4 Major Reasons Why Sourcing Training Is Important.
Talent sourcing is one of the major responsibilities of talent services and that is the
reason why they invest a lot of time and resources into this function. This ensures that
they get the best talent from the ground. Talent sourcing requires some special skills
and that is the reason why selection panels from different talent services undergo some
special sourcing training to ensure that they are competent enough when it comes to
selecting the best talent from the ground. This article will explain why it is important for
the staff from talent sourcing companies to undergo some basic talent sourcing training.
1. It enables them know how to carry out auditions
Talent sourcing companies carry out auditions in
almost every local area in attempt to find out the
best talents from the ground. Holding special
auditions requires some special organizational
skills that can only be gained from sourcing
training. A lot of effort and skills are required to plan auditions from the beginning to
the end.
Talent sourcing companies send selection panels to every local area and things can be
very difficult if they do not have any training. They have to select the right venue for
auditions and put everything in place to ensure that the people that turn up for the
auditions get an opportunity to showcase their talents in a good environment.
2. It enables them to conduct successful interviews
Talent sourcing companies are expected to interview selected candidates from the field
before the can sign them for representation. The best way to ensure that the company
gets the best candidates is by subjecting the selected candidates to an interview. Talent
services have a team of interviewers that plan and facilitate interviews and it is
important for them to have some basic sourcing training in order to get the best
talent.
The training ensures that the interviewers know the right questions to ask during an
interview and some of the attributes they are supposed to look for in an interview. The
selection panel should have some basic skills in psychology for them to be able to select
candidates with the right personality.
3. People management and team building
The staff from talent services deal with a lot of people on a daily basis and it is
important for them to know how to manage people. Many talent sourcing companies
end up losing a lot of talented candidates because their staff may not have the required
competence to handle them in the best way possible.
A selection panel deals with people of different characters and attitudes and should be
in a position to serve all of them in the best way possible. Sourcing training enables the
recruitment staff to get the necessary team building and people management skills
because of the nature of their job.
4. It enables them to coach new talent
There is no way a person that is not trained can claim to have the ability to train others.
It is important for talent sourcing companies to ensure that their staff is well trained in
the current industry trends for them to be in a better position to pass the information to
the candidates they intent to recruit. This also enables them to know what to look for
during auditions and interviews.
