Join me today at 1p.m. EST on the TalkSourcing segment of the Recruiting Animal's (Noon) Radio Show. I'll be there to answer your questions on phone sourcing after Animal's guest interview with Josh Kahn, winner of Sourcecon Challenge 2008 at noon EST.

How do you "do" a company's telephone bank? (Be prepared to spend some time.)
How do you match current titles to names that come off that phone bank? (It's not as hard as you think!)
Is it necessary to lie to the Gatekeeper? (No.)
Is there a way to get the Gatekeeper to tell me what I want to know? (Yes.)
Do I have what it takes to be a phone sourcer? (We'll see.)
Am I better off sticking to my Internet sourcing? (Absolutely not.)

We started these questions on the November 19 show (audio is posted on the MagicMethod site!) but hardly got through many of them so we’ll continue them today. It will probably be more than enough to cover in one hour and whoever shows up to ask these questions will get the answers!
