Sourcers Anonymous!

Thank you SourceCon Community for all of your content contributions! Your peer reviewed articles are taking the SourceCon blog from good to great. Kudos to the latest inductee into the SourceCon Anonymous growing hall of fame - Taylor Fulton.

So, when will you submit your article? There is still time to score a ticket to SourceCon. Time is running out. Just sayin’…

Don’t Call it a Comeback! (SourceCon Academy has been here for years.)

How many of you are aware of SourceCon Academy? We’ve been training sourcers on how to hunt purple squirrels since 2017 so, I’ll wager most of you are aware of it. However, for the few who do not know what it is - its awesome! Okay, so maybe you need more info than that. I get it. Here you go.

SourceCon Academy is the most comprehensive online sourcing training available. With over 22 hours of video based lessons and 50+ sourcing topics, the course teaches recruiters and sourcers search techniques, advanced sourcing methodologies, and candidate engagement strategies.

I’ve seen all the training at SourceCon Academy, and quite recently, I’ve updated several training modules personally, so (in all modesty) I can vouch for the value this training holds.

If you are a novice or a newbie, I guarantee there are lessons therein that can take your sourcing to the next level. And to prove that even further, check out our latest offering - Recruiting with AI! Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside…

  • Recruiting with AI offers an in-depth exploration of the most recent advances in AI technology.

  • Master AI fundamentals by gaining a solid foundation in large language models like ChatGPT, and learning image generation models such as Midjourney and Leonardo.

  • Target ideal candidates and boost response rates by writing compelling job descriptions boosted by AI.

  • Craft insightful and targeted interview questions by leveraging AI tools that support the interview process and candidate experience.

All good, but I imagine that there are a skeptical few who think its all hype and that we could not possibly deliver on all these promises. If that’s you, simply read the testimonials of customers who were more than satisfied. And if you want even more proof on how amazing our training is, see below.

Fresh Content

Not sure if you noticed but, I switched up the video content this past week. Instead one episode of “The Source,” I made 5 episodes of a new series - SourceCon Shorts. Each one is about 1-minute long and shares a sourcing tip. Its a little something to get you in the mood for the conference. Watch them all and please like, comment, share and subscribe to our YouTube channel. Enjoy!
