Whilst the quality of your candidates is indeed a significant indicator of your recruiting prowess, both Hiring Managers and Talent Teams also place great importance on understanding your candidates sourcing methods.

Here's a breif overview of the candidate sourcing approaches utilized by Ada Meher;

  • CRM/Database & Referral Search; reaching out to our direct community and existing relationships

  • Job Advert Creation; recruitment specific copywritng training which we use to create succinct, targeted, benefit-led ads.
  • Narrow Keyword Search; we curate a narrow, Boolean string contaning all the essential AND desirbale criteria, location and industry. Typically, harbouring results of 20-30, best-fit candidates.
  • Expanded Keyword & Iterative Search; including the use of synonyms related keywords and testing with different filters to substantially grow a long list of suitable candidates.
