My good friends at SourceCon are currently conducting a global survey called The State of Sourcing.  This survey is not just for candidate sourcing folks, but everyone that sourcing touches including corporate recruiters, agency consultants etc!

The survey is to discover what sourcing looks like within your company, what (if any) plans you may have for sourcing in the coming months and how sourcing is utilized in various types of organizations.

I came across this cute and smart way of using social media as a recruitment medium. Enjoy!

In recent years, high-touch selling has been the mainstay in the sales world. Essentially, it is selling not through high-pressure tactics but rather selling by way of asking questions to uncover the needs of the client in a very in-depth manner such that the sales person is seen as a partner with a solution to the client’s problems. Cisco Systems is a firm believer in high-touch selling and many of its sales managers go through the rigors of such training before unleashing their sales force to corporate clients.
