We recorded this episode live in person, right after Sandra Feldmann rocked the stage at the Sourcing Summit. The energy of doing it in person was - as usual - incredible, and Sandra was totally in her element – you'll feel like you're in the room in Amsterdam with us!Sandra is big about blending Marketing + Recruiting (a common thread on the podcast). During our conversation, she shared some super cool strategies on making connections with candidates that are way more than just about hiring. It's all about getting to know them as people and what they really want.Here's what we discussed:* Start with WhySandra brought up Simon Sinek's book "Start with Why," applying its principles to recruiting. It's all about flipping the script and focusing on why the role matters to the candidate, not just what the job is. As Sandra put it, “You first have to cut through the noise... People want to feel the relevance of what does this person want from me? Why is this relevant to me?”* The company is not the hero - the candidate is! Sandra shared her insights on the importance of making each candidate feel like the hero of their own story - a big topic of her SOSU talk. I liked this idea and the whole “hero journey” comparison. Most (all?) recruiters frame the company as the “Hero” whose journey the candidates can join ("let's join us to disrupt X and become the first unicorn to do Y!", but nobody's excited about being the side kick to another hero. People want to be the heroes of their own stories, and have their own journeys! * Personalize based on the person AND their cultureDifferent people like different things. It's super important to tailor your approach, especially when it comes to different cultures. That requires effort, work, investigation. Last but not least “You should follow up, follow up, make sure to stay top of mind”. * The Impact of RecruitingWe also got into how what we do as recruiters can really make a difference in someone's life. Pretty inspiring stuff, and I hope both our passion showed :) So, what do you think? I'd love to hear your take on the episode. Just hit reply and let's chat!P.S.

Everybody talks about search in sourcing: Booleans, X-Rays etc. But finding candidates is not as valuable as 10 years ago. Because now almost everybody is on LinkedIn. The real valuable expertise? Getting people to reply: copywriting, personalization.That's what I believe at least. The thing is… Balazs Paroczay believes the complete opposite. Balazs is a legend - a multiple speaker at events like SourceCon and Sourcing Summit, with more than 15+ years of experience.We had a 30-minute debate together on A-Players. In this episode, we talk mainly about:-Is search dead?-Why you are probably missing out on a lot of candidates on LinkedIn-Why it's so hard to get responses from candidates on LinkedIn-Are reply rates better outside of LinkedIn?-How to best reach out to candidates on Linkedin and outside, to increase your reply ratesTo follow Balazs on LinkedIn, click here.

Sourcing is not traditional recruitment. But what is sourcing and how does it work? When should you use sourcing versus traditional recruitment? Tips and timing? With sourcing you take control and get passive talent to become actively interested in your organization. Sébastien Savard started out doing this for Cirque du Soleil and has since formed a company with a sourcing specialty. He knows the details and the art of sourcing and shares so much of it in this episode.
