Sure there was one or two things I did not agree with, but all in all this article was on the nose regarding sourcing. A second time I actually liked and agreed with an article that Sullivan Wrote..

I've long espoused the idea of sourcing through associations (see: http://www.collegerecruiter.com/weblog/archives/2006/06/finding_the_rig.php ) In fact, there was one time we were retained for a search in a niche industry and had absolutely no contacts for it. My research turned up two or three associations that just happened to be having their monthly meetings within that week. Attending two of those meetings turned up dozens of contacts and even more leads, as well as many presentable candidates. So in regard to using associations for sourcing, I totally agree. It's hard to generalize about characteristics and values held by a particular group. So it's difficult to concur with some of the examples. However, those examples are definitely food for thought when trying to sort out which types of people and groups will be more likely to fill the bill. Definitely good information to keep in mind as we review resumes. Far too often, inherent talent because of a profession or association is overlooked because it isn't specifically spelled out on the resument in several hundred words or so. Thanks for sending out the wake-up call. Viva Interesting words and concepts.

Broadcasting,Narrowcasting or microcasting we have been doing in one form or the other to the extent of insight and motivation we have on the job in hand. The article really focusses on the insight we need to have on talent pools and source maps. Clarity breeds motivation. If you want animals to race on the ground dont search for them on the trees, you may end up getting unpredictable yet agile monkeys. you dont have a right to say there are no good horses. Thank You Dr. Sullivan. Iriventi Sridhar Murthy (ISM) This article is one of the best thought crystalisg one I have ever read.

This can work to find special skills or special demographics to improve diversity recruiting. Broadcasting jobs is clearly 'the easy button', narrowcasting or microcasting is clearly more work, but no pain - no gain, right?
