Coloring Outside The Lines: Creative Thinking In A
Sourcer’s World

WHAT YOU WILL TAKE AWAY TODAY
• Overcoming loss of creativity during sourcing
• Methods to get your creative juices flowing
• Tips & tricks to help you along the way

BORING!!

1. LOSING CREATIVITY? NOW WHAT?
• Creating and evaluating at the same time –
cannot do both at the same time
• Stuck inside the comfort zone – using same
methods over and over again
• Overwhelmed by too much data, aka “Data
Overload”

Like crayons, the box that recruiters color in has
vastly changed over the years with the invention of
LinkedIn, job boards - Monster, Indeed,
CareerBuilder and many others.

2. CREATE – THEN EVALUATE
• Create: Think of new ideas, visualize and
consider the COUNTLESS possibilities to find
leads
• Evaluate: Decide and pick apart ideas and
sort them into categories, such as “good” and
“bad” or “useful” and “useless”

3. GETTING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE
• If you say to your self, “I only use XXX
and YYY” tools or methods to find
candidates, it’s time for you to leave your
comfort zone!
• What will you do if those tools and/or
methods go away?
