The World's Greatest Sourcer is off to a swift start! We're just a week deep and a few challenges into the competition, but from what we've seen, this contest is on fire. We don't need water, but we would like you to join the party!
Hundreds of contestants are duking it out for the title of none other than the World's Greatest Sourcer, and there's still time to put on your sourcing hat, freshen up your hunting skills, and hit the ground running.
Here's why you should cash in on the extra tickets we saved for you and your team to hop on the bandwagon.
Sharpen your sourcing and recruiting skills!
The modern day hiring pro is a well-rounded sourcing and recruiting beast who not only knows their way around building Boolean search strings and mining candidate data across multiple platforms, but also using dubbed old school techniques for finding the right candidate for their team. The World's Greatest Sourcer competition gives you a chance to dip your toes in all these tried-and-true, new and not-so-new talent hunting methods alongside dozens of competitors who happen to have the same goal in the bigger picture – to place great people in their opportunities. Think of WGS as a community for sharing ideas and observing best practices of rookies and pros alike. The Hat Tip Challenge is a great example of this.
We tell you the tricks of the trade you need to win.
We partnered up with The Sourcing Institute's Shally Steckerl and Guidewire' Ronnie Bratcher to share the essential search techniques you'll need to boost your chances of winning first place. Watch the 5 Hacks to Win the World’s Greatest Sourcer Challenge to get the best prep for the competition.
You could win $2,500...
Speaking of first place, a few bills in the bank wouldn't hurt, right? Bragging rights and snazzy trophy included, too.
...or a complimentary set of stuff sourcing dreams are made of to help you rule at your job.
WGS is going to be a tight race to the finish line and whoever places second isn't leaving empty-handed. We're giving away this set of 10 books every talent pro should have on their nightstand as a consolation prize. P.S. Even if you don't end up winning either, these must-reads are guaranteed to boost your chances of winning next year's WGS challenge (not to be confused with the SourceCon Challenge).
