The i-identify Approach 

The name I chose for my company i-identify relates to what I do. I identify talent with my clients.

Through various boot camps, Boolean training courses, and a mild case of OCD, I have become adept at social media sourcing – using Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter and Search Engines.

Finding great candidates comes by way of relentless research and requests for introductions, it also comes from cold-calling. When a potential candidate’s information is public, my assumption is they want to be found. Recruiting success is contingent upon building community and identifying talent pools.

When I hunt someone down, I do so having done the requisite background research and initiating a conversation that will inspire them to have a conversation with me.  It is not all that sophisticated, but it is precisely this kind of fine-tuning, keen perception, and confidence that results in a successful placement.

Sourcing talent is not only about aligning skills to a job, but also about understanding the nuances of culture, leadership styles, and vision. It is about identifying the kind of person and opportunity that will make a transformational difference for all parties concerned.
