Sourcing Certification Program News – April 2015

The Sourcing Certification Program created to keep Recruiting professionals and teams

on top of all things Sourcing and Searching and to allow fair measurement of Sourcing

skills, is thriving and has evolved. The changes in the format and content are based on

our significant experience and study of the industry needs and on the progress

of Internet research tools.

Sign up for the Info Session to find out the details. Here, I will briefly outline the news:

Subscription. The Program offers a yearly subscription to online multi-media

materials that a participant can access at any time. The modules cover "everything"

sourcing, from Search Engines to Social Networks and LinkedIn "hacks" to productivity

tools. The formats include how-to posts with screenshots; videos; practice tasks;

quizzes; and Tip Sheets.

Teams get special treatment: group discounts and interactive custom sessions.

What is especially beneficial is that we refresh the materials in the Guidebook monthly,

to reflect everything important that has changed and the top new tools.

At this time, we are also adding extra modules covering candidate engagement; phone

sourcing; and specific sourcing tips for various locations - in the US and world-wide -

and industries.

An outstanding feature of the Guidebook is that everyone receives support in navigating

and applying sourcing skills for the whole year. (This alone is worth the price of the

subscription!) We have been praised for caring about our customers.

If you feel you are ready, go ahead and subscribe.

Exams. While we now allow to take the exam and become certified without the

subscription, practice shows that our subscribers do significantly better in the exams

testing hands-on sourcing skills. An attempt to take the Exam is included with the

Sourcing Guidebook subscription.

Reference Library. In addition to training and practice modules, the Guidebook

contains Reference Tip sheets, including Boolean strings syntax, a library of "top"

Boolean strings, lists of tips for sourcing on LinkedIn, lists of tools and browser

extensions, and more. Keep it open while sourcing.

Tools and Premium Subscription. We provide lists of Boolean strings and

Custom Search Engines for participants to use.

As a new addition, we are excited to have a partnership with the people

aggregator HiringSolved - the only people aggregator that searches across all locations

and industries. Combined access to our training and reference platform is offered as a

premium subscription (already available as an option) and provides outstanding ROI, as

an All-in-One Sourcing Training/Reference/Tools solution.

Reports. We know that the measurement of training and sourcing performance is

critical. At the request of team managers, we have developed reporting tools on the

Guidebook and the tools usage.

Please note, all subscription prices go up on June 1st, 2015. Our solution will remain the

best in terms of ROI.
