Best Student Remark of the Day "People lump recruiting and sourcing into the same category a lot of times and they are very different functions." ~ Ryan Haire ******

Denyse Diem
Hi Ryan - happy to meet you - Hello Animal! Good to see you again

Maureen Sharib
Let's start - has everyone read the blog Post below - "Notes From the Underbelly"? Did you happen to notice the two responses that came from Elizabeth and Ms. Mendoza?

Denyse Diem
yes - great tips. to all the experienced sourcers here- - what part of this business is most challenging for you?

Recruiting Animal
Hi Denny

Maureen Sharib
Good question. Most challenging - I think working alone would be the answer for some people

Denyse Diem
Please love - if it's one nick name I hate (and I rarely use that word), please don't call me Denny - anything thing else thanks

Maureen Sharib
There you go Animal, stepping on toes. You gonna watch yourself today?

Denyse Diem
so the isolation and technique....

Maureen Sharib
A lot of new sourcers are concerned about the Gatekeeper - they worry what she's gonna do/say to them. Yes the isolation can be a big problem for some people - if you're going to be a phone sourcer typically you RELISH working alone - in fact - you much prefer it.

Maureen Sharib
Elizabeth said, in her Blog Post comment: “sourcing is still such an enigma that you must be clear on purpose.”

Maureen Sharib
Can anyone tell us what she is referring to?
