Jeremy Langhans  had a question on Linkedin? Definition of Sourcer..

My Answer-
Breaking a Sourcer to a Primary or a Secondary sourcer.

The primary sourcer identify candidates via phone. Tapping candidates who are working with no visibility to the outside world. The only way is to call directly into organizations to uncover details on their role, title and responsibilities.
Secondary sourcer with Internet; utilizing advanced Boolean searches to identify candidates. Internet Researcher/sourcer need to have expertise in uncovering talent from the unlimited web and includes searching on forums, blogs, groups, home pages, etc.
Most organization need to have a talented sourcing team which focuses on both primary and secondary sourcing or should get individuals who can do both. Once the research /data mining is done you could qualify and contacting the data. Pre qualifying can be done by the researcher/sourcer or recruiter.. that really depends on your model /org structure. Name Generation, Candidate Qualifying or Scrubbing Job Boards would varies functions of sourcing.
Definition, roles ,names may vary but building Talentpipe line and finding talent outside the usual lines- Thats my defination of a Sourcer.
