Typical candidate identification and pre-screening process:

1. Each sourcer will be assigned a manager, or managers for whom they will work with.
2. Each manager will send their most critical job req's to there assigned sourcer.
3. The sourcer team manager, the assigned sourcer, and the hiring manager will have a conference call to discuss the hiring managers openings, and key "minimum qualifications for each position.
4. A set of qualifying questions will be put together so that the sourcer can pre-screen candidates to confirm they are qualified for the position.
 5. The sourcer will send two to three calibration resumes ( "calibration" as in resumes of candidates who have not been contacted, but appear to match the job description based on the candidates resume) to the hiring manager for each job req. (time goal 24-to 48 hours)
6. The hiring manager will review the calibration resumes, and reply to the sourcer as to how well the calibration candidate meets the qualification. These calibration candidates will also help the hiring manager focus in on what types of candidates are in the market and their compensation.
7. Now that the sourcer has a good feel for what the hiring manager is looking for, the sourcer’s goal will be to generate 2 to 4 pre-screened (candidates who have been contacted, and pre-screened to meet the hiring managers qualifications, are ok with relocation or the commute, are within the salary range, and have been sent the job description.
8. Each screened candidate will be sent directly to the hiring manager for his or her review. The hiring manager will immediately agree that the candidate is qualified. The hiring manager will provide the sourcer specific and detailed feedback on what about the candidate is on target, and where the candidate might be off target.
9. If the hiring manager likes the candidate, he or she will reply to the sourcer, as to what they want the next step to be for the candidate (take the online test, phone screen, on-site etc….)
10. The sourcer will work with the candidate to move on to next steps (set up the test, time for phone screen etc...) of the hiring process.
11. Each week a metrics report will be generated for the hiring managers to review. It will show how many candidates were generated, what candidates were screened and sent, and where the candidates are in the interviewing process. (this way no candidates will get lost)
