SESSION DESCRIPTION As organizations move toward fluid 'insourcing' of the recruitment process and push for greater ownership of overall talent community management, there is great opportunity to blend disciplined CI mechanics with myriad home-grown sourcing processes. Sourcing is an area of the recruitment lifecycle that holds promise for far more than name generation; this session aims to introduce professionals to core CI research and analysis processes and cycles. By learning how to create greater value for larger internal information users, those involved with sourcing might see new dimensions to their roles, alter their internal value and ultimately elevate the criticality of the sourcing function.
While countless HR teams and recruiters throw the term 'competitive intelligence' around with wanton disregard for the ethics involved in corporate CI, what they often describe is really just research - the gathering of information. Research is not intelligence, intelligence comes only when information is analyzed and presented in the form of insight and recommendation. This session will show you how to shift gears and turn a sourcing function into a functional CI team without adding people and without interrupting the continuity of existing HR needs for talent!
