What is ‘multichannel sourcing’? ?? As AI becomes part of the recruitment tech stack, using shared language helps address concerns and increase agreement. We’ll provide a term related to AI recruitment use cases each week to help you get ramped up. This week’s use case: ?multichannel sourcing ? Multichannel sourcing is a talent acquisition strategy that seeks the best matched talent from any hiring channel – inbound, past applicants, referrals, alumni, talent pools, and external sourcing. Different channels signal different interest levels and awareness of an open position and employer brand. The channel source and quality of the match can be used to prioritize candidates for outreach. GenAI can be used to interpret a job description, search across data, and personalize outreach based on channel and match. Machine learning might be used with human supervision to categorize and classify data for searching. Deep learning can be used to create connections between data sets.

Recruiters are optimistic about job growth and recruiting demand for 2025 ?? Despite concerns about economic uncertainty and continued fears of a recession, 7 in 10 recruiters remain optimistic about what’s to come. According to Recruiter.com's Future of Talent Acquisition and Recruitment 2025 report: ? Almost 1 in 3 respondents reported that they plan to increase TA headcounts ? More than 1 in 3 plan to hire more recruiters in the next 12 months ? Less than 40% report planned budget cuts, suggesting continued hiring demand The optimism among hiring professionals, combined with payroll starts and BLS forecasts, suggests that the job market remains resilient. So, while caution is always prudent, reports of a hiring downturn appear to be greatly exaggerated ?? “Our forward looking demand is more about strategic hiring than it is about a big increase in net new headcount. The size of our TA team will remain stable, so our primary path to improvement is to increase our operational effectiveness. Table stakes for recruiter success include strong sourcing expertise and the discipline to self-monitor and continuously seek to improve upon key performance indicators.” - Amy Cropper, VP of Global Talent Acquisition, Tricentis

I'm sharing this today as my company has Monday off to allow us time to honor Veterans Day with family and friends. ?? As the spouse of a veteran, this day holds a significance that grows with each passing year. For me, it’s a day of gratitude, pride, and commitment to honoring those who give so much for our freedom. This day means: - Supporting our veterans, not just on this day but year-round. It’s easy to say "thank you" on Veterans Day, but our support, understanding, and appreciation should be felt every day. Veterans and their families carry the weight of their service long after they return home, and our commitment to them should reflect that. - Teaching my daughter about her father’s service—about the dedication, resilience, and courage it takes to travel the world in defense of freedom. I want her to grow up with an understanding of what it means to serve and the honor behind it. She’ll learn how her father’s experiences shape not only him but also our family’s values and sense of purpose. - Recognizing the sacrifices our active military members and their spouses make every day, from time spent away from loved ones to the personal challenges they endure in service to our country. They give up birthdays, holidays, and countless family milestones to answer the call of duty. To all veterans and their families: Thank you for your unwavering service. Veterans Day is not just a day off; it’s a day to remember and to honor the strength and sacrifices of our nation’s heroes and those who love them. #veteransday
