Recruiting and sourcing are increasingly recognized as distinct activities with very different goals and outcomes, requiring very different skills and processes.
Sure, some recruiters can source but typically sourcers cannot recruit. It’s a live debate in our industry – particularly on the question of who makes initial contact with a prospective candidate.
We have started to see these activities becoming increasingly differentiated, as the skills and techniques to be a true specialist become harder to master.
Over the last few years we have also observed some of the best talent teams in the world (not to mention many of the largest global staffing businesses) structuring different roles and functions around these different areas.
At RecruitLoop we’ve always been about simplicity and transparency – for our clients of course our recruiters. So in full transparency, I’ll admit that from time to time our Sourcing Service may have caused a little confusion.
Are we a sourcing solution or a recruiting solution? Are we a marketplace of sourcers or recruiters? Is the sourcing done hourly? Or are our recruiters in fact researchers and market mappers?
We don’t like confusion. At all.
RecruitLoop
RecruitLoop is (and will continue to be) a global marketplace of over 6,500 expert recruiters available to help clients anywhere in the world with as much or as little of the recruitment process as they need.
However because we provide both services, recruiting and sourcing, last year we decided to communicate it clearly to our partners and clients and spin out our sourcing service as a separate product.
