The Sourcing Strategy That Gets People Hired (Not Applications) | E02e
Description
Submitting 257 applications and hearing crickets? You're doing it wrong.
In this segment of Tech Legacies, host Fanny Dunagan sits down with the team from Odyssey Information Services, Kristin Hughes (2021 SourceCon Grand Master Challenge Winner), Jon Hibbs, and Ben Coan, to pull back the curtain on how elite recruiters actually find candidates, what's broken in today's job market, and the unconventional moves that get people hired.
You'll hear:
- What "sourcing" really is and why the best recruiters work more like Sherlock Holmes than HR
- The wild story of how Kristin tracked down a software engineer who had hidden every trace of his contact info online
- The Home Depot Garden Center hack. How one product manager got into a company's internal job portal by taking a frontline job first
- Why AI-written resumes are getting candidates rejected (and the proofreading rule that saves you)
- The future of IT, AI, and why human connection is making a comeback
- Real leadership lessons from 25+ years of building tech teams
- The legacy each leader wants to leave behind
If you're job hunting, hiring, or building a career in tech, this conversation is packed with tactical advice you won't hear anywhere else.
