2. Sourcing efficiency should be the focus of practitioners in the trenches.

3. Candidate Engagement continues to be a popular topic among sourcing professionals.

Don’t use “opportunity” or “job” in your subject lines when emailing candidates. Be creative. #sourcecon — Jim Stroud (@jimstroud) March 24, 2015

By the way – asking for referrals in your initial candidate messages is disingenuous & proof it was never about them #sourcecon — Glen Cathey (@GlenCathey) March 24, 2015

4. Meerkat was the hot new app of the week.
