    "Performance reviews."

    The words strike fear and dread in the hearts of employees everywhere. Their angst is understandable: Performance reviews typically are not done often enough and all too often are done poorly.

    The best practices of a recruitment sourcing process should center on the social side of sourcing and recruiting, the art and craft of getting the best information to feed into the machine.
    • The process starts with having an effective, robust conversation with the hiring manager -- and truly listening
    • The process ends when you have enough valuable data to make it possible to find qualified candidates aligned with the organization's culture and style in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
    Although organizations often believe a bottleneck in their recruiting efforts is the result of a systems problem, more often than not it is the result of a skills deficit.  In other words, it’s a people problem.
