“I have had the opportunity to work with Erica over the past several months. She has been my best recruiter by far. Her ability to drive for results, clearly communicate, and maintain an organized recruitment process has also made her a favorite of many of the hiring managers. I have also been impressed with Erica's sincere desire to bring on individuals that will be the best fit for the business. She does not just recruit to check boxes. She gets things done right.”

You're a recruiting professional who's an introvert. How can you make meaningful connections with others?
It's incorrect to assume that an introvert won't make good connections with candidates and hiring managers. Just because I'm an introvert doesn't mean I can't talk to people or build trust and rapport with candidates and hiring managers. It just means that all that relationship building and those conversations I am having will drain me, so I'll need some time to recharge my batteries. While an extrovert is maybe having high-energy interactions, spending a lot of time talking, I am spending more time listening to my candidates, asking probing questions about what drives them, giving them a thoughtful overview of my role or company, so I can find out what it's going to take to entice them here.

What are the most effective ways to streamline the sourcing process?
High caliber, top-performing candidates aren't sitting around monitoring LinkedIn, waiting for you to contact them, so don't solely rely on LinkedIn Recruiter to get a message to them. You can start with InMails. It's low hanging fruit, after all, and you might get lucky. But have other tools you can use to source contact info. Send an email (to home AND work) and pick up the phone to call them or send a text to get their attention. Several times candidates have told me they never saw my InMail, and it wasn't until I used another avenue to contact them did they see my outreach attempt. If at first you don't succeed, well, you know the rest...
