Themes from the 2015 State of Sourcing Survey• The lines continue to blur between sourcers
and recruiters. • Engagement, not identification,
continues to be a problem for talent acquisition professionals
• Are Sourcers and recruiters wasting time?
Is your talent acquisition team larger or smaller today than it was this time last year?
Do you employ sourcers?
Leaders: Do you plan to increase the number of sourcers on your team in the next 12 months?
