What will it take to become a more savvy sourcer?

🗣️ Words from our TA community...

        Maisha's content and tips are always practical and something I can actually use! As opposed to a shiny tool that only applies to the most niche searches. She always has lots of organizational and productivity tips that make sourcing easier.

        Maisha delivered a great presentation. Super engaging and the team learned a lot and had a good time with it. I know a lot of people are sick of Zoom meetings by now, but that was by far the best one I've been to.

Sourcer by trade. Connector by chance. Optimist by choice.

In 2013, I made the daring leap from full-cycle G&A recruiting to the world of technical sourcing. I quickly discovered that this high-volume sourcing field came with its own unique set of challenges that demanded a new skill set.


To truly excel in technical sourcing, I realized it was about more than just having the right tools at my disposal; it required mental resilience, determination, and a well-crafted strategy.


As I navigated this uncharted territory, I began to document my experiences—what worked, what didn't, and all the nuances in-between. In pursuit of mastery, I sought out wisdom from industry giants like Shally Steckerl, Carmen Hudson, and Glen Cathey. By adapting and honing their techniques, I boosted my sourced hires from 4 per year to 4 per quarter.


This is the course I wish I had access to when I started sourcing. It is not a quick fix. It is a methodical roadmap to equip you to maximize your sourcing potential.


Now, it's your turn to stand out in talent sourcing. Let's build a vibrant community that works collaboratively to refine our skills and revolutionize the way we uncover exceptional talent.
