2. driving sourcing excellence
“Effective sourcing is critical to recruiting success — but
many organizations struggle to achieve high ROI on
sourcing efforts. Carmen Hudson, a Yahoo and Starbucks
alum, will discuss how companies that “get it” integrate
sourcing into the recruiting workflow. She will share how
high-performing sourcing teams get results. What are
the best practices of successful sourcing teams and
sourcing leaders? How are they structured? How do they
manage communication and hand-offs? How should
sourcing teams be measured? What must be in place to
ensure sourcing results, and how can you determine if
your sourcing team is set up to be successful? You’ll get
answers questions.”

20. what are the external factors that
prevent success?

21. do you have a “top 10” list?
• your CEO/CTO does
• wanna be ‘strategic’? produce a top 100 list
for your organization, and report your progress
• your ability to recruit your top 10/top 100 is
directly correlated to your brand
• if your brand does not match your EVP word will
,
get out
