Episode description

Too many companies believe sourcing is an entry-level job. This is the worst way to look at a very critical function. Sourcing is NOT an entry-level job for recruiters! And Garrett is as convinced as I am.
 
 Garrett joined Google when the company had 35,000 employees and left the company 7 years later when they were 180,000. Today, he builds the tech sourcing team at Grammarly.
 
 So who better than Garrett to reveal to us in this episode the secrets of how to build and manage best-in-class sourcing teams.
 
 Here’s what you’ll discover in this new episode:
 -How to radically change your vision of sourcing
 -How to structure a sourcing team
 -How to decide on the right recruiter-to-sourcer ratio? 3 to 1, 2 to 1, 1 to 1?
 -What are the standards for a sourcer in terms of number of emails sent per week, open rate, and reply rate?
 -How to find, manage and optimize sourcing data
