Enhance Your Sourcing Workflow with these Nine Snippets

Talent Sourcers are an essential member of today’s modern Talent Acquisition team.

While some aspects of the roles of Sourcer and Recruiter may overlap, typically Sourcers convert leads into candidates. Recruiters, on the other hand, convert candidates into hires.

We are excited to present this Public Group of snippets designed with hard-working Sourcers in mind.

Engaging

After identifying talented professionals, Sourcers must create engaging messages that will move the prospect into action.

Commonly used correspondence includes:

Request for availability with Calendly link

BONUS: We’ve compiled a list of 7 InMail templates to help you get started or get inspired.

Assessing

Once their outreach has captured the prospect’s attention, savvy sourcers must move into interviewer mode.

Using notes from the intake meeting, Sourcers assess the prospect’s skills before making a final recommendation to the recruiter and/or hiring manager.

Trusty templates to have on hand include:

Phone screening questions

Presentation of selected candidates to Hiring Manager

Handoff email from sourcer to recruiter
