Sourcing Candidates: a “Horse Race to the Finish”

You don’t really have to be a race horsing fan to know what the Kentucky Derby is. Just like you don’t have to know about the value of a split placement network to know how important sourcing candidates is for a recruiter.

So . . . we decided to combine the two!

No, we’re not traveling to Churchill Downs this weekend for the Kentucky Derby. We’ll probably just watch it on television, like most of the rest of you. Instead, we have three case studies below that illustrate how sourcing candidates in Top Echelon Network leads to placements.

Here are just some of things said about these candidates and these placements:

• “Two excellent candidates”
• “Our client absolutely LOVED [the] candidate”
• “Great candidate”

And of course, there was also a horse reference thrown in for good measure. That’s because sourcing candidates, presenting candidates, and making placements IS like a horse race. With the help of your split partners in Top Echelon Network, you can ride grade-A thoroughbred candidates all the way to the Winner’s Circle.

Not only that, but one of the recruiting firms listed below, Compton & Associates, is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky: the site of the Kentucky Derby every year. (So how’s that for closing the Great Circle of Life and Placements?)

So if you’re looking to get in the race, don’t “hold your horses.” Contact Top Echelon Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS at 330.455.1433, x156 or via email at drea@topechelon.com.

Because you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him dri . . . you know what? I think that’s enough for today.
