2. How Do The Best Leaders Find The Best Talent

In this video, we explore the second step to great hiring: sourcing. Sourcing is all about generating a steady flow of quality candidates. Insights from over 100 top leaders revealed that 77% of the best talent comes from personal, one-on-one networking—both within and outside their organizations.

Here’s a simple sourcing template:

  • Identify 10 people likely to know great candidates.

  • Reach out to them directly (via calls or emails).

  • Collect and rank candidate names from best to worst, assigning ratings to prioritize your efforts.

Start at the top of your list and work your way down to ensure you're connecting with the strongest prospects.
