Chuidian: Source Through Conferences

Have you ever looked for prospective hires at a conference? There are conferences for all types of workers in every field. If you’re sourcing for a particular type of employee, often you can get a good list of potential leads through a conference or seminar that an employee would attend. In a recent episode of Dueling Sourcers, Mike Chuidian explained to host Stacey Broadwell how he uses this technique to source for good candidates.

“I love to infiltrate conferences, especially the ones that are free and virtual,” said Mike. “If you can find a conference you can sign up for for free, do it. You can usually get the list of attendees from the conference website.” He then uses Instant Data Scraper to find the attendees’ vital information to use to contact them for open roles.

Mike is a Sr. Executive Talent Sourcer at ServiceNow. He has 16 years of sourcing and recruiting in various industries. He’s a wannabe data science and machine learning geek and his everyday sourcing and recruiting consists of leveraging his expertise in mining social data and utilizing various information retrieval methods to build profile lists and find awesome talent. 

Dueling Sourcers is the monthly show from TechRecruit, hosted by TechRecruit CEO Stacey Broadwell, that proves there is more than one way to source for talent. To find out more about Mike’s ideas and tips, check out the entire Dueling Sourcers episode in the TechRecruit Members Hub.
