To start the search - Keep it simple

I often iterate on my sourcing set-up. I (re)start from scrath, I make a new analysis of the project/need, I think about keywords, exclusions, the ideal profile... which allows me to complete the initial set-up.

To identify the first keywords

• Position title
• Project i.e.: high traffic, e-commerce = purchasing tunnel problem etc.
• Must-have skills
• Nice-to-have skills

To know where to start the research

• Competitors or similar companies/projects

  ⚒️ Welcome to the jungle, Stackshare, Crunchbase or Mattermark

• Websites, forums etc.

• Communities, associations etc.

• Schools vis alumni programs or rankings

• Events, trade fairs, conferences, meet-ups etc.

How to scrap those endless lists of contacts/companies?

💡 Trick & Trip

Sourcing iteration

Combine +10 profiles. It's your very first sourcing sprint.

Ask for your team/hiring manager to review them.

It will help to balance hiring expectations with real concrete backgrounds/persons
