble beginnings as just a virtual pinboard!

Some fast facts:

  • An increased number of men use the site – 32% men to 68% women as opposed to 92% women initially.
  • More traffic than LinkedIn and Google+ combined per month.
