What the Sourcing training delivers for your team

Better quality of hire

Choosing from the best candidates

Recruiters who search themselves don't depend on whoever happens to apply. They put forward the candidates who really fit, even for scarce profiles.

Shorter time to hire

A shortlist within days

No more weeks of waiting for responses to a job ad: find and approach candidates directly. Time to hire per vacancy goes down.

Satisfied hiring managers

The difficult vacancies filled too

A hiring manager who sees your team fill exactly the hard-to-find profiles trusts that the vacancy is in good hands with recruitment.

Better candidate experience

An approach that feels right

A personal message through the right channel, with a reason why this candidate in particular is being approached. Even those who say no are left with a good impression of your organisation.

Lower cost per hire

Lower cost per hire

Searching your own database and network needs less advertising budget and fewer vacancies that have to be reopened. You see it in the cost per hire.

Every vacancy filled faster and right first time saves money straight away: less lost productivity, less overtime in the team and less replacement hiring. About the investment →

What we cover

The content, tailored to your vacancies

Your recruiters follow the theory online, at their own pace. Then we translate it to your own vacancies and hiring managers: in a workshop with the team, or in a personal coaching session.

01 The sourcing intakeGet clear on who you're looking for, before you start searching

What your recruiters learn

  • Prepare with the help of AI, so they go into the meeting with the hiring manager with market knowledge
  • Ask the questions you need to search effectively later: job titles, expertise, certificates
  • Agree with the hiring manager, per requirement, what is a must and what is a nice-to-have
  • Judge whether the vacancy is feasible — and raise it during the meeting

The result

A search brief agreed with the hiring manager, and an honest view upfront of whether the vacancy is feasible. No more wasted search hours.

02 Widening the talent poolFind more candidates without short-changing the hiring manager

What your recruiters learn

  • Widen the search step by step when there are too few candidates: other job titles, longer commutes, related roles or industries
  • See what each step costs — and who pays: the recruiter, the candidate or the hiring manager
  • Know when to stop widening
  • Make the case for a broader search to the hiring manager with numbers and real example profiles

The result

Enough candidates to choose from, even for scarce profiles — and a hiring manager who goes along because the proposal is well-founded.

03 Choosing the right channelsSpend search time where candidates actually are

What your recruiters learn

  • The five ways to find candidates: your own database, CV databases, platforms like LinkedIn, the open web and offline networks
  • Estimate per target group where candidates are, how active they are and how likely they are to respond
  • Divide search time based on that estimate instead of habit
  • Recognise when no channel works — and what to do then

The result

Search time spent on the channels where candidates actually are, instead of a little bit everywhere.

04 Finding candidatesFrom search plan to a list of real names

What your recruiters learn

  • Have AI draft a search string (boolean) and check and improve it themselves
  • Search each channel the way that works there, from your own database to LinkedIn
  • Measure how many usable candidates a search produces, and adjust
  • Work within data protection rules (GDPR) — something your organisation pays increasing attention to

The result

A list of suitable candidates in a short time, found in a way the recruiter repeats for every next vacancy.

05 Approaching candidatesTurning names into conversations

What your recruiters learn

  • Write a message that a candidate who isn't looking still responds to
  • Choose the right channel and medium per candidate: LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, a voice note or simply a call
  • Follow up in a fixed sequence instead of a single message
  • Automate searching and sending smartly, without losing the personal touch
  • Make use of a no as well: what it tells you about salary, other employers and the market

The result

More replies and more conversations with candidates who aren't actively looking — the candidates other employers don't reach.

Two ways

With the whole team, or per recruiter

Team Track

The whole team stronger, together

A good fit if

  • Your team has four or more recruiters
  • You want the whole team to work the same way
  • Recruiters learn from each other's real vacancies and hiring managers
  • Knowledge stays in the team, even when someone leaves
