There's a certain mystique about sourcers that is similar to oz in the story the wizard of oz. OZ was this mysterious figure that knew all. Sourcers have this way of finding candidates that is definitely OZ like. Sourcers have great research skills and are able to grasp the perspective of a candidate like no one else I've ever seen.
The ability to find candidates and put yourself in the mind of the candidate is the work I'm focused on today. Simply put, I along with a team of folks are tasked with proposing a sourcing model for the organization.
To do this, we've started by identifying the premise or focus of work (it's the what we want a potential sourcing team to do). We're also looking at resources we have in place to help accomplish some of this work.
This is step 1 of our journey. Although we're at the beginning stages, we have a solid foundation to begin meaningful conversations about our potential body of work.
My plan is to use this site to document our progress to create a "how to" for organizations looking to create internal sourcing teams.
