Any tips on the format of a sourcing strategy?
I've been tasked with creating a general sourcing strategy (1st time doing this) and I'm unsure of what's the best way to put this together or where to begin.

Have a very general understanding from Google on what to cover but I'm unsure if there's any best practices out there that work for you?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Best practice for a sourcing strategy is to use 4 tiers for example if it’s a retail company you are hiring for
1- direct competitors industry specific - same size or revenue
2- other retailers that are direct in alignment may be larger in size and revenue
3- retailers in general (different industries)
4- best athletes (manufacturing companies/CPG companies, etc)
Prioritize ring 1 and 2 usually candidates are from there and then divide it by geographical location if role is in person
Can help better if you provide any classification on industry or function you are making the sprucing strategy for

So then
1- companies that specifically do Freight forwarding simply google freight forwarding service all those that offer it will certainly come up
2- transportation
3- logistics (recommendation)
4- service industries in general

look at transportation association they’ll have some options too
Once you get your ideal profile look backward where did they come from? And you can start building a strategy from then onwards

Let’s talk about wrongful termination. The other day I was fired in the middle of the day without any warning. My colleagues called me because they were confused on why the Talent Manager dismissed me from the chat. I didn’t know what they were referring to. So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
