Hear how you identify complete intact teams, reporting relationships, direct dial numbers, email addresses, etc., in any industry, any function, worldwide, from individual contributors to senior management with empowering sourcing best practices. Excel in recruiting for the most challenging open positions via this fun, fearless formula and improve your reputation as the Deliverer of Results!LinkedIn has raised the bar for recruiting performance.  Now that the playing field is leveled, how are you distinguishing your results?  The over-bearing focus on talent identification is now obsolete.  PRIMARY RESEARCH, as opposed to all research found online, is the use of human network to access meaningful intelligence.  Phone research and outreach continues to distinguish great researchers’ and recruiters’, and more importantly their companies’, candidate quality results. This compelling, competitive skill will drive business growth in 2016.I present internationally on advanced internet and phone sourcing strategies and techniques, incorporating all other speakers’ tools and tips, for high performance recruiting and talent acquisition.  What search has been the most challenging?  Have you contacted the most qualified talent or those who are easiest to find?  We excel in an efficient, metrics-driven process to recruit the best candidates online and by phone via tried-and-true sourcing best practices.  Let us share our results and learnings with you.
