Key terms
- Sourcing. The aggregate of enterprise efforts that are undertaken in order to identify and list possible sources, internal and/or external, that are potentially capable to provide the specified organizational resources, as well as potential data sources who are able to provide relevant information on specific acquisitions.
- In-network message. A message sent to the members of a network.
- Employment resource. Any resource, usually web-based, that allows for matching employers and employment candidates.
Script
- Because both employers and workers are on the job market, they both are engaged in marketing.
- Marketing endeavors of workers are called job marketing. Workers should market themselves to land a job.
- Marketing endeavors of recruiters are called vacancy marketing. Recruiters should market their employment vacancies to find qualified, able, and available employment candidates.
- In recruitment, sourcing is the process of identifying possible sources to satisfy recruitment needs. Recruiters find the sources where they can find qualified employment candidates.
- Recruiters may look for those workers who are active on the market, as well as those who are not.
- Most of employers 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. A referral from a current employee significantly simplifies screening and is a credential itself.
- Employment resource is any external resource, usually, but not necessarily, web-based, that allows for matching employers and employment candidates. Employment websites and freelance marketplaces are examples of these resources.
