The Meaning Behind Modern Sourcing

Candidate sourcing means building relationships with potential candidates early — long before they apply. It’s not about posting jobs, but about actively looking for talent and staying connected.

AI-based candidate sourcing makes this process more targeted. Smart algorithms analyse skills, experience, and behaviour to suggest candidates who are not only qualified but also more likely to engage. This modern definition shifts sourcing from guesswork to data-driven decision-making.

Methods That Actually Work

Recruiters use many techniques to find candidates: manual searches, employee referrals, networking events. These classic methods are still useful — but limited in scale. AI for sourcing candidates adds a new layer. It can search across multiple platforms, identify hidden talent, and automate follow-ups. These capabilities allow teams to reach more people, faster, and with better timing. It’s about working smarter — not harder.
