Team workshops
Workshop on Sourcing with AI
Private cohort workshop for sourcing teams and TA pods who own discovery and top of funnel. These pages spell out format, sample exercises, tooling, logistics, optional post-workshop engineering, and how to book.
Problems we solve
Where sourcing work breaks, and what we fix
The workshop follows top-of-funnel work, not a vendor feature list. Each block lists symptoms we hear often, then what we build in the room so the pod leaves with the same playbook.
LinkedIn overuse, high costs
Symptoms
- Leadership wants more pipeline, but the team repeats the same LinkedIn plays every week.
- There is no short market map or alternate pools document new members can read in ten minutes.
Workshop focus
A market map template, pool research with falsify rules, and a weekly coverage table that names channels and owners.
Skill gaps, inconsistent AI use
Symptoms
- A few people run tight, testable queries while others stall on single-word search.
- AI use is inconsistent: some paste everything into a model, others avoid tools entirely.
Workshop focus
Parallel plans merged into one checklist, shared quality gates, and role clarity on who owns classical versus assisted steps.
Low replies, risky outreach claims
Symptoms
- Reply rates fall when templates read obviously generated.
- Brand and compliance teams push back on claims or tone in candidate comms.
Workshop focus
Variant writing with specificity, proof, and a red-team pass before send, plus a short policy flag list tied to your examples.
Disconnected tools, weak recruiter handoff
Symptoms
- Paid signals, scrapers, and LLM tabs do not connect to a repeatable weekly rhythm.
- Handoff to recruiters is informal, so downstream teams redo research quietly.
Workshop focus
A weekly sourcing plan artifact, ATS field guidance, and a handoff pack structure that travels with the search record.
Sourcing effort invisible to leadership
Symptoms
- It is hard to show what was searched, why a pool was chosen, and what to try next week.
- Retro conversations drift to opinions instead of documented experiments.
Workshop focus
Lightweight retros with experiments, evidence, and recruiter-ready bullets that respect minimization rules.
You are in the right place if…
- You lead sourcing or top-of-funnel for TA and need one baseline playbook across mixed skill levels.
- You bought signals and assistants, but only part of the pod uses them in a repeatable weekly rhythm.
- You need written rules for what may leave approved systems, what must be verified, and who signs outreach.
- You want recruiters to trust sourcing handoffs because they can see pools tried, unknowns, and next experiments.
