Active Sourcing FAQs

What does Active Sourcing mean?

In active sourcing, candidates are actively approached via social networks such as LinkedIn or Xing. Candidates with suitable qualifications for the vacant position are sought and made aware of the position and the company. In addition to actively seeking candidates, passive or latent seekers are also addressed. More information on active sourcing is available here.

What are the benefits of active sourcing?

Active sourcing significantly increases the candidate pool, as not only actively seeking candidates are addressed. In addition, the targeted search can identify optimal matching candidates for the position. By actively addressing them, the time between job posting and filling the position can be significantly reduced. In addition, active sourcing is much more cost-effective than the usual job portals.

How does Active Sourcing work?

The first step is to define a requirements profile for the position to be filled. The channels for addressing are then selected. The most common portals for this are LinkedIn and Xing. For selected positions, however, it is a good idea to search for candidates outside of these portals.

With a defined requirement profile and the selected channels, the search for suitable candidates can begin. Found profiles are contacted with individual messages and made aware of the position. If the candidate is interested, an initial interview can be arranged to discuss in more detail.
