This is a YouTube video titled "Sourcing applicants like a PRO 🚀#shorts" containing a monologue or single-speaker discussion from June 26, 2023, about effective strategies for sourcing job applicants, emphasizing the value of active sourcing and headhunting over job ads in a low unemployment market.
For some positions, you can just put the job ad up and you will get a lot of applicants. Usually that's like junior positions, maybe creative roles like graphic designers or video editors. You can get quite a few applicants if you just put a job ad. Otherwise, I would say head hunting sourcing, like active sourcing is the best approach. Personally, at this moment, unfortunately, I don't think job ads give the best result, mainly because, you know, even in the US I think the unemployment rate is like record lows, like 3% or something very low, meaning that everyone has a job. But there are actually a lot of people passively looking for jobs. And those are the people that you should reach out to, head hunt, you know, try to sell the position and get them on a call. And sometimes, you know, I always say it only takes one good candidate to close the job.
