Candidate sourcing
Glossary
Candidate sourcing is the proactive side of hiring: recruiters search talent pools, profiles, and networks to find people who fit a role, then reach out — instead of only reviewing inbound applications.
For candidates, sourcing is good news: a strong, searchable profile can get you discovered by recruiters without applying at all. For recruiting teams, Traceroster makes sourcing a plain-English search instead of a boolean-string exercise.
