In the war for top talent, it's important to create an effective talent strategy. And it doesn’t start with recruitment.

You need to proactively identify and attract top talent, so that when a position becomes available, you have developed a pipeline of qualified candidates. In this course, award-winning recruiter and trainer Barbara Bruno explains the meaning of talent sourcing and how to create and implement a winning sourcing strategy. She introduces basic and higher-level candidate sourcing techniques, explains how to identify resources with the best ROI, and explains how to use big data, social media, and tools like LinkedIn Recruiter in your sourcing efforts.
