Navigating the Tech Talent Landscape: A Sourcing Perspective
Beyond Resumes: How Our Sourcing Team Finds Game-Changing Tech Talent
By: Emmy Hill
In today's unprecedented technology job market, the difference between adequate and exceptional talent makes more of a difference now than ever. At Objective Partners, our dedicated sourcing team has discovered that finding top-tier tech talent is both an art and a science—a nuanced process that goes far beyond traditional recruiting methods.
The technology recruitment ecosystem has transformed dramatically in recent years. With emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity creating increasingly specialized roles, companies can no longer post a job on their website and wait for the right candidate to apply. OP’s sourcing approach is proactive and strategic, focusing on identifying and engaging professionals who may not be actively seeking new opportunities but possess the precise skill sets our clients need.
What sets our sourcing methodology apart is our commitment to deep technical understanding, as well as the art of getting a text back. Our team doesn't just match keywords on a resume—we develop comprehensive profiles of candidates, understanding their technical capabilities, career trajectories, and potential for growth. This means when we present a candidate to a client, we're offering more than just a potential employee; we're presenting a strategic talent asset that can drive technological innovation.
Of course, finding these qualified candidates is only half the battle. A sourcer not only has to identify the ideal candidate, but create a relationship with that person, introduce them to the hiring team, and facilitate the hiring process. We don’t just present a resume and run to the next project, we will continue to advocate for our people in process, sharing feedback and next steps.
Personally, I’ve never been a part of a more passionate, dedicated sourcing team. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds: whether they studied history, psychology, anthropology, or business- all of us have a knack for digging in, digging deep, and searching for the right fit for an organization. No two days are the same for a tech sourcer; we work with everyone from early career to executive, from a high volume full stack developer role to a director of data analytics, we will utilize every tool and technique to get the right person for the job.
