Sourcing Strategy Step by step guide on different methods and tools to help source talent As the Senior Web Developer position is an active rec advertised on companies website these are the following steps I will take in accordance to this: Step 1) Send out an employee referral scheme to all employees within the company advertising the Senior Web Developer position (for big company maybe send to specific team). Step 2) Use LinkedIn Recruiter to search for any candidates actively looking by using the open to opportunities feature and then move onto candidates which are not open to new opportunities. The passive candidates I will contact will be based on how long they have been in their current position and based off their skillset. I feel people who have just started their new position are less reluctant to move, than people who have served a long time in one position. However, being selective on messaging will all depend on how big or small the candidate pool is on LinkedIn. Step 3) Use a website called Recruitin.NET this website is great for X-Ray searching on websites such as, LinkedIn, Dribble, Github, Xing, Stack Overflow, and Twitter.
Sourcing Strategy - Step by step guide on different methods and tools to help source talent Step 4) Use various recruitment tools such as, Contact Out or Lusha to find contact numbers and email addresses. This all depends on how desperate I am in finding these candidates, as this is an internal position this method should be my last resort. Step 5) If I am really struggling on the rec, I will involve the hiring manager in helping to source by assigning them a seat on LinkedIn, or creating a project on LinkedIn for them for them to send out inmails for better possible engagement. For example, a CTO may get better response rates from Web Developers than a Recruiter. In addition this, the hiring manager can also send messages to candidates sourced via Twitter, Github and Stack Overflow, for better possible engagement.
Sourcing Strategy (Boolean search string) For the Senior Web Developer position I typed the following Boolean string into LinkedIn based off the job criteria: o (React*" OR "React.js" OR "ReactJS" OR "React") AND ("Node*" OR "Node.JS" OR "NodeJS") AND ("GraphQL" OR "Graph QL") o Postcode option on LinkedIn: (Office Address) A good indicator that I knew my Boolean search was working well is that I was getting most of the Senior Web Developers working for the company I am recruiting for showing at the top of my search. Furthermore, I had a good talent pool to work with around 110 people. The reason for not putting everything from the job description into the Boolean string is that not everything is listed on a persons LinkedIn profile. Therefore, this will limit the amount of good profiles from getting through in the search.
Engagement Message via LinkedIn Recruiter Subject Line: (Persons Name), (Your Company Name) Needs You! Message: Hi (Name), Your experience working at (Their Company Name) as a Full Stack Developer is great for a Senior Web Developer role Im recruiting for, working here at (Your Company Name) in our (Office Location Address). You will be using your amazing skills in React, Node.js, Javascript, GraphQL and more to help grow our #1 ranking shopping app on the Google Play Store which is helping millions of users to buy and sell their products via web or mobile. Please see link to job description (the link will be pasted here) It would be great to speak with you over a call, even if youre not yet looking Many thanks, Manny
Structure of call to candidate (Introduction into the call) Have you heard of (Our Company)? If not I can explain (always give an overview on position and company, even if the candidate knows your company well) (Technical/Behavioural questions) Talk me through your position at (your company) (team structure, projects, report)? How proficient would you say you are in using React, Node.js, GraphQL, and other Javascript frameworks such as JEST for testing? Are you currently building REST APIs, if so how comfortable are you in building them? What types of version controls are you using (Git, CVS, SVN, etc.) Have you got experience in using module bundlers such as Webpack and Continuous Integration environments like Travis or Gitlab? (Nice to have)
Structure of call to candidate (Background Question) Do you stay up to date with latest development trends? If so, how? (Technical books, Twitter blogs) Are you active on Github? Do you contribute to any open source software projects? Or do you take part in Hackthons? Or do you have any projects your creating on the side? (games, websites etc.) (General Questions) What's your situation at the moment? (address pain-points) What are you looking for in your new position? (use this to sell the role) Desired Salary? Current Salary? Notice period? Nationality/Right to work? Do you have any other interview on the go? If so, what stage are they at? (if this is a hot candidate, then we may need to move quickly) (Short summary of notes to send to hiring manager)
