Scalable Sourcing System
Level-up sourcing productivity and transform your top-of-funnel
Removing the heavy lifting from sourcing so you can focus on what matters
Sourcing Challenges…
Time-Consuming
5-20 hours spent sourcing per job, trawling through pages upon pages of results.
Even after all this time, you get the nagging doubt that you’re missing out on quality candidates, leaving your shortlists lacking.
This also leaves you with less time to focus on high-value activities.
Frustrating
After hours of searching, you find the perfect candidate, only to discover that they’ve already been in process with two other companies.
You exhaust your network, ATS, and LinkedIn Recruiter. Then, it’s into another dreaded check-in meeting with the hiring manager, with no updates to provide them.
Scale is limited
You’re unable to increase your capacity because there’s a cap on how many jobs you can be sourcing at one time.
Not only that, you spend more time on particularly specialist or executive-level roles, limiting your capacity even further.
Typical solutions…
Sourcing Platforms
LinkedIn Recruiter licences aren’t getting any cheaper, so you invest in new sourcing tools. Ones that promise access to 'millions of new candidates’.
However, training for these tools is limited, and the results subsequently lacking. Leaving you feeling like you’ve thrown more money at the problem but are no further forward.
Outsourced Sourcing providers
You look at outsourced providers that can provide you with teams of sourcers to work on your jobs.
However, the results will be a roll of the dice without investing time to vet and train your assigned sourcers properly.
At best, you’ll have large data sets scraped from LinkedIn, but the accuracy will be limited. You invest more time in briefing the team on each search and training them.
Grow the team
While this might be your best option, it’s a big commitment.
Fluctuating hiring demand may mean you don’t have the budget or workload year-round to justify hiring more full-time employees.
Then there’s the additional time and money to find and onboard the right person. Add to this salary, benefits, equipment, and licences, and the costs can spiral.
Instead, level up your sourcing productivity and give your team the process to tackle any job that comes their way
Scalable Sourcing System
“The positive impact of these courses on our team has been significant. The gap in skill level between our less experienced and experienced team members has reduced dramatically. They have embraced new methods of searching and are utilising available technology more effectively. Our average speed to shortlist time has been halved, and by embracing complex searching techniques, the quality of our shortlists has also improved significantly.
Matthew's approach was consultative, ensuring that each module was specifically targeted towards our needs rather than an off-the-shelf approach. The feedback from all delegates has been incredibly positive, and we would highly recommend Matthew's training services to other organisations.”
