DESCRIPTION
Hard-to-find talent isn’t interested in submitting resumes or engaging with career sites. These are busy people, deeply focused on a project or idea. Reaching them is not only difficult — it’s often next to impossible. Crowdsourcing may hold the answer, but it is not a panacea nor is it easy. It requires the recruiter to have highly relevant, specific, and engaging content, a fast response time, and solid technical information. In this webinar Kevin will discuss several strategies to make crowdsourcing practical and how to use different techniques to improve candidate supply and quality.
