I was chatting to a recruitment company owner the other day, and we were debating about how tough Agency recruitment is as an industry.

As two members of Netflix’s talent team took the stage at our Talent Innovation Summit , they immediately explained that while their roles entail sourcing, they aren’t “sourcers”. Instead, Tennyson Jones and Michael Orozco introduced themselves as Recruiting Researchers. Intrigued, we were eager to unpack the reason behind this differentiation. Why did Netflix build a team of “recruiting researchers”, and how does that role differ from that of “sourcers”?

It’s often easy enough to find candidates with the right qualifications and relevant experience, but qualifications and experience aren’t enough to guarantee an employee’s success.

Every company wants to hire the best candidate available to them. Talented employees are the driving force behind a company’s success.

Although slavery had been abolished 50 years prior to his arrival, little had changed for those working the Morledge Plantation near Johnson Township, Arkansas.

Time to hire was 29.2 working days in August, just shy of the all-time high of 30.3 working days in April of this year. It’s been steadily increasing since 2010, when it took half as long to fill a role. This is, no doubt, spurred by the high demand for—and shortage of—skilled talent. Despite this being the new normal, organizations and candidates alike are struggling with the amount of time it takes to fill a role.
