The document summarizes the results of a 2015 survey on the state of sourcing. It finds that over half of respondents were from corporate recruiting, while the rest were from third party recruiting firms. Most respondents were individual contributors. The lines between sourcers and recruiters are blurring. Engagement remains a challenge. Sourcers prioritize LinkedIn, personal networks, and applicant tracking systems over other tools. Requisition loads vary significantly depending on factors like company size and position type. Talent acquisition leaders want sourcers focused on placements, qualified candidates, and screening activities. The skills needed for future success include relationship building and an ability to leverage new technologies.
