Sourcing Your Candidates

In order to have good candidates, you have to have your pool of qualified candidates and then from there, you are able to implement a selection process which would weed out the best among the rest.

For you to get the best, you must also know where to search these people and how to get them interested in the position that they are applying for. There are certain sourcing strategies involve which you could implement your recruitment activities. Here are some effective suggestions to source out candidates:

-Internal sources, either from employees or their family and friends
-Word of mouth via employees
-Past applications on file.
-Schools and colleges for graduates or school leavers
-Government agencies like Fás
-Advertising, locally, nationally, or internationally
-Employment agencies

 


Using these channels would enable you to get a lot of candidates and also to evaluate on which sources are able to produce qualified applicants. From then on, narrowing and focusing on that strategy would give you double than what you are targeting for.

Mary, it's actually refreshing that you avoided Internet sources in your list but LinkedIn groups are really useful:
