Active Sourcing Seminar - systematically finding qualified employees
Would you like to professionalize your recruiting process and invest in the future of your company? Then our Active Sourcing Seminar is exactly the right event for your HR managers.
Finding qualified employees for your company is more important today than ever before. The success of your company depends to a large extent on hiring motivated talent. No wonder such suitable candidates are highly courted in the labor market. This makes it increasingly difficult for companies to find suitable staff quickly and easily and to retain them. In times of a shortage of skilled workers and in view of the high competition from attractive employers, it is essential to think about personnel management in the long term and to build up a pool of qualified candidates. With Active Sourcing, you can create precisely this talent pool and continuously expand it with promising candidates.
In Kooku’s Active Sourcing seminar you will learn how to be successful with Active Sourcing, which requirements and Active Sourcing methods there are and which tools and networks you can access. We share our expertise and years of experience in the recruiting industry with you, and support you in establishing contacts with promising candidates for current and future vacancies and keeping them permanently.
What is Active Sourcing?
Active Sourcing – or Active Search Recruitment or Effective Sourcing – refers to a particularly sustainable process of personnel recruitment, which you can learn in our Active Sourcing Seminar. The primary aim is not to find candidates for acute vacancies, but to build up a pool of applicants that will benefit the company in the long term. Promising talents are actively sought and contacted, regardless of whether a specific position in the company actually needs to be filled. It is also about having a selection of interesting talents on hand who could be recruited in the long term. In contrast to passive recruitment, i.e., advertising a position and waiting for incoming applications from suitable candidates, the approach of active sourcing is very future-oriented. In other words, it involves the systematic development of a talent pool from which qualified candidates who fit the company can be recruited at any time. Sustainable personnel management is, in the foreground, guaranteed.
However, the proactive research, contacting and recruiting of potential employees also holds many pitfalls. After all, the attention of qualified candidates is not easy to obtain in today’s applicant market, and even more difficult to retain. The purpose of active sourcing is to retain these talents in spite of everything. You can learn which procedures are particularly helpful for this, which requirements an active sourcer must fulfil, and much more about the topic in our comprehensive active sourcing seminar.
The advantages of Active Sourcing over passive recruiting measures
Once your HR department is in contact with a correspondingly large pool of potential employees, the recruiting process is greatly accelerated as soon as it matters. In contrast to passive recruiting, active sourcing means that the HR department does not have to advertise the position and wait for the most qualified candidates to contact them. Instead, HR managers can fall back on the direct approach of suitable candidates with whom they are already in contact. The advantages are obvious. Instead of hoping that candidates with the required qualities will contact the company, pre-screened candidates with matching profiles can be targeted. This speeds up the recruitment process and at the same time ensures that the applicant’s skills are an optimal match for the job. With active sourcing, you can prevent staff shortages in good time. In our Active Sourcing Seminar, we explain in detail how to proceed in a targeted manner.
In addition to the time aspect, Active Sourcing also saves you the costs of placing job advertisements. By approaching candidates directly, you are directly one step ahead in the recruiting process. It is also very likely that your recruiting specialists will have to conduct fewer interviews than with passive recruiting, as they invite targeted talents who are ideally suited for the vacant position. This makes your HR department work absolutely efficiently and cost-saving.
Another advantage of active sourcing is that competing companies can be bypassed in the search for qualified professionals. You approach candidates before they actively enter the job market. In this way, you can identify talent that is ready to change but has not yet ventured into the candidate market. And even if you approach candidates who do not want to leave their current job at that time, many employees are quite willing to stay in touch in case they want to develop their career later on.
Why is an Active Sourcing Seminar useful?
The many advantages of Active Sourcing give your company a clear edge in the recruiting market. It allows you to efficiently acquire qualified personnel and keep promising candidates on hand who can help your company achieve even more success in the future.
Active Sourcing has a lot of potential to improve your personnel management. However, if you want to take full advantage of this potential, your recruiting specialists must be careful not to make any mistakes in the direct approach. After all, applicants who have once gained a bad impression of your company are often difficult to win back. In order not to lose these talents, every step from the applicant research to the first contact to the long-term maintenance of the contact and regular follow-up must make a good impression on the potential employee. In our Active Sourcing Seminar you will learn, among other things, proven Active Sourcing methods, an appropriate direct approach to candidates and receive valuable practical tips from long-standing recruiting experts as well as detailed documentation. The contents of the Active Sourcing Seminar are summarized below.
