Find the candidates who never apply.
For hard-to-fill profiles, nobody comes to you anymore. This training teaches your recruiters to go out and find them — and to actually get the right people on the phone.

- The client ends up filling the role through another agency
What the Sourcing training delivers for your agency
More placements
Fill the scarce profiles too
Where other agencies wait for applicants, your recruiters go out and search. So you fill exactly the assignments others leave behind.
Faster placements
A shortlist within days
No more weeks of waiting for responses to a job ad: find and approach candidates directly. Lead time per assignment goes down.
Higher margin
Stronger at the table on fees and rates
An agency that demonstrably delivers on hard-to-fill profiles doesn't have to compete on price. You see it in fees and rates.
More client loyalty
The client comes back
The agency that does fill the difficult assignments becomes the first choice. The next request comes back to you.
One Team Track training pays for itself with a third of one permanent placement, less than one extra temp or a sixth of one secondment. See the calculation →
The content, tailored to your vacancies
Your recruiters follow the theory online, at their own pace. Then we translate it to your own assignments and clients: 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 client meeting with market knowledge
- Ask the questions you need to search effectively later: job titles, expertise, certificates
- Agree with the client, per requirement, what is a must and what is a nice-to-have
- Judge whether the assignment is feasible — and raise it during the meeting
The result
A search brief agreed with the client, and an honest view upfront of whether the assignment is feasible. No more wasted search hours.
02 Widening the talent poolFind more candidates without short-changing the client
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 client
- Know when to stop widening
- Sell a broader search to the client with numbers and real example profiles
The result
Enough candidates to choose from, even for scarce profiles — and a client 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 clients increasingly ask about
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 pay, competition and the market
The result
More replies and more conversations with candidates who aren't actively looking — the candidates your competitors don't have.
