<p>I am going to name this the "Zombie thread". Everytime i think it is dead it rises again and walks amongst us. Occurs to me that if Maureen is having a banner year or did last year that sourcing is not dead. If Jerry had a good year last year using the net, the net is producing results.

<p>I am willing to guess thatthere is at least some link to how hard a person is to find and how difficult they may be to recruit. I don't think there are a substantial number of very viable candiates out there who say: "Oh, you've found me despite all my attempts to make it difficult for you to. You've proven your worthiness- I'd LOVE to work at anything you can present to me".</p>

<p>I am willing to guess thatthere is at least some link to how hard a person is to find and how difficult they may be to recruit.

You've proven your worthiness- I'd LOVE to work at anything you can present to me".</p>
<p>Fundamentally, I think the problems are not figuring out how to find- or even finding people overall- as John Sumser said a number of years ago (and I think it's truer today than then) "Pretty good sourcing is getting better and better". The real problems are:</p>
<p>1) Having something worthwhile to tell the people that you want- most companies having little to offer but their recruiting & marketing hype.</p>
<p>2) Being willing to hire the kind of people willing to work for them for what they DO have to offer.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Nearly every profession now requires some degree of technical literacy - and a natural part of that literacy is the internet. It is use for communication, research, socializing and a host of other things.</p>

<p>Keep on digging up the engineers that haven't put a resume together since '72 Maureen....I'll stick with finding people that live and work in today's world.</p>

<p>I'm certain there are quite a few "non internet" people as well. Though, as a recruiter, I find no need to drag those people out of the basement only to have them realize they want no part of the greater landscape and are quite happy right where they are.</p>

<p>No need whatsoever to uncover the people who are not engaged enough to at least have some sense of internet basics.</p>

<p>Jerry, you are right. Everyone is on the net these days. When my 5 year old can zip through my Ipad quicker than I can and my 70 year old father is on Facebook nightly, you know stuff can be found on the Net.</p>
