How Recruiters Find Candidates

What sources do you or your recruiters use to find candidates for your project positions? Are you using sources as other recruiters are using them? Or are you unnecessarily restricting where you look?

A new survey gives us an inside look into the world of recruiters to see what to expect in your projects. Some interesting points from this survey help refine our understanding:

  • Businesses are showing signs of recovery and will continue to grow.
  • Recruiters face two big problems now: Finding good candidates and filling positions quickly enough.
  • Where do recruiters find candidates? Candidates are most often coming from job boards telling us that this much-maligned traditional method is still popular. The remaining candidates, however, are found between referrals, corporate web sites, internal candidates, and social networking sites.  Recruiters are using whatever they can to get their candidates. You should too - including using gantthead.com.

More details are in their nifty little diagram below.
