Social Recruiting and Talent Sourcing on Digital Channels

The best candidates are often not actively looking, which means recruiters must go and find them on professional networks, social platforms and community groups. This programme builds practical sourcing skills, from Boolean searching to building a talent pipeline through direct outreach. Delegates practise crafting messages that get responses in the African professional context.
