At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sourcecon.com\/2013atlanta\/\">SourceCon<\/a> in Atlanta, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/adam-lawrence\/7\/718\/72\">Adam Lawrence<\/a> shared some eye-opening information about what sourcing is, and what it is not. These two lists are not exhaustive, but the information will help you to determine if you are allocating your time appropriately. For managers, consider these items a checklist of making sure your sourcers&#8217; function is not being misused \u2013 by recruiters or by themselves. Being able to identify the specific responsibilities of sourcing will help you view it with a more comprehensive lens as to the importance of the function \u2013 not just within the recruiting organization, but throughout your whole company.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-sourcing-is\"><u><strong>What Sourcing IS:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>External candidate focus<\/li>\n<li>Passive candidate identification<\/li>\n<li>Talent pooling (build and manage)<\/li>\n<li>Specialist knowledge of industry and associated skills, nomenclature, and competition<\/li>\n<li>Possess tools and capability to locate and engage talent<\/li>\n<li>Identifying\/vetting\/training on tools and technology \u2013 including job boards, social networks, and search tools for individual and team use<\/li>\n<li>Sell the client brand and engage with candidates<\/li>\n<li>Build and execute a sourcing strategy<\/li>\n<li>Understand and contextualize requisition and candidate\u2019s job qualifications<\/li>\n<li>Candidate management \u2013 expectation management<\/li>\n<li>Brand champion \u2013 brand custodian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-sourcing-is-not\"><u><strong>What Sourcing IS NOT:<\/strong><\/u><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Interview scheduling \/ Admin<\/li>\n<li>Responding to email queries<\/li>\n<li>Dealing with internal candidates<\/li>\n<li>Preparing reports and analysis<\/li>\n<li>Response management (job posting or career site)<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Post and Pray&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\u201cFaceless\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Competency-based<\/li>\n<li>Doing recruiters&#8217; admin and interviews<\/li>\n<li>An optional resource<\/li>\n<li>Managing agency candidates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the items on the NOT list are things that can be <em>part<\/em> of a sourcer&#8217;s function, but should not be the main focus.
