Using Digg to Find Candidates
One thing you learn very quickly about sourcers is that they’ll try anything and everything to find high quality passive candidates. This is especially true when it comes to people sourcing for high-tech talent, which is extremely hard to find.
Geoff Peterson has an idea for using digg to find passive candidates. I chuckled a bit when I first read this because I had never heard of digg being used in this way. And I can bet you the folks at digg haven’t thought of it either…But it shows you just how forward-thinking some sourcers are; they’re looking at every and any opportunity to research and find those great technical people. And if you’re willing to invest the time and thought into new ways of sourcing talent, you’ll end up succeeding more for it.
Thanks for the positive press! I try to use just about “anything” to help me in my sourcing efforts…
Geoff - I love hearing of new and innovative ways people are using technology for sourcing…especially because it gives me a lot of ideas for things I can do with Standout Jobs and our product.
