Where to search, what to search for, what is most important to the client, determining needs VS wants and how to effectively branch out from that, casting a wider net over the life of the search as needed. I have exp working with various ATSs, experienced at picking up and learning whichever ATS the client is using. I have exp maintaining relationships with startup recruiters, communicating and managing expectations. Startup recruiters are the best. I manage timeframes, reporting when results aren't doing great and give examples of how we can change to make things better. I drill down into problems, find roadblocks, and suggest multiple options of how we can overcome them. I use tools with the goal of completing tasks faster, especially low value, time sucking tasks. Exp with Linkedin Sales Navigator, Crunchbase, Wiza, etc. Management: I hire and teach other sourcers. I guide them when they've reached a roadblock, brainstorming on what to do next, discuss what search terms they have been using, and how they might restructure their search to find more people, or to refine the search to find people that are a better fit. I have lots of exp managing and mentoring sourcers from other countries. I know how to communicate effectively with someone who only speaks broken English, translating the requirements and feedback into something they can understand. I have exp navigating the gig work space, navigating Upwork, finding and hiring people outside the US. I have exp creating spreadsheets in GoogleDocs to create formulas, track numbers, creating metrics, settings quotas, and working towards those goals. I manage expectations with my sourcers. I communicate what results the hiring manager or recruiter expects and help sourcers work toward that goal.
