How does confidence relate to sourcing? I am referring to the entire process of sourcing for any position you work on. How many times do the following questions hit your mind before starting to source candidates for a requisition? How will I fill this requisition, what are my sources, what are the channels I can get help from, will my job postings bring great results with candidate applications – and if not, then what kind of impression will it deliver to my recruiters, am I choosing the right source in the beginning, and many more.

Sourcing. In my world, it consists of countless innovations as well as renovations. We are presented with innumerable opportunities to do new things every time we perform a search on the Web. One might find the number of resources, techniques, strategies, and approaches to sourcing to be insurmountable to achieving a certain level of success. However, a sourcing professional does not need to be an expert in everything. One main skill is required to become a successful sourcer: I call it curiosity.
