Today marks the official start of the World’s Greatest Sourcer competition!

Hundreds of sourcers worldwide will duke out their candidate hunting skills in a decathlon series of challenges to prove their chops as the top talent pro.

From now through April 21st, competitors will run the course of the funnel top ranging from building specialized candidate search strings, finding people in a phone sourcing scavenger hunt, and customizing job descriptions and search engines.

Second place isn’t so bad either. The runner-up will get 10 must-reads to add to their library, including Free Agent Nation, Hiring Smart, and the Talent Sourcing and Recruitment Handbook – a stellar reading list for all talent rookies, amateurs, and pros. (Check out a full reading list here.)
