A Better Sourcing Process Starts with a Clear Requirement
A productive sourcing process begins with a requirement that candidates, recruiters and decision-makers can understand in the same way. Before outreach starts, employers should document the purpose of the role, its core responsibilities and the experience genuinely needed for successful performance. Separate essential criteria from preferences. Record the job category, expected headcount, work location, working arrangements and proposed start timing. Explain who the role reports to, which skills will be assessed and who will approve the shortlist. If any document, licensing or country-specific requirement may apply, mark it for review by the appropriate qualified adviser rather than treating it as confirmed. A shared brief gives sourcing teams a consistent reference, supports relevant candidate conversations and makes later screening more structured. Review the brief whenever operational needs change, and keep one current version so outdated instructions are not reused.
