Finding the Best Candidates with One Click

The sourcing stage of the recruiting cycle is probably the most demanding forlarge corporations in terms of time:

• Time must be spent selecting the media to be used.





• Time must be spent in preparing a job posting request for the mediaselected and sending it.





• Time must be spent in finding out which of the selected media worked welland which didn’t work in order to refine a more efficient sourcingstrategy for the future.

All these repetitive steps must be accomplished for each job posting arecruiter places.

One click sourcing, an integrated feature of Recruitsoft’sRecruiter WebTop™, provides recruiters with access to all sourcing tools at asingle click. All the sourcing steps — from the actual posting of jobs todefining the best sourcing strategy — can be performed quickly and easily.

To find the talent they need, recruiters turn to newspapers, tradeassociations, campus recruiting, job fairs, third-party recruiters, temporaryplacement agencies, Internet job boards, as well as employee referrals, andtheir corporate Internet and Intranet sites.

Among these, employee referrals rank high because they often deliverwell-matched, quality candidates quickly. However, with unemployment at recordlows, company recruiters have to diversify their means of sourcing to snare thetalent they need.

The growth in importance of the Internet as a recruitment channel issignificant. Web-based job boards (electronic classifieds) have proliferated andare an increasingly key choice of recruiting media. In addition, a growingnumber of companies are building their own corporate database in which a largebank of candidates, drawn from many sources, is stored.

The continued growth of the Internet has added more sourcing options, and thetight employment market is forcing recruiters to utilize multi-facetedrecruiting strategies. Different job positions, individual industries andspecific locations can call for the use of very different mixtures of sources toeffectively recruit. Recruiters must have an intelligent tool to help them meetthe challenges of this multiple sourcing management.

Job postings must be sent to a large number of media. Time must be spent inpreparing this media selection. The need to target the best sourcing channels isimperative. The challenge is also to learn and monitor effectiveness.
