Sourcing for Diversity: Sourcing Outside the Box - Talent Insights [Ep 67]

Ryan and Robyn expand on "sourcing outside of the box." They go over how to use conferences to find professional social media presences of candidates while learning new things at the same time. Robyn starts by demonstrating how to discover different conferences within the space that you'd like to look into, then how to find the attendees without going through all the hassle of trying to find a conference list. They also discuss the importance of respecting boundaries on social media. If you happen upon a candidate's Twitter and they keep a separate professional twitter, only reach out to them via the professional Twitter. The same could be said of any social media platform. The important thing to remember is that while this seems time-intensive the quality of the candidates you find will be high as they're candidates who engage with the space. You also might learn something along the way!
