What is candidate sourcing?

Candidate sourcing involves actively looking for and connecting with potential candidates for any current or future roles at your company. Through this process, hiring managers engage with prospective candidates and put them into a talent pipeline to fill open positions.

Recruiters use various sourcing techniques, including reaching out to qualified candidates on LinkedIn, building a strong employer brand and maintaining a candidate database.

What advantage does an ATS add to candidate sourcing?

 

Many candidate sourcing platforms are integrated into applicant tracking systems (ATS), like GoHire.

 

As an all-in-one ATS, GoHire has several candidate sourcing tools that recruiters and hiring managers use to boost their sourcing workflow.

 

One-click job posting to multiple boards

Post to multiple job boards with just one click. With GoHire, you can automatically post your job ads to over 15 job boards, including LinkedIn, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter and many more—for free! This helps you diversify your sourcing channels and reach more candidates.

 

You can also spread your reach even further if you’d like. Simply use your unique job short-link to direct applicants back to your careers site to complete their applications. That way, you can store all hiring data in one, convenient place.

 

Access to over 700 free job description templates

Successfully attracting candidates involves saying the right thing. Save time writing and rewriting job ads by using one of our 700 free job description templates. Simply pick a template, adapt it to your specific job requirements and small business needs and publish. It’s that quick!

 

Social media integration

Let the world know that you’re hiring new employees by linking your social media platforms and automatically posting all jobs directly on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

 

Employer branding

Your employer brand could be the difference between a candidate responding to your outreach or ignoring it. ATSs include several employer branding features, including customised career pages highlighting your company culture and latest job listings.

 

Seamlessly organise all candidates

Keep an updated list of all candidates, past and present, in one candidate database. With GoHire, you can easily organise and manage applicants in one easy-to-use collaborative dashboard.

 

Plus, you can quickly upload CVs and candidate profiles of anyone you come across while sourcing outside GoHire’s integrated job adverts. That means no more spreadsheets or multiple talent lists. GoHire really is the ultimate candidate sourcing tool if you want to keep everything in one convenient (and organised) place!

 

Personalised campaigns

One of the major benefits of maintaining a talent database is that you always have candidates to reach out to when new roles open up! GoHire makes it easy to send automated, personalised campaigns to pre-qualified candidates in your talent database—saving your recruitment team time and money!

 

That’s just the start. Learn about all of GoHire’s features.

Frequently asked questions about candidate sourcing software

What is the difference between candidate sourcing and recruiting?

You may think sourcing and recruiting are the same thing. But, while similar, there is one slight difference. Candidate sourcing involves searching for and attracting potential candidates for current and future roles. While recruiting focuses more on reviewing candidates and ultimately hiring candidates for a specific role.

So, sourcing is a more proactive approach, involving attracting both active and passive candidates, while recruitment is more reactive and includes screening, selecting, interviewing and hiring of candidates.

 

Where can you source candidates other than on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is an excellent place to source candidates, but it’s not the only place. To source more qualified candidates, you need to diversify your sourcing channels. The key to finding the best channels for your small business is understanding your target candidates to better predict where they’re hanging out and where they’re most likely to engage with you.

Here are a few places to look for candidates:

  • Facebook groups
  • Industry-specific websites featuring candidate databases
  • In-person events, conferences and meet-ups
  • Your current employee networks
