Recruiters must find the sources where they can find qualified employment candidates. A look at internal sources would be at the beginning of most strategies.
The internal sources of recruitment are the current employees of the employing organization. The employer has already screened them and established employment relationships.
When there is an opportunity for career progression, the current employees may seize that opportunity. When not, they may refer somebody in their networks.
Most of employers routinely use in-network messages to find the sources. These messages are sent to the employees and those stakeholders who are in the organizational network. These messages contain the information about the employment vacancy and, possibly, about a referral fee.
All in all, recruitment is neither cheap nor fast. Relying on the internal sources tends to save recruitment time and money. A referral from a current employee significantly simplifies screening and is a credential itself.
When internal sources are not sufficient, recruiters may look for those workers who are active on the market, as well as those who are not. Employers may conduct vacancy marketing on their own or hire third-party recruiters.
Building reliable sources through partnerships may be another strategy. An employer may sponsor a professional group, vocational school, or media in exchange for the leads and accesses to potential employment candidates.

Worker Competences is the successor lectio.
