Agenda at a Glance

What if the perfect candidate for your role isn’t on LinkedIn? What if they’re hidden in plain sight — buried in the comment sections of niche blogs, mentioned in obscure meeting minutes, or captured in the attendee lists of industry events? The overabundance of content means that sourcing the right talent demands precision, ingenuity, creativity, and the ability to look past the obvious to search beyond the surface.

Join Shally Steckerl for an electrifying two-hour deep dive into advanced techniques that redefine what’s possible in talent discovery. Shally will reveal strategies to uncover untapped talent pools by harnessing the full power of the deep web, unconventional platforms, and simple automations.

Key Takeaways

• Crack the Deep Web Code: Learn to search where others don’t, from image and video metadata to blog post comments, mailing list archives, and user groups.
• Master Peer Regression: Identify influencers and thought leaders, then track down their hidden networks to find their peers and collaborators.
• Reverse-Engineer Talent Profiles: Discover the language candidates use to describe themselves, their work, and their communities, and use it to refine your searches.
• Turn Old Data into Gold: Use modern natural language search techniques to surface candidates from ATS systems, databases, and even hidden corners of LinkedIn.
• Automate for Scale: Apply cutting-edge automation to streamline your sourcing efforts without sacrificing precision.

In this session, Shally will equip you with hacks that transcend Boolean logic and tap into unconventional data sources, giving you a competitive edge in any market. Walk away with strategies you can implement immediately, and tools to build pipelines of talent you didn’t even know existed.

Are you ready to move beyond the surface and revolutionize your sourcing game? This is your opportunity to explore the future of talent discovery with one of the industry’s most innovative minds.
