Other than LinkedIn, what one other site would you recommend for networking with potential candidates, professional, not entry level, and cross function and industry? Where is your favorite place to find resumes?

Shally Steckerl
Jennifer Scott - I like xing, trybe, ryze, and ecademy but you can search them all from wink.com

Emily Vanderzwart
I recently started my own firm and am taking a chance at sourcing all passive candidates. Any suggestions on initally pitches to get candidates interested? I do mostly IT in trading and finance.

Shally Steckerl
Emily - you don't pitch or sell to passive candidates. Call from the perspective of LISTENING to them and understanding their needs, network with them and they will work with you.

Emily Vanderzwart
I guess, I mean because I call them at work, I introduce myself and then try to "pitch" them on why I can help but sometime I get, no and hung up on....
