Yo!

Hey.
Hi.
Hello!
What’s up Fam’?

Jim Stroud here.

My second week as your SourceCon Editor has me extremely busy with no end in sight and I am lovin’ it. (Not ashamed to say that.) Because I have been moving at ludicrous speed, I’m paranoid that I have not communicated everything to you that I previously intended to. So, let me take a breath, pause, and become one with the source as I share what’s going on.

AI Showcase

This week it was announced that we are adding to the SourceCon conference an AI showcase. We did a really cool video explaining what that is about. If you missed it on our social media, click here or on the video above.

The Circle

Did you know that we have our own online community, separate from social media? Its called “The Circle” and has exclusive content not found anywhere else. For example, I started a series there called “Sourcing Secrets You Should Know.” In the first post of the series, I talked about how to source hidden talent from patent lawsuits and in the second one, I shared how to source the best of the best talent. I’m thinking about what’s coming next in the series, so stay tuned for that. (Any and all ideas welcome.)

For those who were thinking, we have a what? When did that happen? Let me show you what’s been hiding in plain sight.

Yup! Clicking the community link is your ticket in. Go figure. About a thousand or so people have ventured in and have become inactive. I’m trying to change that. Join me?

Sourcers Anonymous

We received our first article submission from the community this week and it is being evaluated. It is one of what I hope to be many articles in the near future. In case you missed it, 4 peer-reviewed articles on the SourceCon blog gets you 100% off your SourceCon ticket. Click here for more details or, click here if you want the same details spoken to you from a video (with an added sourcing tip). Up to you.
