Take Action
Don’t Just Read It. Use It.
This Playbook isn’t something to flick through once and forget. It’s designed to shift how you search – and how you hire. Here’s how to make it stick.
Download it
Obvious, but important. Save it somewhere visible – not buried in a “resources” folder. You’ll want it close by when you’re running your next search.
Read it once, start to finish
Go through it properly the first time. Don’t skim. Let the ideas challenge how you’ve been doing things. Let it reframe what “good” sourcing can actually look like.
Review your current search process
Be honest. Where are the gaps? Where are you relying on guesswork or old strings that haven’t been touched in months? Use the Playbook to spot the friction points.
Go back and re-read key sections
This time, highlight. Take notes. Share the parts that resonate with your team or hiring manager. Start conversations. Use it as a tool, not a textbook.
